trail as high AS 1000 per cent, accord

his assistants, went so far as to sub
stitute bills of the Ostermann Manu-
featuring company, Of West Pullman,
for those of the Memphis concern and
to paste on the West Pullman bills the
20 K" of the Memphis inspector.
The average padding of bills, the wit
ness said, was between 40 and so per
cent.
Belmont was asked concerning the
transfer of the car inspectorship at
Memphis from one Crabtree to w. H.

company, according to the witness, de-
sired to be rid Of Crabtree because he

EARTH TRULY OLD.
Not Less Than 66. 900. 900 Years.
IL New Estimate.


Washington-Old Mother Earth, like
femininity through all time, but with
far greater success than most Of her
sex, has defied man to learn her age.
Scientists still admit their defeat.
Their latest estimate credits her with
mot above 10, 900. 600 years or below
So, 900, 900 years"
This estimate, to which official sane
ton is given through publication by
the Smithsonian Institution, is the re-
suit Of studies by Frank Wigglesworth
Clark and George F. Becker, of the
United States Geological Survey.
Professor Clark in a paper entitled
"A Preliminary Study of Chemical De
nudation," presents review Of avail
able data from q chemical point OF
view. Mr.. Becker discussed the quesr
tion in paper on 1.-THE Age Of the
Earth" from more philosophical point
Of view.
The age of the earth has always been
a 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 at
tack.
Briefly, the more recent discussion
as to the earth's age has placed time
as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1862, 20, 900, 900 to
400, 900, 900 years, with probable 98,-
900, 900 years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1893, "a, 900, 900 years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig
ures to 20, 900, 900 to 40, 900, 900 years.
Da Lapparent, in 1890, $1,000, 600
to 80, 900, 900 years.
Charles d. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution, in 1898, max
imum age 70, 900, 900 years.

Blaze At Planters Gin.

A fire alarm turned in about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon carried our tire crew on hurry-up run to the plant of the Planters Gin, near the Iron Mountain depot, where the lint in the press had become ignited from some unknown cause, perhaps match dropped in the seed cotton. The blaze was extinguished by the work ing force at the gin before the fire de- partment arrived on the scene, but for few moments grave fears were entertained for the safety of the plant. The damage resulting from the fire will perhaps not amount to more than S25 or S30.
