nor less than an approximate guess. Some
few years ago, when the question was agi-
lated, ii was stated that the cost OF n
hish-grade wheel at the factory. counting
material and labor, was about S35 This
was when bicycles sold at $50 each or
thereabouts. Since then a revised estimate
placed the cost of each wheel. complete as
Sent on the market from the factory, is
given as q little less than Si2 and this al
together, making the materials cost some
thing like s2I. This is probably as near a
correct estimate as II Is possible to get
though some concerns claim that Il costs
them much more to manufacture their
make on account of different quality of
material used. There is no way to dis
prove this statement. The profit on one
bicycle from the factory TO the cyclist is
quite large. yet In majority OF cases this
profit is divided between the manufacturer
and one or two-or perhaps more-middle-
men, who finally complete the sale.
"Will the price OF wheels be any lower
next season." is the question that is now
asked. This Is hard to answer. II seems
probable that at the opening OF the next
season there will be some decrease In the
price of all high-grade wheels. 1t seems
most likely that S15 will be the uniform
price of bicycles for the whole of next sea-
son. though many confidently expect the
price TO come as low az $50 for a high
grade machine. The competition I'm the
trade is so great that one manufac-
turer cannot afford to charge so much more
than another for hts particular make of
wheel, and II looks as though before the
end OF the present season all, or nearly all.
OF the high-grade wheels Will be reduced,
with next season yet to be heard from.

THE WORLD NOT SO OLD.

The license of science was strongly
rebukcd the other day by so eminent an
authority as Lord Kelvin at the annual
meeting of the Victoria Institute, in
London. The theme of his address was
the familiar and much-debated one of
the age of the earth, and he placed him
self, as physicist, squarely in opposi-
tion to the views commonly set forth
by the young lions of evolutionary BIZ
OlCgy. He did not, of course, attempt
to solve the unsolvable problem. He
did not consider the question of the du-
ration Of matter in its primitive form.
But he unhesitatingly opposed and de-
MED the theory that life has existed
upon this globe for hundreds of mil
lions of years. and that such a space of
time has been required for the evolu-
ton of present forms.
The whole notion of such inconceiv-
able aeons was, he contended, prepos-
ferrous, as was also that OF unlimited
duration of the globe. BY calculation
CT the lessening CT the angular velocity
of the rotation of the earth, the amount
Of heat 1t threw off and other matters,
it was possible to determine a limit of
time beyond which the globe could not
have been habitab.e by amy form of
life, because beyond that point it was
not solid but an incandescent or mol
ten mass. That limit was probably
about twenty million years ago. It may
not have been more than seventeen
million. Certainly 1t could not have
been more than thirty million. Some
where between these figures, therefore,
the age OF the life-bearing earth could
confidently be placed.
1t makes no practical difference to
the man of to-day whether such age is
twenty millions or twenty billions of
years. II is not probable that there Will
ever be any universal agreement of
scientists upon a date within even so
broad margin as the thirteen million
years allowed by Lord Kelvin. But sucn
utterances as the address which we
have quoted tend strongly to sanity OF
thought and doctrine and that quality
is needed in natural science no less
than in politics or theology. No man.
scientist or layman, need be ashamed
to accept on Lord Kelvin's authority
the belief that life in any form on this
globe is not at most more than thirty
million years old, nor indeed the still
more daring theory of the same author
ity that such life was of eXtraneous orr
gin. The last word concerning blogen-
esis or in cosmology has not yet been
