New York, June 29.-The war de- partment. it was learned last night, has been able to obtain for immedi- ate delivery, thru the courtesy of the British government, 250 Lewis machine guns made by the Driggs- Seabury Ordnance Company for use in Europe At the same time, be- cause cartridges of the kind hither- to used by the United States troops are not suitable for the Lewis gun, the war department has ordered $ million cartridges from the United States Cartridge Company. The am-- intuition also was being manufac- tured on the British specifications for shipment to the British forces
 The Lewis machine gun was in- vented by Col Aaron Lewis, a re- tired American army officer He first offered it to the war depart ment and after tests were held it was rejected because of some minor defects. Colonel Lewis readily re- medied the defects, but he was un- able to gain a further hearing at the war department. He then went to Europe.

ESTIMATING AGE OF EARTH
Biologists Have Differed Greatly a.
to the Time II Has Been IN
Existence.

AS long ago as 1860 John Phillips
the geologist. estimated that the time
required for the deposition of the stra-
titled rocks lay between IS. 10000 and
s6.OO0.O00 years This was probably
the only estimate prior to Kelvins
epoch making paper of 1862. Since
that time many estimates have been
made. varying all the way from IL .0O0.-
0oo years to 4OU. oOO.000 years Kelvin
wasstne first to discuss the age of the
earth considered as a cooling body.
In 1893 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion Of tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that "a.
UV0.O0V represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin In
1891. and then ne placed the limits as
z0.00o.0OO and 40.O00.000 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age OF the eartn from a purely astro-
nomical point OF view. From his theory
OF the earth-moon system he derived
an estimate Of more than $4,000. 900

DISEASE H|TS,P|NE
Blister Rust Threatens Big
Economic Loss.
Recent Outbreaks In Eastern States
Lead Federal Authorities to Issue
warnino-comes in on I'm
ported Stock.

Washington. d. C.-The alarming
character of the white pine blister
rust and the economic loss which It
threatens in the northeastern and
western United States are sharply en-
phasized by four recent serious out
breaks on pine trees and currant
bushes In Massachusetts, and New
York. says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. This disease
was introduced ON imported white
pine nursery stock and FIRST appeared
at Geneva, N. Y. In 1906.
In 1909 extensive importations Of
diseased white pine nursery stock
were located and destroyed in New
York and other eastern states. and
warnings were issued broadcast
against further importation Of, whits
pine from Europe. In spite Of these
warnings importation continued even
from the particular nursery In Ger
many which was definitely known to
be the main source Of disease. until
finally in 1912 all such importation
was stopped by federal action.
The white pine blister rust Affects
the eastern white pine, the western
white pine. the sugar pine and indeed
all of the so-called fve-leaf pines. pro-
ducing cankers on the stems and
branches. killing young trees and
manning and disnguring old ones. IL
also produces q leaf disease Of cur.
rant and gooseberry bushes. The fun
gus causing the disease must live for
part Of its life on pine trees and
part Of its life on currants and goose
berries. The disease cannot spread
from one pine tree to another. but
must pass first to currant bushes and
then back to pine.
In Europe the disease has made the
culture Of American white pine i'm
practicable in England. Denmark and
Holland. and has seriously handt
capped tts cultivation in odtmany.
Since the trees which II attacks IN
