ing his 81 years of sprightliness "old

course; it is merely preparation for

week and Washington forgot politics
momentarily to pay homeage to the
Danville sage.
Naturally obstinate, Uncle Joe re-
fuses to grow old. No man in pub
lie life probably has had more un-
kind things said about him, been
ridiculed more or held up more
often as a horrible example. He
has been in his day kind of uni

So much for the astronomical evil
dence of the great age of the earth.
Geology takes up the question where
astronomy leaves it. Astronomy
deals with the origin of the earth
and with the earlier stages in its
development as a globe before the
present crust had been formed.
Geology on the other hand, con-
fines itself mainly to the study of
that crust, or rock shell, on whose
surface we dwell. And here again
the evidence points to the lapse
of millions upon millions of years
since the rocks, as we see them,
were formed.
1t is a fortunate circumstance
that the outer shell of the earth
as it now exists consists of a series
of qualifications of rocks, varying
which were laid down successfully,
in the form of mud, sand, gravel
and and similar deposits, at the
bottom of ancient seas and lakes,
and which have been solidified into
rock by the effect of land-continued
pressure and slow physical and
chemical changes.
The story of how this was done
is one of the fascinating chapters
of geology. 1t is clear that, owing
to internal forces, and to the eff
fects of climate in wearing down the
face of the planet, the surface has
undergone many revolutions, and
over great areas of sea and land
have changed places many times.
Common sense, without any formal
scientific evidence, suffices to as
sure us that all this cannot have
been effected in a few thousand
years, for during all the human
history similar agencies, continual
ly at work on the, earth, have been
able to achieve but relatively insig-
nificant effects.
In the geologic revolutions of the
past stratified rocks thousands of
feet in thickness have been up
heaved and partially overturned, so
that we are able to measure the vast
depth of the deposits out of which
they wer eformed, and thus to get
data for estimating their age.
Now, in all of the various strata,
going back to the earliest, we find
the fossilized remains of animals
and plants, so that there can be
no doubt whatever that life began
on the earth at least tens of mil
lions of years ago.
However, we find no evidence of

Dodder, a slender orange colored
vine, grows freely in clover and al
falfa fields and on weeds along
the roadside and waste places. When
we'll started, the plant depends en-
tirely upon the host of support, be-
comes entirely parasitic, and dis
connects itself with soil. Moving
the crop of alfalfa or clover or
weeds before the dodder has be-
gun to ripen seed, usually proves
effective. If later growths come
on it should be treated in the same
way. In case seed has been pro-
duced, the material should be now
