GAIN MILLIONS OF YEARS.
Scientists Helped in Estimates Of the
esrtn's Age by Radiur.

London.-sir Robert Ball said in a
lecture at the Bishopgate institute
that the discovery OF radium had gone
a long way toward solving an impor.
tzna controversy between mathmati-
clans and biologists.
Lord Kelvin calculated from what
was then known about the earth's in
ternal heat that not more than 90
100000 years ago tive surface was 80
hot water could not rest on IL and the
oceans were vaporous." Biologists
contended that it must have taken
500. O0o. 600 years for the rocks to form
and reach their present condition. The
mathematicians revised Kelvin's fig
ures and said he was right.
Now il appears that the earth's
crust contains a considerable quantity
OF radium. which is forever pouring
out heat at a great rate This being
the case. Sir Robert reasons. the
date at which the earth first became
cool enough for life must have been
sufficiently remote to give biologists
all the 500, O00. 600 years they demand
to account for phenomena they have
found"

Dedication of the Home.

A home into which a family have
recently moved has been dedicated.
Friends met there and an impressive
ceremony. comprising chiefly of pass
ages of Scripture was carried out. A
mother might arrange similar dedi-
cation Of her own home. She could set
apart a day in which all OF the family
could be present and each have a part
In the ceremony. Songs and recitations
relating TO the home life could be sung
or spoken. Some might try their hand
az original songs. The mother. also
the father. could give a talk on the
meaning OF the home and the children
could tell what the home meant to
them. Souvenirs Of the occasion in
the form OF a picture OF the house or a
family group photograph could be dis
tributed. Such an observance is espe-
cially appropriate when a new home Is
entered.
