AGE OF THE EARTH.
Different Sy.te.ns of Computing It an.
 NarUtnn EirnrAe

Different cy.te.ns of Computing 1t and
 Tk-ir Varying Figures.
 As long ;i.rD as 1860 John Phillips, the gcologi't. estimated that the time required for the deposition of the stratiiied rocks lay between 3S,OO0,OOO and 96.000.O00 years. This was prob ably the only estimate prior to Kel wins epoch making paper of 1862. Since that time Elany estimates have been made. varying all the way from 100000 years to 40O.000.O0O years. Kelvin was the first to discuss the age of the earth considered as q cool ing body. In 1893 Clarence King in troduc6d the important criterion of tidal stability and rearhed the conclu- sion that 24.000O00 represented the conditions. This result was adopted by Kelvin in 1897. and then he placed the limits as 20.000.C)0 and 4O.O0O.OO years.
 Only Sir George Darwin has discuss ed the age of the eayth from a purely astronomical point Ue view. From his theory of the earth moon system he derived an estimate of more than 5G,- 100000 years. which for 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 constant rate from that of the rocks, he arrived at an age of SO,- 100000 or 9O.OO0.OO0 years and increas: ed this by 10.OOO.OO0 in 1900. In 1909 Mir. Sollas made a searching inquiry into this subject and placed the age of the ocean at between SO.OOO,OO0 and f5O.OOO.O00 years.

The Sense of Taste.

Scientists say that the flavor of food and drink does not come to us through the sense of taste. The latter can only furnish sensations corresponding to the chemical composition of substances taken into the mouth. Although al- most infinite in their variations, these sensations are few in number, compris- ing sweetness. bitterness, saltiness and sourness, with their numerous degrees of intensity.
 The distinctive fiavOrs of food do not come from chemical action and are therefore not perceived by the sense of taste. bur by the olfactory nerve by which the sensation is transmitted to the brain.
 This explains why ones food does not taste right when he Is suffering from cold.

The Eas%est Swimmers.

Few people have any idea of the rapid pace attained by some fish. The dolphin and porpoise are perhaps the swiftest of all. The latter fish has been seen to dart round and round a steamer proceeding at between seven teen and eighteen miles an hour. Prob ably a bonito Ia fish of the mackerel family at its best could move for some distance at forty miles an hour. Salm- on, too, and trout swim very fast, particularly when accomplishing their annual spa wning migration upstream. Herrings in shoals move at steady ten or twelve miles, but mackerel much faster. Whales, though not fish, can swim at great speed. When excited they will dash along at as much as sev- enteen miles an hour, but ordinarily
 four or five miles an hour is their speed. Seals, again, are much more speedy, and certain eastern water snakes glide along at terrific velocities.

ELLINGTON. Crystal Lake.

Two carpenters who live in Rockville, were injured in an accident at the lake yesterday, when a staging on which they were working fell. The men are Fred V. Wendhiser and Thomas Martley, who are employed by F. w. Stengel of Rock vile. The men were at work on the pa- vilion being erected for Conrad Rau, when the staging gave way, precipitating them to the ground, distance of twenty five or thirty feet. Martley seemed the worse injured of the two. He was taken to his home. It was thought at first that he had broken leg, but this proved not to be the case. It is feared that he has internal injuries. Mir. Wendhiser was able to take the interurban car and return to his home. He is bruised about the head and one hand is split.
