GEOLOGIC PERIODS.

Stories of Time Told by Fossiiized
Plants and Animals.
Scientists hesitate to estimate geo
logical time in terms Of years. Such
estimates have, however, been made,
and one published By Professor Charles
Schuchert in 1910 states that about
100000 years have elapsed since the
close Of the carboniferous age, an age,
as the name suggests, in which great
deposits Of carbon, in coal, were being
formed In many parts Of the world.
This age has been divided by Seolo-
gists into the Mississippian, Pennsyl
yanian and Permian epochs. OF which
the Mississippian is the oldest and the
Permian the youngest. The Pennsyl-
yanian epoch alone IS estimated by
Schuchert to have covered 100000
years, and animal HE is supposed to
have existed on the earth for over a.
a00, 600 years before that time.
e Geologic periods are recognized pri-
marty by the animals and plants that
lived in them. so that the study OF
fossils plays very real and important
part in the progress Of geologic howl-
edge.
Rocks Of carboniferous age, as shown
by their fossils, have a wide distribu-
ton IN the United States, and they
are apt to abound in these remains OF
plant and animal life. The fossil shells
which are found in them, however.
may vary greatly from point to point,
because the animals they represent
sEYed in different periods Of geologic
time or in different regions In the car
boniferous ocean.-Argonaut-

what was meant by the expression:
'sthe woman had Greek profile"
The father put down the paper he was

Dother took a hand, declaring the
answer was too short and really a
shifty euphemism. "Giye our son a

just What It Is and the Methods by
Which Il Is Measured.

7JuSS sWhat II is ana the MethooS oy
Which II Is Measured.
To find the tonnage or displacement
Of ship is rather puzzling. The ton
mage of ship is the measure of its
cubical or carrying capacity expressed
IN tons. At the present time there are
four methods in use of expressing the
tonnage, of a ship. known respectively
as the gross tonnage the net register
tonnage. the deadweight tonnage and
the displacement tonnage.
In calculating the gross tonnage the
whole interior capacity of the ship be-
low the tonnage deck is found. includ-
ing that Of all covered in spaces on
deck used for stowage, and the result
in cubic feet is divided by 100.
The net register tonnage is the gross
tonnage minus all the spaces used for
the accommodation Of the crew and
instruments and the working parts Of
the ship. 1t is on the net register ton
mage that elmost invariably dues are
paid.
The deadweight tonnage is the meas
ure Of the exact amount Of cargo that
ship can carry without sinking too
deep in the water.
The displacement tonnage is the
space occupied by the ship in the wa
ter. The amount of water displaced
BY ship is, of course, equal in weight
to the ship and all it contains. AS
one ton IS equal to thirty-ive cubic
feet Of water, the displacement ton
mage IS found by dividing the number
Of cubic feet Of water displaced by
thirty-fve when the ship is Immersed
