Cannot Fix AGE o. World.

The aga Of the world implies fixing
the date Of the creation. and scientists
do not attempt to do that beyond say
ing that 1t must Be reckoned BY mil
lions of years. Many Bibles are print
ed with the year 1904 B. C. in the
margin Of the first chapter Of Genesis,
Indicating that - the date Of the
creation Of the world. Il II only with
In comparatively recent times that
science has demonstrated beyond
doubt that the world existed millions
Of years before the period formerly
assigned - the date Of the creation,
and that it, occupancy BY man covers
. period hundreds Of times a. long q
that formerly accepted - the age Of
the world itself. The prehistoric
period means the period antedating
written history. Human records b.
means q hieroglyphics which, - now
known. reach hack far beyond the
period formerly accepted - the date
Of the creation Of the world.

Leech Breeding.

Breeding Ieeches is the occupation of a class of people called "Chohra" in the United Provinces of India. In April or May selected leeches are put into earthen pots with "hair-cleaning clay" and a little water, and the pots are put out of reach of all disturb ances, for the leeches are very sen sititive when laying their cocoons. When these are formed, and have hardened, they are picked up and put into closed cups of clay, which are changed every alternate day for a fortnight. Then the breeders help the young leeches out by breaking the shells. Each cocoon contains five or six young ones. The young leeches are reared in fresh water, and the breeder gives them meals from his own body. Those that are sold for medical purposes are said to lose their power of breeding; so special "seed leeches" are put aside. The Chobra cleans a gorged leech by puncturfng 1t dorsally near the head and pressing the blood out from the tail forwards.

SEEK RICHES IN METEoRITE
English Expedition VIII Go to Break Up Big Stone Believed to Have
 Fallen From Moon.

An expedition is shortly starting from England for Disco island. of the coast of Greenland, with the object of breaking up and bringing away the big meteorite there
 It weighs over 100 tons, and the theory is that it was projected on to this earth from the moon countless years ago.
 Fragments of 1t have already been carried away and assayed, with the result that it has been found to con- tain iron. copper and silver, besides rarer metals, including polonium.
 Now polonium is a cousin of radium Hence the expedition The organi- gers of 1t argue that if they can only extract from the meteorite even a small fraction of an ounce of radium their fortunes are made.
 It Is quite possible. too, they say, that there may be large diamonds in- side the mass. Very small diamonds have undoubtedly been taken from the interiors of small meteorites.
 Then, too, there Is in existence a diamond of fair size taken from meteorite near Tucson, Ariz.
