Tell the Age of Oceans

WashIngton.-How old is the ocennf
Standing on the shore and looking out
over the expanse of water, the ocean
seems n fixed and eternal fact. but
the seas had beginning and will have
an end. Scientists say that when this
time comes the Inst drop of wnter will
have been absorbed into the earth's
crust, Its surface will be desert and
all life will become extinct.
The age Of the oceans have been
estimated by leading authority, Pro
fessor Frank Clarke of the United
States Geological survey, at about 3d.
100000 years. This. Of course. Is only
an approximation, but Is based on
carefully studied scientific data.
All the water was once contained
in the vapor that surrounded the glow
ing, slowly cooling mass which is now
the earth. After the gases combined
to form water the process Of making
the ocean salt began. This was the

where for years he had been so well

His fate is now brought afresh to
public notice by an action against

London-FrOm a position of affiu-

which won him n seat in parliament
and knighthood, Sir Luke White is
ending his days as the inmate of a
wOrkhOuse inflrmary in Driffield. Clev-
er enough to rise from poverty to a
noted career, injudicious Investments
brought him low and at the height of
his political power lie was forced to
confess himself bankrupt. He carried
down with him numerous trusting con-
stituents, and his liabilities of $135,4
600 included $4,000 in loans from
poor people who had confided their all
to him. The shame of having thus
wrecked the savings of those who be-
lieyed in him completely unnerved
him. Now he is dependent on public
charity, his spirit utterly crushed, and
he is one of the most pitiful figures in
the north of England.
Began as Office Boy.
Born In Deighton, near York, in
1S45, he was an office boy at fifteen
for solicitor, who paid him about 80
cents week. After eight years in
that service, of course with increasing
Income, he became managing clerk for
another solicitor in Driffield. In an
other six years he was admitted to
the bar as solicitor, and in the same
year he succeeded to the practice of
his employer. who had died.
He speedily became known as
local preacher and speaker for a large
district, and he was highly popular
and successful. For years he was
chairman Of the local board, and then
Of the urban district council. Then he
went to the East Riding county coun-
ell. In 1895 he was appointed one of
the cO:oners for East Riding. He act
ed as election agent for Sir Angus
Holden. Liberal member of parlia-
ment for the BuckrOse division, and
when Sir Angus died in 1900 White
was chosen as his successor. In 1908
he was knighted.

New Haven, Dec. 22.--Yale's foot ball schedule for 1920 will be almost as revolutionary as the reorganization of the graduate football committee which has just been named by Cap tain Tim Callahan. Four new elevens, all of the highest calibre and inter- collegiate rating, are to be given a place. They are West Point, Colgate, Lafayette. and the University of West Virginia. It is understood that La fayette has accepted, while the ac- ceptancc of West Virginia for a game October 23 has already been received. Yale has not met Lafayette in couple of decades, and has never played the doughty West Virginia team.
 The decision regarding a game with West Point rests with the war de- partment, but the decision of Secre- tary Daniels to allow the Navy team to go to Princeton is regarded at Yale as a good omen. Colgate men have talked unoffic:ally as if they were pleased that the Ellis went after another match with them. Yale sent them a challenge for the past fall, but the Colgate schedule had been filled and the invitation to come to the Bowl was declined.

The local athlete is captain of the basketball team that has just opened it's season but because of in turies sustained in a football game he will be unable to act.
