Figures Compllsd by Otologist Are Certainly Interesting Though Per haps a Llttls Startling, A geologist describes by means of graphic chart the comparative lengths of the different periods of the age of the earth. He places the age of the earth arbitrarily at 72.ouo,MK years, represented by clock dlul of 24 hours H.OUO.iMK) years to each hour. On the above bsuls the first six hours of the clock represent Azoic time, the earliest conjectural period of the earth's formation IH.imo.w' years; the next six hours Kor.olc and the next eight Paleozoic time 18,000, 000 and 24,000,000 years, respectively periods of mineral snd vegetable formations. In the next three hours animal life1 developed Meso.olc time, 9,000,000 years that Is. from the twentieth to the twenty-third hour. Thus the last hour of the 24 8,000,000 yeors of geologic time represents Neozoic time, which Includes the ap pearance of human life In the Quater nary period. This iHMt division of the 24 hours, the Quaternary period, Is shown as only ten minute In other words 800,. 000 years. The. existence of human life on the earth, therefore, bears the same relation to the sge of the earth its ten . minutes does to twenty-four hours. But since the period of writ ten history Is estimated roughly at only U.iwo years, this last division Is not shown on the chart, since It would only be 12 seconds In duration. Scientific American.

Charles Dickens, In "Little Dor rlt" POPULAR SPORT IN PANAMA Bad Luck . to Owe Money. The halibut fishermen of the Pacific nave a reputation for honesty. They invariably pn.v all their bills before stnrtlng on a fiihliin expedition. They reenrd It as bad luck to Ipsvp any un- ould accounts behind. Tiiee men do not work for wages.

Duel to the Death Between Bull and Jaguar Is Considered Height of Entertainment. , The Panamanlac who Is a real sport delights In nothing so much as a fight between a Jaguar and a bull. One must visit the Isthmus to see this particular kind of sport. An enormous cage, strongly built of scantlings and Iron burs, la placed In the center of the ring ordinarily used for bull fights. A bull Is placed In side of It and presently one of the huge South American caU Is wheeled up In a smaller cage and Introduced Into the barred Inclosure. The latter Is about ten feet high, with twice that length and breadth. In the fight which then ensues the hull Is victorious usuully. Not more than once In ten such contests does the Jnguur prove the victor. This would not lie the ruse If the animals were not restricted to so narrow a space: but the big cat, being obliged to rely mainly upon Its activity, does inn have n fair chance. Nevertheless, the duel greatly de lights the spectators. The fair I'uou- nlcurcH shriek with excitement, and the little 1'iuiuiiuinlklus rend the air with yells. Mark ef Bondage.

Fish Thrive Under Water. Water never gets colder than about 39 degrees. So no matter how thick the day, and no mutter how thick the Ice upon the stream or lake, the nshes are enjoying a temperature of about HI) degrees, and they move ahouVjn the water and gather supplies very well at that temperature. Through the clear Ice one may Bee fish with their backs agulnst It, where the tern- iieriiiuie must he 32 deirrees, and If you Htrlke the he above them light ly they durt away with pretty good speed. If you will strike the Ice Int- niMllntely above them with the back of an nx, or a sledge hammer, you will kill the fish. The concussion does the business and the fish will turu up Its white belly upward, al ways. It Is a common enough thing In some regions for the boys to kill the fish through , the Ice, and then to cut a hole and get them out.

"Kuhy" Is thought to have been so- called from "ruber," the Latin for "red." hut It may be that the word "ruber," meaning red, was derived from the name of the ruby. Lovemaklng and Marriage. Loveiuuklug stretches over ten or fifteen years of our lives, and after that Is nothing but a bud habit. As a rule the love emotion is canonized by marriage, and that is why I am for marriage every time and for every' body, faithfully believing that a bad marriage Is better than none.

The various hurricanes are named after saints of the church, and birth dates, marriage dates and death dates are. reckoned from them. Revolving Door Etiquette. The etiquette of the revolving door has yet to be standardized. At pres ent there are two schools of opinion on the subject. One holds that when a man and a woman approach a re volving door It Is the man's place to go first, pushing the door slowly so us to allow his partner to follow In the uext compartment without any ef fort on her part. The other contends that ludles first still holds sway. It Is good manners, these theorists say, for the man to step aside, let the woman start the door revolving, and then jump Into the compartment behind her. In this way, It is contended, the man muy assume control of the door and guide It until the woman ahead of him Is safely out. The bitterest rivalry prevails between the two schools. Argonaut.
