earth finally reaches it's term the

Woodward's result Is that the ratio Of
the change Of the day to Its initial
length Is twO-thirds Of the product Of
the loss Of temperature multiplied by
Its cubical contraction. For example.
II the primitive temperature OF the
earth was 1900 deg. G, and IL its cubi-
cal contraction was that Of iron, the day
will be finally reduced about per
cent-that IL to say. by about an hour
and half. The lapse of time neces-
sary to bring this about Ia enormous.
Three hundred thousand millions Of
years are required, according to Wood
ward, for 95 per cent of the total con-
traction to take place. The length Of
the day will not be sensibly affected,
on the other hand. after the expiration
Of 100000 OF millions OF years. The
fall OF meteOric dust tends to increase
the mass Of the earth, and thus to
change the length OF the day, but the
effect due to this cause Is not above
