THE WORLD NOT so Old.

The license OF science was strongly rebukeu
the other day by so eminent an authority as
Lord Kelvin ar the annual meeting or the VIC
torla Institute in London. The theme OF his
address was the familiar and much-debaed one
of the age of the earth and he placed himself.
rs n physicist squarely in opposition TO the
view: commonly set forth by the young lions
Of evolutionary biology He did not, OF course
ottemp. TO solve tie unsolvable problem He
did not consider the question Of the duration of
matter in its primitive form. But he unhesi-
tatlncly opposed and denied the theory thai
life has existed upon this globe for hundreds OF
millions of years and that such a space OF time
has been required for the evolution OF present
forms.
The whole notion of such nconceivable %ons
was. he contendod preposterous as was also
Tim, Of unlimited" duration OF the globe. By
calculations of the lessening of the angular We
locity Of the rotation Of the earth, the amount
of heat IT threw Off and other matters. it was
possible to determine limit Of time beyond
which the globe could not have been hab!table
hv any form of life because beyond thar point
It was not n solid hut az incandcscent or molten
mass. That limit was probably about twenty
million years ago. 1t may not have been more
have been more than thirty million Some
where between those figures. therefore. the age
OF tie Nfe-bearing earth could confidently he
placed.
II makes no practical difference to The man OF
today whether such age is twenty millions or
twenty billions of years II Is not probable
that there will cvec be any universal agreement
of scientists upon date within even sc broad
q margin as the thirteen million years allowed
bv Lord Kelvin. But such utterances as the
address which we have quoted tend strongly
TO sanity Of thought and doctrine, and that quail
ity is needed IN natural science no less than in
politics or theology No man. scientist or lay
man. need bc ashamed to accept on Lord KEEL
wins authority the belief that life in any form
on this globe Il not at most more than thirty
million years old. nor indeed the still more dar-
ing theory Of the same authority that such
life was Of extraneOus origin. The last word
concerning biogenesis or in cosmology has not
yet been spoken.

White left for San Francisco early this
morning, taking with him Corbett's other

White was congratulated on all sides for
his work in putting the ex-champion into

CORBETT AND SILER.
what They said tn Each other just
BEFORE the Battle.

CARSON. New, March 1S.-Just before
the light yesterday an interesting CONVEX
sation took place in Corbett's dressing
room at the arena between the champion
and Referee George Siler. Corbett opened
the conversation by saying:
George, / want to win this fight fairly:
How do you think you are going 10 WIN
# that yor make such a remark as that!
asked Siler. =.
.Oh. / don't mean any reflection on you.
reioined Corbett. But there are lots OF
friends from San Francisco at the ring
side. and they will not stand IL TO see me
lose. III Martin Julian goes into that ring
he will have the whole top OF MS heau
blown Of"
THAT means. / suppose" said Siler.
''that IL / don't do just right the whole
top OF my head will be blown off,"
Not at ALL" COrbett replied. But my
friends will not stand for me to lose.
Il will tell you one thing. said Sier,
sand that is. the very best you are going 10
get out of this thing will be an even break;
That Is all you are entitled 10, and IL is all
that you are going to get. That IS all
FTtzsimmons has coming TO him. and ne
will get Just that and nothing more. u Is
possible that j may lose my head and make
a mistake. but 1 am going TO be careful,
and 7 will see that both of you get an
even break and nothing more"
Corbett again declared that he had not
meant that any attempt would be made 10
the feelings of his friends could not be re-
strained In case they saw him losing. The
eEd OF the fight. however. was so quick and
SO decisive that there was no room for ar
gument on the part of the seconds OF Cor
bett or anybody else.
