meet her and show her the city. The

awaiting her arrival. He accompanied
her to the hotel. The following morn

an elegant brougham. These atten-

of her visit. The lacy appeared over

WOree Than Death Valley.

Geological Time.

An ingenious theory for the estima-
ton of the time of the various geo
logical periods has been propounded by
an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. He says that in one great de-
preston in Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rate of erosion of
the slopes for about 300 years so accu-
rately that the data to be obtained by
a careful study Of them will be a fac
tor Of extreme importance In enabling
scientista to convert geological time
into years. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly, he
makes the rough deduction that, ac-
cOrding to their records the pliOcene
and pleistOcene periods would repre-
sen about 100000 years, and that.
on this basis, the cenizoic time would
be about 100000 years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning Of the Cambrian epoch
would be &.OOO.OOO years.
