The earth's age, like that of the pro verbial spinster, must, I suppose, be deemed uncertain, or at least (as in the case of the census paper) we must allow a fair margin for probabilities. The geolo gists on the one hand are supposed to make very big drafts indeed on the bank over which Father Time presides; while the physicists on the other hand insist on more moderate demands being formu lated. The latest explorer in this field of inquiry is Mr. Clarence King, a well known American geologist, who seems to lean to the side of the physicists in this matter. Of course everybody starts with the earth as a gaseous mass and every body gets to the earth as a cooling globe, which is certain in time to become a burnt out cinder like the moon. From researches on the effects of heat and pressure as applied to a cooling orb, Mr. King concludes that Lord Kelvin's estimate of the earth's age is very near, the mark. According to Mr. King the age of Our world is to be set down as not exceeding some 24,000,000 years, which, I venture to say, is so entirely unthinka ble a number that nobody may feel in tellectually perturbed if a few millions' more be added or a few millions be sub tracted from the amount.

TERRIBLE ADULTERATION. :' Gorgeous Moving Vans. - One sees a good many big vans. on the streets the vans that in the last few years have almost entirely replaced trucks and express wagons and taken the sting from the 1st of May. These monster vehicles are lined with padding and are attended by ex pert workmen, so that it is no longer true that three removals are as bad as a fire. A curious thing about these vans is that they nave recently burst out into the most florid illustration. In Brooklyn the pictures are more numerous and conspicuous than they are in New York. They cover the whole side of the van and are often well painted. The subjects are usually patriotic, and it is difficult to see the relation between moving and "Farragut Passing 1 the Forts," "The Surrender of Lee,"."The Surrender of Corn wallis," "Washington at Mount Vernon," "The Monitor and Merrimac" and .-"The Departure of a Colored Regiment." New York Sun. , The Panama Silk Tree. '.' ' ' One of the greatest curiosities of the Pan ama isthmus is the vegetable silk tree. It is a plant that grows from 15 to SO feet high, and in appearance does not differ greatly from other trees, but the inner bark is a perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and strong. The natives separated it by some method best known to themselves, the proo-. ess somewhat resembling that of beating flax. When once it is separated and spun into threads, it can be woven into a fabric so closely resembling silk that it is 'dim cult for any one not familiar with it to dis tinguish between the two. This species of silk goods is in high favor on the isthmus, and a Colombian belle Is never happier than when she is arrayed in a gayly colored dress made from the trees in her father's yard. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. temples of Various Kinds of Coffee That t Were Not For Sale. ; "While there is more or less swindling in all sorts of foods and drinks nowadays," said a traveling man in the reading room of a Detroit hotel the other evening, "the way in which coffee drinkers are cheated is noth' ing short of bold faced robbery. How much pure coffee do you suppose you get to the pound?" "They wouldn't dare put in over four ounces of chicory," answered one of the group. "Wouldn't, ehf It isn't a question of dare, but do. You speak as if chicory wa? the only thing used, whereas it is only one of a dozen ingredients. Chicory isn't harm ful, but it has become too dear to be ex travagantly used. I'm in the coffee trade, as you know, and I shouldn't give away the secrets, but let me tell you that where you get -four ounces of real coffee to the pound you are in luck. The rest is made up of adulteration." VBut. that's prepared coffee." "Just so, but if you imagine there is no swindling in the berry you are sadly mis taken. Hold on a minute till I bring you down a few samples." He went to his room and returned with three or four samples and spread them out on a paper and said: "It isn't fair to the trade, but I depend on you not to give me away.- Examine these roasted berries.' This is a sample of our Old Government Java. See anything queer?" . , , ' "No," answered two or three voices after a brief inspection. '.'I didn't expect you would. About one berry out of five is the real thing. The others are Rio" which have been fed through a machine and clipped to resemble Java. It's easy enough to deceive the public in prepared coffee or berries ready for grind ing, but how about the 'green berries? Please examine them closely. All' the same size and shape, aren't they?" . , "Yes." "Take 'em all for genuine Mocha, eh?" "Yes." . "Of course you would! That's why we wax fat and grow rich. One-third of those berries are made in a machine out of a cer tain Daste. Another third are pure Rio. sIt's what you might call a two-thirds swin dle on a confiding public, but please don't give me awrfy. I could sell that coffee for 14 cents a pound and make big profit, What i do you think of it?" ' ' ' ' ' This question was addressed to an old De troit grocer who had been attracted to the group and was testing some of the berries between his teeth. ' ""' ' " '"" "Did you say 14?'! asked the grocer. ' "Yes." : - . ' ' "Please take my order for half a million pounds." "W-what!" "Make it an even million while you are about it and telegraph to your house to begin shipping at once!"' "Gentlemen," said the coffee man as he carefully put away his samples, "I believe there is a bar in this house. I believe we are all thirsty. Suppose we all take a drink at my expense." , . . "But what about the order?" asked the grocer, with a smile. "Nothing. These chaps were hungry for a yarn, and I was giving 'em one, and you were a mighty mean" man to come along and let me down in this fashion." Detroit Free Press. . , -; . The Tomato Is a Vegetable. The question whether the tomato is a fruit or vegetable has finally been decided by the supreme court of the United States. Several years ago some imported' tomatoes came through - the custom house in New York city, when the collector classified them as vegetables and collected duty ac cordingly. The importers disputed this point and claimed tomatoes to be fruit and entitled to come in free. . The matter was taken into court, which decided in favor of the collector's claim that the tomato is a vegetable. St. Louis Republic. . A LITTLE THING.

A paragraph is going the round of the provincial press attributing the well known lines, "Thirty Days Hath September," to schoolmaster at Newcastle-on-Tyne, named Springmanh, who flourished there during the early years of the present century. The blunder originated in a curious way. Eight or 10 years ago a biography of Springmann appeared In the Newcastle Weekly Chron icle, in which note was made of a practice which the old schoolmaster adopted of turn ing his lessons into rhymes, like the familiar lines "Thirty days," etc Somebody, mis reading the article, assumed that Spring mann composed "the familiar' lines," and has recently sent the error booming through the press.

It dates from about 250 B. C. There the male is portrayed as "white and ruddy," his hair black and curly, his eyes gray ("like doves washed with ,milk"), his stature tall. He describes his bride as "fair all over, without a spot," slender, "like a palm tree" (not fat, as modern oriental beauties), her hair "as a flock of goats," that is, wavy and light brown, probably, her lips red, , . "like a thread of scarlet."- ' ' ". " . " The interesting feature in both, these descriptions is that, they , point much more to the blonde than to the brunette type as that which, hovered before the imagination of the sous and daughters of Israel as the realization of their amorous dreams.
