a Jury-ls Remanded to the Tombs Prison Pending Sentence.
 New York, Oct. 25-Former Vice President Walter k. Gillette of the Mu. tual Life Insurance company was con victed before Justice Bowling on the charge of perjury by a jury with a recommendation for mercy.
 Dr. Gillette is the first insurance off, cial connected with the "big three" to face a jury The verdict was sur prise to the counsel for the defense, who had moved to have the case dis missed.
 The main point that the argument was based on was that the rights of I the defendant had been violated. It was said that he had been compelled to give testimony against himself be- fore the grand jury and that at that 1 time he had not taken an oath, but had made an affirmation before giving his testimony. After considering the point Justice Bowling denied the motion yes terday. as.
 Was III Advised. | Dr. Gillette was tried on the charge of perjury in relation to testimony given before the grand jury to the ef- ! feet that he had not had on deposit in the DObbs Ferry bank certain sum which was known as the yellow dog" | fund. He later admitted that such deposit had been made, and when ask ed by the district attorneys office why he had at first denied the existence of the deposit he said that he had been ill advised
 Ex-Justicc Hatch, counsel for Dr Gillette. made brief address to the jury in opening the defense. saying that in view of the character of the evidence it was not necessary to go into details. A number of witnesses were called to testify to the good char acter of the defendant.
 EX-Assistant District Attorney Rand the special prosecutor, then started to sum up for the people. He said that the attorney for the defense in his ad dress to the jury had first said that his client had told nothing but the truth and that if he had told a false hood he had immediately retracted. He said that no sympathy or sorrow for the defendant should influence the jury in the verdict.
 Sent to Tombs.
 "No one is more sorry for him than I am," said MT. Rand, but his repu- tation and blameless life should have no influence here.'
 Mr. Rand then reviewed the evi- dence, which showed that the defend ant had first denied the existence of the $5,000 deposit in the Dobbs Ferry bank as special account of the Mu- tual Life and later admitted, under the questioning of the district attorney, that such fund existed.
 Ex-Justice Hatch asked for certif- cate of reasonable doubt and arrest of judgment.
 Justice Bowling said that he would hear the motion on Oct 2S The de fendant was then remanded to the Tombs. He has been under $10OO0 bail during the trial.

ESTIMATED AGE OF rHR gARrn.

Scientists Declare This World Mas
Existed 1OO,ooO,Oo0 Years.
The best geological estimates Of the
age Of our globe are In close agreement.
From the time when the record of the
stratihed rocks begin to the present
the figures are something over 1OO, OOO,.
600 years, says the Review of Reviews.
While some Of the estimates vary con-
siderably both above and below the
period mentioned, the general results
are not materially affected. A genera
ton ago calculations of the earth's
age were, for the most part, very much
less than one-half of the figure given.
Dana, for instance, computed the
length Of the paleozoic time at about
sc. 100000 years; Of mssozoic time,
100000 years, and Of cenozoic time.
100000 years, making in all 4s,000,-
600 years. Recently, however, there
has been found beneath the vast pale
ozoic sequence an assemblage Of rocks
Of enormous extent. All biologists are
now agreed In placing the time equiv
alent Of these pre- ambrian clastics as
equal, at least, to the entire time that
has elapsed since the beginning CT the
paleozoic era. Taking into considera-
ton this fact, even Dana's estimate Is
doubled and reaches very nearly the
100. 900, 900 mark.
| Biologists tell us that at the begin
ming Of Paleozoic time life In general
was already nine-tenths differentiated.
There must have been a period Of time
prior to this during which organic
forms nourished, and during which
sediments were laid down. that was
very. very long This early period, pos
sibly, was not ten times as long as
from Cambrian times to the present,
as the figures cited might suggest, but
It certainly was at least two or three
times as long. From all these differ
ent sources one can arrive at a COM
paratlve scheme. If we consider the
ratios, we get for Archeozoic time %,
for Proterozoic time 80. Paleozoic time
%, Mesozoic time 8, Cenozoic time 8,
and we obtain for the total number Of
years something like 150,O00,000.

Bonds and Mortgages, an eastern
financial journal, has this to say OF
Colorado. Unquestionably there is
great future for Colorado as an in
vsstment field. Colorado is an en-
pire of over 100000 square miles,
embracing limitless opportunities
and possessing inexhaustible resourc-
es. Her industries still in their ill.,
fancy-are as varied as can be found
anywhere. From q scenic and eli
matte view point, Colorado is second
to no other section of the globe. She
has been fittingly named the "Swit
zerland Of America"-only that there
are more rays Of sunshine, more min
eral springs with equal virtue in
medicinal properties, and thirty five
peaks on the Continental Divide
higher than the famous Mstterhorn
Of Switzerland. The past year has
totally eclipsed all previous years in
the naturalization Of values along
all lines Of industry in the state, but
more noticeable than any has been
the phenomenal development in agri-
culture. The state is producing in
agricultural products alone 20 per
cent more wealth than its entire min
sral output. In all departments Of
industry Colorado produces in the
aggregate and adds more to the
wealth of the world, according to
population, than any equal area on
the globe.
