& CHICAGO. May 12-That the earth
will be hnbitnble for hundred million
years to come Is the belief Of DR.. Thorn
as G.. Chamberlin, head OF the depart
mcnt OF geology In the University OF
Chicago. Thia view he expressed In
lecture before the members Of the geo.
graphic society In the municipal museum
last night.
Professor Chnmherlin declared that cli-
matte phenomena and temperature con-
dtions OF the last hundred million years
warranted. him in offering the foregoing
optimistic prophecy.
Ills basis for tho theory OF the perpe-.
tuity for human life was his own plan
etesmal hypothesis" that the world IS
not gradually cooling from ball OF fire,
but that 1t gradually has grown IN SIZE
BY absorbing other smaller masses OF
matter &3s
"Thc earthquake Is really only triv-
mi phenomenon OF the earth. The great
question for Ms Is not that great disas
tcrs impend, but what agencies are llkely
TO perpctuate life" o
Professor Chambcrlin told how the land
and sea cooperate to preserve lie ana
the possibility OF life.
1--WE cannot look with indifference on
the future" said the speaker. the hu-
man race really has just come into pos
session OF the earth. The fact tnat inc
rocks and the animals have had their
eras of prosperity IS tho basis ,for my
belief that we shall have millions OF
years to work out our ideals OF intellec-
tuality II believe the world will be IN
habitnble for millions of,yenrs.

The turning over of the books to Mr..

copied, revealed nothing which was. cal
iculated to throw light on tho question at
issue, as no one could tell just who really

qualified on account of the non payment
OF poll taxes, and others have died or

LAWYERS Didn't Talk.

#j LAWYERS Dl0nC dix.
Mr.. Steiner was accompanied IN court
by his friend and attorney, Jacob Conn,
though the latter had nothing to say.
Neither Cohn nor Commonwealth At
torney Folkes spoke in the case. There
was no room for lawyers:. 1t was merely
matter between His Honor and one Wit
ness, and 1t did not take long to dispose
Of It.
There were number of local politi-
clans OF more or less note In the room,
but nothing developed to make the pro-
ceeding of more than passing.
The matter Of the declination OF former
Registrar Steiner to surrender his books
to his successor, had no direct bearing
upon the fight, which Is being made by
Mr.. John a. selph for a recount OF the
ballots in First Jefferson, though 1t arose
in connection Herewith.
The City Democratic Committee will
meet at Murphy's Wednesday night to
take the matter up and determine
whether there Is sufficient ground to war
rant n recount. The point is raised that
Mr.. Sclph has put himself beyond the
yale Of a contest by his failure to notify
his successful competitors of his Inten-
tions to ask for recount, but the more
conservative view seems to be that the
committee will not stand on such tech
nicality, If 1t appears that the dissatisfied
has ground for his appeal.
