NEW IDEA OF EARTH,s iEa !
May Be Furnished by Radium and Not
by Internal Fires, Suggests
English Scientist.

Prof. Ernest Rutherford, young but
already distinguished pupil of Prof. ]. J.
Thomas, of Cambridge. who is an au-
thority on radium, threw out the sug-
gestion in a lecture before the Royal
institute of London one night recently
that the heat of the earth is due to
radium and not to internal fires.
He said that Lord Kelvin had calcu-
lated that, assuming the earth to have
been originally a molten mass, it would
take 100, 000, 900 years to cool down to It's
present temperature. but" added the
lecturer. Lord Kelvin showed a pro-
phetic insight when he added, provided
a new source of heat is not discovered"
Prof. Rutherford thought radium had
been proved to be in sufficient quanti-
ties in the earth to supply new theory
as to the source of the earth's heat so
that we should not require the millions
Of years which the geologists and biolo-
gists had reasoned out us the time tax
en- in the cooling process before life on
the globe was possible
The London Daily Mail points out
that the calculation leads to the concIu-
sion that the earth may have been hab-
liable for many millions Of years and
that it further upsets all accepted theo-
ries as to the duration of life, since ra-
dunn exhausts itself only In 10000. 900
years.
