This calculation, which is made very uncertain by the un known effect on solar heat of radio- activity, would limit the age of the earth to a similar time. Turning to the rock strata, the total thickness of the sedi montary deposits is found to be about 30 miles, and, at the sea's present rate

the basis for another estimate. The salt in the ocean would entirely cover the continents to a depth of nearly 300 feet, and as this has been all washed from the land by rain, the present rate of addi tion shows that the process has been going on about 100,000,000 years. The presence of helium has given rise to estimates of age, ranging from 7,000,000 years for an oligocene rock to 710,000,000 years for a specimen of archean times.

FLAMELESS GA9-11KAT,
The new method of burning gas with- but flame is claimed to surpass greatly in temperature and heating effects the ordinary flame combustion. Describing the new system at the University of Leeds, Prof. William Bone, by whom and his co workers it was evolved in the course of many years of scientific research, stated that it is a kind of incandescent surface combustion, and that all classes of gaseous or vaporized fucks may be buried in this way. A homegencous ex- plosive mixture of the gas and air, 1 proper proportions for complete com- bustion, is ignited in contact with
incandescent solid. Under such the gaseous mixture is burned without flame, and a large proportion of the pote
potential
energy of the gas is inune- diately converted inte radiant form. Various advantages of this flameless heat are announced. Combustion is made per- fact with a minimum excess of air; it is greatly accelerated by the incandescent! surface; it can be concentrated when the heat is required; very high temperatures are possible; and the transmission of heat to the object to be heated is made very rapid...
