Following the De Lapparent theory
of determining the age of the earth
through n study of the maximum thick
ness of sedimentary rocks and the time
rate Of their disposition, Secretary Wal
colt, Of the Smithsonian Institute, has
estimated the age of the earth to be
about 100000 years. The investi-
cations were commenced by WalcOtt in
1894. Ills estimate for the lapse of
time since the base of the Cambrian is
p, $40, 600 years and he allows for the
Algonkian a period Of II, 800, 900 years,
With allowances for the imperfection
of the data obtainable he places the
maximum age of the earth at 10000
600 years. The estimate Of De Lap
parent made in 1890 was from 81 to
80 million years.
