ACE OF THE EARTH.

The question. how old is the earth
has occupied the human mind in diff
ferent ages and found various answers.
Some evolutionists need. IL seems. un-
told ages for the development of man
from the original cell to the first
human being. and then ages more
for the stage to which the human
family has now arrived. They speak
of S66.00o.000 OF years as n mere trinc In
the carth's history. But sober scient-
lists are forced to different conclusions.
They estimate that the radiation OF
heat from the sun at one time was so
great as to keep all the water on the
earth boiling. and II this is true, there
could be no animal life here then
Professor Newcomb, thinks that "the
balance of causes which would result
In the sun radiatlng heat just fast
enough to preserve the earth In its
present state has probably not existed
more than 100000 years" That is the
extreme limit of time, he thinks. that
we can suppose water to have existed
on the Garth in the fluid state.
Wallace, calculating the time neccs-
sary for the formation of the sedimen-
tary rocks. arrives at a somewhat diff
ferent conclusion. He says that at
present the whole land surface of the
Garth is lowered, by erosion. and the
sediment deposited along the shores OF
the continents at the rate of one foot
In 5000 years From this estimate he
arrives at the conclusion that it has
required 2S.OOo,OOO years to form the
sedimentary rocks. But this calcula-
tions seems 10 be extremely vague
George H. Darwin has made some
calculations based upon the nebular
hypothesis. He thinks that the earth,
at one time, revolved so rapidly thai
a day and night were only eight hours.
Instead of twenty-four, and that the
revolution has been retarded by the
tides. At that time the moon and
earth were so near together, he thinks,
that the tidal waves rolled over the
earth and produced conditions under
which life could not exist. Mr.. Darwin
believing that the moon is a chunk OF
matter cast off from the earth arrived
at the conclusion that this would not
Eave taken place less than fifty, nor
more than hundred million years ago
Within these figures. ten million and
hundred million years, as near az
can be estimated. the age of the earth
falls The lever estimates commend
themselves as the more probable, and
they point to the fact acknowledged BY
geologists that the earth has not been
suitable as a habitatlon for man for
very many thousands of years, al
though animal life antedates that of
man. The loose guesses that assign
hundreds of thousands of years for
mans existence on earth fall to taxi.

While P, T. Barnum, the great show
man, not only humbugged the Ameri-
can people, but also openly confessed it,
saying that they were fond OF being
humbugged, there was one American
citizen whom he was careful never to
humbug, and that one was Phineas
Taylor Barnum- Yet discreet and cum
almost invariably getting the best OF
every business deal in which he took
part, with the result that he accumu-
lated a fortune Of some four or five
millions of dollars, there was q time
when he all but humbugged himself
as completely as he ever did the Aneri-
can public.
The late John Platt, who in his day
was esteemed one of the ablest,
shrewdest and most honorable lawyer 8
practising before the New York bar,
was a sort of general counsel for MIR.
Barnum for years, with satisfactory
financial results to both parties con-
cerned.
One day Mr. Barnum, all excitement
and enthusiasm, bounded into Mt.
Platt's office. He pulled from a pocket
what looked like a legal paper and
waved it before the lawyer.
"Mr. Platt." he cried, i've hit upon
plan which will put stop to any
attempt to contest my will IN case any
one should be disposed to go to law

Whats the occasion for all this pre-
caution2" asked Mr.. Platt.

Now, when read OF that, I said to
myself. Nobody has ever accused you,
p. L. Barnum, of not knowing what

there is no telling what they may say
of you after you're dead. You'd better

the lawyer.

TRUTH SLOW. ERROR SWIFT.

Lies die hard. Some of them trave,
so fast that 1t takes truth centuries
to overtake them. Especially is this
the case when there are parties. re-
ligious or political, that are interested
In keeping truth tagging behind.
We are again reminded of this by a
statement in the New York Evening
Sun that, when, In 1856. a comet an
peared in the heavens the priests added
this prayer to the Ave Maria Lord
deliver us from the devil, the Turk and
the comet"
The comet referred to was Halley's.
which was caught sight of recently on
the plates of the giant telescope az
Flagstaff. Ariz, as little irregular
patch of light, perhaps quarter Of
an inch in length. with its brightness
rather irregularly distributed. The
comet as now seen, Is said to have q
distinct nucleus which Is out of .he
center, and makes a very striking oh.
ject.
The story that the pope, Calixtus III.
issued a bull against this wanderer In
space, has now done service at least
since 1892 when it was printed I'm a
scientific publication by Arago. who re-
lated that the pope was so frightened
by the comet that he ordered puhlic
prayers In all tho churches, and IT'S
daily accommodation together with
the Turks. How long before 1882 tho
story had circulated as an oral tradi-
ton is not known, but it must hays
been commonly accepted as true at that
time. Since Arago does not even deem
it necessary 10 quote any authority
for it.
And yet 1t has been denied repeatedly
Only a short time ago it was shown in
the Cosmos. in an article reproduced
by the Literary Digest, that no bull
of Calixtus III. contains any reference
to the comet of 1856 But, in spite of
the improbability of the legend and the
lack of evidence, and In spite OF re-
peated denials. 1t has been reproduced
in number of popular histories Of as
tronomy both in Europe and America.
and by newspapers without number
1t has been thought a capital proof
against the doctrine of the infalnbility
of the popes. and for that reason 1t has
been warmed over again and again and
served UP to the satisfaction OF the
credulous.
And that is just the case with the
many falsehoods about the Mormon"
Church, invented by anti-"Mormon"
politicians and circulated for political
purposes. They die hard. and travel
fast while they live. and il takes truth
a long time to overtake them.

the certificate. and I defy anybody to
break my will when certificate of
that kind is shown"
"Barnum," said Mr.. Platt, looking up
into the glowing countenance of his
client, 'on that statement I'd break the
will for $50"
"Eh, whati You would? How?"
stammered the nonplussed Snowman
Why" retorted Mr. Platt. all I'd
have to do would be to go into court
and show that you were SO doubtful of
your own mental competency to make a
will that you hired two doctors to tell
you exactly what you wanted to have
them tell you; and under these circum-
stances the certificate wouldn't be
worth the paper it Is written upon"
For several minutes Mr.. Barnum was
completely taken aback and said moth

CHANGES OF TIME.

The question as to whether the cli-
matte changes on the earth have under
gone any notable notifications In
historic times is negatively answered
by writer in the Paris Cosmos. In
Europe, for instance, he says, SEN
sitive lowering of the temperature and
decrease in the precipitation of rain
and snow would have caused we'll
marked and continuous recession of
glaciers, but no such recession is shown
by the records of more than 1000 years.
Helm has proved that, although the
glaciers OF the Alps receded during the
latter half of the nineteenth century,
they are now far more extensive than
they were in the middle ages.
Polybius, In the second century, B.
c., described the rich gold and silver
mines of the Tyrol. These mines yield
ed abundantly until the middle Of the
sixteenth century. after which date
their productlveness rapidly diminished
because the mouths of shafts became
covered with ice. A shaft sunk at this
epoch was covered In 1870 by glacier
sixty-five feet thick. Resistance to tho
invasion of the Ice soon became impos-
sible. In the eighteenth century the
glacier was more than 300 feet high.
and in 1875 1t had attained q height of
400 feet.
For many years it was asserted that
erly enjoyed mild climate. which fav-
ored the growth of vegetation and gave
rise to the name of Greenland, The his
torical researches Of Rink and Won
Maurer, however, have proved that the
decay OF the posts established by the
Norweglans in olden times was caused
by the introduction of a contagious
disease and by the adoption, by the
Norwegian government, of an unwise
economic policy, which provoked hos
tile attacks by the Eskimos. Equally
erroneous statements have been made
in regard to Iceland.
For all that there is little doubt that
the heat of the sun is gradually giving
may be- 1t is thought by some that
the contraction of the cooling globe Is
sufficient to keep it glowing But this
contraction does not amount to any
more than 220 feet in year, or a mile

Is so Insignificant as to cause no ap-
preciable change in historic times. STILL
