Games for Children.

A young mother said to me the 9th
er day: Your department is fine and
1 often find just what 1 want, but can
you help me out with new games for
the children?"
During vacation 1t seems that the
what:to-do question frequently comes
up for mother to s0lve. l hope the
following pastimes will prove interest
ing, and make loads of fun for the
youngsters. The first is called HUI
man Nine Pins. The boys are set up
just like nine pins at the end of the
room or on the lawn; they stand on
one foot Cleft one), with the right one
placed behind the left knee, arms fold
ed. The girls roll the ball, taking
turns. When the ball is rolled they
may hop aside to escape being
touched; but if the ball touches them
or they put down the other foot, they
are supposed to be knocked down and
out. This continues just like the real
game, score being kept and prizes
awarded.
Young children love this game:
Take barrel hoops and wind them with
gay ribbons or crepe paper, suspend
a small bell in the center Hang the
hoop up AMI give each guest a small
bean bag the same color as the hoop
The aim is to ring the bell when
thrown through the hoop. Five trials
are allowed. the one who rings the
most out of the five is given a re-
ward
A little game called Royalty" needs
an equal number of girls and boys.
One boy is chosen king and a girl
as queen Then they sit in two
rows facing each other. Each follow
er is numbered. At the same moment
the king and queen calls a number,
the two players bearing the numbers
get up and run around the circle, the
queen after the kings follower. If she
catches him before he completes the
circle he pays forfeit; if she does not
the kings subject collects q tribute
from her. When all the numbers have
been called the game is finished.

How Old Mother Earth Hides Her Age

e of the Earth" from a more philo-
sophical point of view
The age of the earth always has
been subject for discussion among
men of science and largely without
any definite agreement among the
representatives of the different
branches of studies on account of the
different points of attack.
Briefly, the more recent discussions
as to the earth's age have placed the
time as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1868, estimated the
earth's age at 20,OO0,OO0 to 10000, 900
and perhaps 9S,0O000O years
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1888, placed the age at 24,000,00O
years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures from 2000O,OOO to 4O.OOO.OOO
years.
De Lapparent, in 1890. said it was
67OO0,OOO to 90.OOO,0O0 years.
Charles D. WaIcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution, in 1898, placed
the maximum age at 100000 years.
]. Jolly, in 1899, estimated the age
of the ocean at SO,00OO 900 to 10000, 900
years.
w. j. Sollas, in 1909, placed the
age of the ocean at S0,000,000 to 150,-
