resenting Miss Stansbury said they
might take aetlun this week to void
the waiver by which Miss Stansbury
for $1,000 signed away her rights to
the estate.
"A long, bitter and effective suit
will be made contesting the will, =
Hays said. Miss Wendell the last
direct descendant of John Gottlieb
Wendell, who founded the fortune as
a fur trader early in the city's his
tory, broke a family tradition by
willing most of the estate to charity
The attorneys clam Miss Stans-
bury came to New York and was in
duced to sign away her right with
out benefit of legal advice and un-
aware she was next of kin. The
amount of the estate, and the &C.
centricities of Miss Wendell, who
spent years in the Fifth Avenue
mansion without venturing forth,
were not explained to her, it was
contended.
Miss Stansbury received $1,000 for
signing the waiver and the promise
OF another $4,000 when the will was
probated successfully.

Science
Age Of Oceans Estimated
At I0O.OOO,O0O Years.

Father Neptune Is at least 100000, 900
years old.
This minimum estimate Of old man
oceans birthdays is reached by Prof
Adolph Knopf, chairman of the Ma
tional Research Council Committee on
the Age Of the Earth, from calculations
OF the amount OF salt In the seas and
the annual increase by drainage from
the continents.
The total salt content Is approxi-
mately $50 600, 900 900 ,00O, 900 tons. The
seas are growing saltier at the rate Of
about 2,735, 900 900 tons year. Iii the
beginning, it is assumed, ocean water
was very nearly saltless. The salt
content all has come from land erosion.
But Prof. Knopf finds, the Present
rate of disposition of salt In the world
ocean may be from fifteen to twenty
times greater than the average for all
history. In any event the seas are
growing Saltier tremendously raster
than they have for extended periods in
very complicated Another compllca-
ton arises from the fact that a small
amount of SALT in comparison with the
total, is being passed back and forth
between land and ocean in a contln-
uous cycle. This is known as "cyclic
sodium" which escaped from the ocean
in spray is blown far inland, and then
returned with drainage.
The present amount of salt in the
ocean, it Is calculated calls for the
decomposition of 84,3o0,0o0 cubic miles
of igneous rock. 7. r. H.

False and Malevolent
"The statement that 1 am a

Eagle Slain Fleeing
An ARM of CrOWs

ATLANTA, April 24.-Crows
proved the undoing of a huge
American eagle which was killed
on a farm near Adamsville when
it sought refuge in a tree.
The eagle, shot by D. w. de
Wore, was exhibited in Atlanta.
where it was brought for mount
ing. Its wing spread measured
seven feet and it weighed IL
pounds.
De Vore's attention was at
tracted by the behavior of a large
number of crows which had
forced the big bird to alight in a
tree. It apparently was far off
its course and appeared to be
nearly exhausted.
