He is working at the problem all' the time, and from several .different angles the physical, the biological and the geological, for example. Eminent scientists for more than half a century have been working on the problem. To a layman It seems as If any calculation must be merely an Intelligent guess, Inasmuch as several' of the factors must necessarily be based on estimates. And, truth to tell, the scientists- calculations have differed so widely that the layman has had a large .variety In. the way of choices. For example, the man who preferred to think that the earth Is of comparatively recent formation' could tie up to Lord 'Kelvin, who In 1862 by the temperature method put Its minimum age at 20,000,000 years. The fan who warded an older earth could run with the biological calculators; Poulton in 1896 estimated the minimum age at 400 millions at years. And now comes Lord Rayleigh, the British scientist, with the announcement of a calculation which shows that the earth has been In approximately Its present state for two or three billion years. Lord Rayleigh bases his calculation on the rate by which radioactive substances decompose. Radium, uranium, ' thorium and other elements' are not stable, but after many years turn Into lead. By noting the amounts of lead present, and Its distribution with reference to the known deposits of radioactive minerals. Lord Rayleigh finds that their proportions must be the result of enormous periods of time. This calculation will please both the biologists and the geologists. The biologists say that in Cambrian times, the earliest age that geologists can of date with certainty, the plant and animal forms of today were present Cambrian times were about 60,000,000 years ago. Students of living things clearly see that the beginnings of life on this planet must have been much farther back than Cambrian times. Although formerly the geologists estimated the age of the earth at a maximum of 100,000,000 years only. It has been found that for various reasons this should bA multiplied ten or twenty times, so that from the geological point of view the age of two or three billion years Is reasonable. The Scientific American recently published an Interesting article on the age of the earth by H. V. Hllker, with the graphic chart herewith reproduced. In addition there Is an editorial comment as follows: Just as there Is no definite limit to human Ingenuity, so there Is none to the different ways In which the approximate age of the world may be estimated. Nor Is there any to the degree of divergence which may be found between estimates made, by two different scientists. In substantially the same way. The necessary assumptions are so broad, the uncertainty so great as to how much faster or slower physical processes may have run millions of years ago than now, that no calculation of the earths age can be more than an Intelligent guess. Indeed, many of the calculators emphasize this by giving upper and - three-quarte- rs . ' GR&pme CBXsrz&arT aczarzzFic'jarzRzaAxr lower limits, which are often very far came to the conclusion that superficial consolidation must have occurred not apart.

Curie and the subsequent work of Becquerel, Rutherford, Strutt and others In radioactivity threw a new light upon the working natural forces, This led to an attempt at calculating the age of certain rocks and minerals Some of the points made by Mr. Hllker within the understanding of the layman are as follows: When contemplating the earth In Its relation to time, we might consider its birth as coincident with the first accretion or of particles from the planeteslmal nebula. But this first nucleus was not a planet nor can It be considered as such .until all or nearly all of the nebulous material had concentrated into a single whole. (Saturn Is here excepted as an unusual condition.) During this process of accretion, an enormous amount of heat was generated by the gravlta tlonal pull on the outer surface which resulted In local liquefaction of the rock mass and Its consequent outIn the forin of vast lava flows. pouring ' Up to this time the earth was in the embryonic or formative state. Therefore, let us consider Its birth as the tlihe-a- t which these lava flows cooled to a sufficiently low temperature to allow the surrounding envelope of vapor to condense and fall upon the earth more or less as what we know as rain. The question of age then. In the sense we shall use It, may be approached from three distinct angles. The physical angle takes into consideration the rate of cooling. Internal heat due to pressure, tidal stability, and the disintegration of certain rockforming minerals. The biological angle 'has to do with the evolution of living forms, while geologically the evidence Is taken directly from the earth Itself Its structure, the stratification of the rocks, and the deposition of the sediments. In 1862 Lord Kelvin, applying Fourniers theory of thermal conductivity. or the treads on your tires are not Just simple vulcanized mixtures of rubber and sulphur.

Joly, taking s different rate of decay from uranium, changed this estimate to 241,000,000 yean. In the same way, Strutt found the age of Ceylon thorianite to. be 280.000.- 000 years and that of a Canadian sphene to be 710,000,000 yean. Over two hundred yean ago (In 1715), Edmund Halley pointed out that, assuming a primitive fresh water ocean, the amount of salt now contained would be an index to Its age, could sufficient data be had. As these data wen not obtainable until within the past few years, it remained for such men as Joly, Sollas, Clark and othen to attempt an answer. Joly In 1899 placed the oceans age at years. Becker, making certain corrections, In 1915 placed the age of the ocean and therefore of the earth at somewhere between 60,000,-00and 100,000,000 years. The time required to form a given thickness of rock depends largely upon the rate at which the sediment Is brought down by the streams. This rate Is by no means constant, but i determined by the character of ths country through which the varlout streams flow, but the slope of the land, by the annual rainfall, and numerous other factors. Data compiled by ths United States geological purvey for all rivers emptying Into the ocean glvs the total amount of material carried In solution annually as 2,735,000,000 tona By deducting from this the pen centage of the more soluble salts which are held In solution, .and co verting the remainder Into Its equiva lent volume of solid rock, John Philv lips In 1860 placed the age of ths earth somewhere between 38,000,000 and 96,000,000 years. 0 lot When asked about It he said) Well, Tm a regular scrapper whet with my own gang, but theres a boj visiting here and I dont know whethei I can lick him or not ; so I'm waiting till hes gone borne.
