Ab long ago as 1800 John Phillips. "J geologist, estimated that tho time sayi equired lor the deposition of the stra "arc Iflod rocks lay between 38,000,000 and Oth b,000,000 years. This was probably tray tie only estimate prior to Kelvin's tho poch-making paper of 1862. gince yoai liat time many estimates have, oeen is r< lade. varying all the way from lfrjOOO,- styl 00 years to 400;000t000 years. I^llvin "1 ras the first to discuss tffe age #4 the recc arth. considered as a doollhg^lody. the 1 1.893 Clarence Klnjjr introduced the Par aportant; criterion of tidal stability sma nd reached the conclusion that 24.- past 00,000 re presented the conditions, the 'his result was adopted by Kelvin in evil 897, and then he placed the limits as face 0,000,000 and 40,000,000 years. Only vigi Ir George Darwin has discussed the a m go of the earth from a purely astro- of 8 omical point of view. From his theory fror f the earth-moon system he derived a wi n estimate of more than 56,000,000 way ears, which for a long time stood be- niar ween groups of higher and lower fig- into res. J. Joly was the first to base Par stimates of the age of the earth, in the] 899, on the sodium contained in the the cean. Adopting the hypothesis that flan lie sodium content of the ocean is a ta erived at a constant rate from that mor f the rocks, he arrived at an ago of alor 0,000.000 or 90,000,000 years, and in- 6Qti reused this by 10,000,000 in 1900. In 909 Mr. Sollas made a searching in- A uiry into this subject and placed the T ge of the ocean at between 80,000,000 t>eel nd 150,000,000 years. flne orai IAS EARNED ITS POPULARITY ??ri Ann "urkey Welcomed in Every Country to C Where the People Appreciate the Good Things to Eat. nos< In every corner of the globe almost, er r t least where civilization has spread the s epicurean taBtes. may be found the say omesticated turkey?not, however, of way is own volition. Never would he, in in ( is wild state, have sought to cross bet' lie stormy seas to find green fields j Pnp nd pastures new. | the Ho is not so constructed.
