ESTIMATING AGE OF Earth
Biologists Have Differed Greatly as
to the Time It 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. 900, 900 and
80, 100000 years. This was probably
the only estimate prior 20 Kelvin's
epochmakihg paper OF 1852. Since
that time many estimates nave Deen
made, varying allthe way from 10000
900 years to 4OO 10000, 900 years. Kelvin
was the first to discuss the age'o the
earth considered as a cooling body.
In 1898 Clarence King introduced the
important criterion of tidal stability
and reached the conclusion that a..
100000 represented the conditions.
This result was adopted by Kelvin in
1897, and then he placed the limits as
10000 900 and 100000 years. Only
Sir George Darwin has discussed the
age Of the earth from a purely astro-
nomieal point of view. From his theory
of the earth-moon system he derived
an estimate of more than Sc, 600, 900
years, which for a long time stood be-
tween groups of higher and lower fig
ures. ]. Jolly 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
derived at a constant rate from that
Of the rocks, he arrived at an age Of
100000 or sO,OOO,O 900 years, and in
creased this by 10000, 900 in 1900. In
1909 Mr.. Sollas made a searching in
quiry into this subject and placed the
age of the ocean at between so, 1000, 900
and $50, 900, 900 years.

Ate Meat at Deaths Door.

Ruskin, when at deaths door, en-.
joyed food well-nigh indigestible. Dur
ing a visit to Matlock in 1871 he was
seized with an attack OF internal in
fiammation, which nearly carried him
on. Mrs. Arthur Severn, who nursed
him, records that at the crisis Of his
illness, he hungered-to our horror
for a slice Of cold roast beef. It was
late at night, there was none in the
hotel, and Albert Goodwin went Oh
to get some, anywhere he could.
AT last, at an eating house in Mat
lock Bath, he discovered some, and
came back triumphant with It, wrapped
in paper. Mr.. Ruskin enjoyed his late
supper thoroughly, Though we anx.

HAS EARNED ITS POPULARITY
Turkey Welcomed In Every Country
Where the People Appreciate
Good Things to Eat.

In every corner Of the globe almost,
at least where civilization has spread
its epicurean tastes, may be found the
domesticated turkey-not, however, Of
his own volition. Never would he, in
his wild state, have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and pastures new.
He is not so constructed. He is not
bold or adventurous Of disposition.
On the contrary, he is tlmid and much
afraid of things he does not under
stand, and when undisturbed is prone
to let well enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as a tiier the turkey is not
a pronounced uccess He flies pom
%derously, almost painfully, and with
great effort and only when much
frightened His flight can be sus-
tanned for only a short distance, but
what the wild turkey lacks as an avi-
ator he fully makes up as a sprinter.
He can outrun a race horse, espe-
cially in his own native forest, where
underground ard bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even If he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand of
man, first to Spain, then to other Medi-
terranean countries, to northern Eu-
rope, to the far East. until now he is
welLnigh omnipresent. And this
spreading out Of his kind even unto
the ends Of the earth is all due to the
enhancing qualities his meat takes on
when properly baked or roasted.
