The time that bas elapsed since the first appearance of life on earth has been variously estimated at 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 years, To tax our powers of comprehension as little as possible, Dr. H. Schmidt, of Jens, has taken the shortest estimate, and has tried to make under- standable the five great evolutionary periods through which life has passed by comparing thera with a day of 24 hours. This is the result The Aroksowie period (52 million years is represented by 12 hours 30 minutes; Paleozoic (34 million years), 9 hours 7-minutes ; Mesozoic (11 million years), 2 hours 38 minutes Cenozoic (3 million years), 43 miantes; An thropozoic (100,000 years), 2 minutes. "If the last period, the age of man, be compared in its sub-divisions by the same scale it is found that the historie" portion covers only 5 seconds, and 2 seconds are sufficient for the Christian era. It seems incredible, but the evidence is convinc- ing, that this does not exaggernto the time re- lations of our written records with the records of the rocka.
Perhaps the most novel and remarkable entries in any trade catalogue of the day are radium salts, which are quoted by Siemens Bros & Co., London agents of the Banque da Badium, of Paris. One gramine of radium Balts containing only 0.0025 per cent of the pure bromide is listed at about $4, and from this the prices range according to the strength of the material up to $80,000 (£15,000) for a gramme of pure radiam bromide. Physicians
and others may hire radio-active salts. For a

PURE MILK FOR BABIES.
The Allenburys Foods.
The "Allenburys" Milk Foods are the nearest approach to maternal milk that science has yet achieved. They provide, when used as directed, a complete diet for infants: promote vigorous health and growth; make firm flesh and strong bones; and are so graduated. as to give, the maximum, quantity of nourishment the child is capable of digesting, according to ago. Diarrhoea, digestive and stomach troubies are avoided when these foods are given, as by the method of manufacture, they are absolutely devoid of noxious ferms, and therefore safer than, and superior to, cow's milk, especially in hot weather.
The Mok Foods are made instantly by the simple addition of hot water only, and are alike suitable for the delicate
hot! Infant and the child in robust health.
