 At the recent meeting in Philodei. phia of tho Geological Society or America. ono of the distinguised men of the United States geological survey read a paper In which he gave as his opinion that the age of the earth IS about l00.0O0,OO years. It is believed by some men that the first man ap' peared iu thpt early land around Lake Superior and that the Indian is ae' scended from that man. However there are SO many expert opinions as to Che origin of the Indian that tnerei Is probably room for few more.
