AGE OF THE EARTH.
Different Systems of Computing II and
Their VARYING Figures.

Their Varying Figures.
AS long ago as 1860 John Phillips.
the geologist. estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the
stratified rocks lay between 3S,000,000
and 96000,000 years. This was prob
ably the only estimate prior to Kel-
wins epoch making paper of 1862.
Since that time many estimates have
been made, varying all the way from
100000 years to 400O00,000 years.
Kelvin was the first to discuss the
age of the earth considered as cool
ing body In 1893 Clarence King in
troduced the important criterion Of
tidal stability and reached the conclu-
sion that 24,000,000 represented the
conditions This result was adopted
by Kelvin in 1897, and then he placed
the limits as 20,000,000 and 100000
years.
Only Sir George Darwin has discuss
ed the age of the earth from a purely
astronomical point of view. From his
theory of the earth moon system he
derived an estimate of more than So
100000 years, which for a long time
stood between groups Of higher and
lower figures. J. Joley was the first to
base estimates of the age of the earth
in 1899 on the sodium contained in the
ocean Adopting the hypothesis that
the sodium content of the ocean is de
rived at a constant rate from that OF
the rocks. he arrived at an age Of So
100000 or 90OO0,000 years and increas-
eel this by lUO0O.OO0 in 1900 In 1909
Mr. Solas made searching inquiry
into this subject and placed the age OF
the ocean at between SO.0OO.OOO and
150.000000 years.

we found one Of our companions with

The cause of the ARRAY was this:
Several horsemen who were conveying

and then started 10 assault, when a
Persian Of our company interfered.
One of the horsemen became so enrag-

the Jews. He afterward declared that
he had intended to brighten one Of the
Jews by shooting through his cap, but
he missed his aim and hit the Per

HARSH FEELINGS
AGAINST AMERICA
BY Pac. and Int'l News Service.

BERLIN, Dec. 20.-Rioting has been
going on in Austria in the form of
demonstrations against Americans for
the last two days. Several demonstra-
tons have been held in the streets of
Vienna but the officials have been try
Ing to curb them. The people seem to
think that America has been unfair
with them and that the United States
is trying to provoke a war with them.
II Is thought that no harm has been
done to American residents in Austria
out In case relations are severed, 1t
might be necessary for Americans to
leave that country.

on domestic science.
AS the Club year is drawing to
a close, each succeeding meeting
seems to be receiving more at
tention; and the old adage, Tie

is not only true of the sterner
sex, there were many smiling
faces at the close of the after
noon due to the fact. that the
ladies were allowed to partake
of the good things prepared by
Miss Wilson in her demonstra-
tions in domestic art.
Mrs Kelsey launched the do
mestic science program by giving
a number of very unique recipes,
and advice on the management
of some of the household affairs.
Mrs. Byrd read a paper describ-
ing the coffee tree, and the
modes of preparing this favorite
beverage, proving later that she
was an expert in the art of cof-
fee making.
The club was most pleasantly
entertained in a musical way. by |
Mrs. Fare and Mrs. Sutton, !
with both vocal and instrument

To the Housewife.

Madam. if your husband is like
most men he expects you to look
after the health of yourself and
children. Coughs and colds are
the most common of the minor
ailments and are most likely to
lead to serious disease. A child
is much more likely TO contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when
it has a cold. IL you will inquire
into the merits Of the various
remedies that are recommended
for coughs and colds, you will
find that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy stands high in the esti-
nation of people who use it. 1t
is prompt and efectual, pleasant
and safe to take, which are
qualities especially to be desired
when a medicine is intended for
children. For sale by all dealers.
