DUBIOUS GLORY OF QUAKER
Hands Out More Money for FOreiWgs
Titles in Ten Years Than Any
other City.

New York, Chicago, Washington and per-
haps half a dozen other great American
municipalities within the last ten years have
all handed over number of their fairest
and wealthiest young women to become
the mates of foreign noblemen, but, If the
distinction may be regarded as an honor,
the banner for the greatest number of
titles captured, and the largest amount OF
gold sent away should, beyond doubt. be
delivered TO Philadelphia.
In about five years, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, the Quaker City has witnessed
the sailing away OF five of the most charm
ing members of her social family, and has
found her foreign connections augmented
by two French counts, a Spanish count a
French baron, an English viscount and a
British minister. The aggregate sum of the
dowries Of these young women and the vast
fortunes they will each inherit reaches vel
into the billions Their beauty in every
case was the cause of much comment in
the social world for months before the mar
riages. The grace and case with which
they have adapted themselves 10 their un
accustomed surroundings has been mucf
| talked of since.

Some Things You Want to Know
The British Crisis Sport and Sportsmen

clubs Of the major leagues are known all
over America. There is no position within
the reach OF an American sportsman which
carries with 1t even q hint OF the honor
attaching to the office of master of a fam
Gus county hunt. The English hunters, men
and women, are hard-riding, sturdy, out-of-
door athletes who represent in themselves
all that is cleanest and best in the con-
Ventlonal notions of British sportsmanship.
1t is in the realm of sport that the Eng
hshman demonstrates his traditional love
of fair play. English crowds do not cry out
for the umplres blood when he gives
close decision against the home team, nor
do they accept in approving silence a pal
pably rank decision when 1t is to their ad-
vantage. II base ball umpire in America

much leeway as is the umpire OF an Eng
fish cricket match, there would be riot with
every game. But the law-abiding Brlton
accepts without dissent the judgment OF the
official.
One reason for this difference may be the
fact that cricket is nothing like as swift a,
game as base ball, and 1t does not so power

QUESTION OF EARTH'S ACE
Scientists Have Long Discussed This
Mooted Problem.
WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
All Agree, However, that the Age
Runs Well UP Into the Millions
of Years.

The age of the earth has always been a
subject for discussion among men of science
and largely without any definite agree
ment among the representatives of the diff
ferent branches Of studies on account Of
the different points of attack
To briefly refer to some of the more re-
cent discussions on the topic 1t may be
said that Lord Kelvin in 1862 first discussed
the age of the earth as a cooling body
His results were fer some years received
with sorrow and indignation by most geolo-
gists and especially by evolution!sts, who
then desired unlimited time in which to eff
feet the development Of species. More
mature study has convinced the scientific
world that there is no necessary discrep-
ancy between Kelvip's 100000 to 400,OOo,O 900
years, with a probable 9S,O0o000 and the
conclusions Of biologists or paleontologlsts
In 1893 Clarence King, with the aid Of
Carl Barus introduced the important crit
erion of tidal stability and reached the con-
clusion that 24.OOOOOO years best repre-
scented the conditions. This result was ac-
cepte6 by Kelvin In 1897, and he then
placed the limits at 20,00OO0O and 1000 600
years. The earths considered had uniform
initial temperatures. In 1908 George f..
Becker showed that such a distribution Of
Temperature necessarily involved pro-
longea pe@lod OF tidal instability and dis
cussed a ktabe, The initial temperature Of

distance II the surface.
During the last twenty years much energy
has been expended upon the study Of the
maximum thickness OF sedlmentary rocks
and the time rate of their disposition. In
1890 de Lapparent thus estimated a period
of from G7,OOO,OOO to 9O,O0O.OOJ Ct years. A
most careful investigation of this kind was
made by Charles ID. Walcott, the present
secretary of the Smithsonian institution,
who, in 1891 carried out minute and cauti-
GUS studies of the rate OF disposition and
of the amount of accumulation both me
chanical and chemical. His estimate for
the lapse of time since the base OF the
| CambrIan is 27,G4O,OOO years, and he allows
/ years. Naturally, this figure is based on
extremely imperfect data and should prop
/ ably be Increased. According TO Mr.. Wal
colt, therefore, the maximum age would be
about 100000 years.
Nearly 200 years ago Edmund HALEY tht
great astronomer, devised a method OF de
terminng the age Of the ocean from III,
amount OF salt which it contains. He rec
ognized that the means he proposed for do
termining the annual increment Of sal
were imlracticable and. writing kong be
guessed that analysis Of river waters woul,
become so simple a matter.
More recently this point OF attack ha
Omaha daily bee., 1910-07-31

been taken up by certain English scien-
lists, notably, ]. Jolly who, in 1899 gave the
age as between 80, 000,O 900 and $1,000 900 years.
In 1909, w. ]. Sollss, who made a most
searching inquiry into the subject, placed
the age Of the ocean between so, 900 and
100000 years.
In our own country Frank Wigglesworth
Clarke and George F. Becker of the United
States geographical survey have followed
the subject with considerable interest, and
under the title of "A Preliminary Study
OF Chemical Denudatlon," recently issued
as paper 1895 OF the Smithsonian publi-
cations, Prof Clarke presents in admirable
form a review of all the available data,
not only for the United States, but for
the world. Of the proposition from the
chemical point Of view, while on the other
hand, Mr. Becker in paper 1895 discusses
THE Age of the Earth" from a more
philosophical point of view, resulting in
the opinion that the data available seemed
to indicate not above 100000 or below
55,OO0,O0O years.
BY publishing these papers the Smith
sonian institution has contributed much
valuable information to these most inter
estng discussions, which will doubtless
continue for many years to occupy the at
tention of scientists.
