Some Thing's You Want to Know The British Crisis Sport and Sportsmen London, England, spends every year,.more money on sport than for Its army and Davy,' lta religion. Its schools or anything except It drink. An accepted authority on Eng lish sporting matters has compiled statis tics showing that the forty odd million peoplo cf Oreat Britain spend $236,000,000 for sport, besides hpvlng Invested perma retly $:23,00",u0 In property devoted exclu sively to the uso of sportsmen. In vio other nation In the whole world is sport an essential factor in the life of the people. Americans stand patiently be fore bulletin boards waiting to hear tha score of a base ball Rame. but few of them, after they recome men, actually play the. game. In some ports of the union a few men iind women still ride to hounds, but fox-hunting- In the United States amounts to so little that tho great ma Jorlty of peaplc . kiw.v. nothing whatever about it. Foot ball. In its American form, U played only try Bchool boys and college athlete, ltaclng la outlawed In nearly very community, and to ba associated v.ttli the turf It to forfeit social standing i;t nearly all parts of America. Americans till dellaiit to shoot and fUh, but 90 per cnt of them never have the opportunity t do either, vxoept In the most occasional way. In KngUml, sport aeema to be, aiter food and drink, tha chief end of exlsionce. Everybody hu a Saturday half holiday and everybody devotes it to sport. A crowd of M.00 at a professional foot ball game U not unusual. American's highest foot ball recoru attendance does v not reach thts figure. An English boy Is taught to play cricket, not by other boys, as the Ameri can urchin learns base ball, but by his father, who had been in turn, taught tho mysteries of the (pune by his father. This Instruction is not undertaken lightly, but is as much a part of the serious business of life as any other feature of child train ing. Not to have been a cricketer, or a game player of some kind,' Is not to have fulfilled the requirements of a British edu cation. Both Mr. Asqulth and Mr. Balfour, the leaders of the two great political par ties in Britain, fall to appeal fully to the imaginations of their followers because neither of them at eullege took any inter est In sports. Their biographers always apologise for this shortcoming. When George V ascended tho throne his paoplo remembered with gratification that as Princo of Wales he had the reputation of being a .splendid shot. One of the first things tho new king did was to. announce that he would continue the racing stubles established 'by his father, although It ts L'nrallv known that Uorgu had littlg vital interest in the lurr. Wlwn the king's horse, or the prime minister's entry win tho lerby or soma other great, classlo of liic English turf tho victory is an occa sion for national rejoicing. It Is impos sible to Imaging a president of the I'tiited States or even a prominent senator at tending a race meeting a the proprietor vt a stable. Somctlmns. evu In England. a Pqrltan will object to the patronage of the turf on the part of a great statesman. A Congregational minister once attacked Lord , Rosebery, then prime minister, be cause he was the owner of a Derby win ner." Lord: Rbscb'ery In reply said, In effect,' that it was -none -of -the " minister's busi ness, and that Christian charity should prevent' tli'o criticism of any man's prefer ences In sport. Without doubt' the great majority of Englishmen agreed with Lord Kosubery. Out , of . a ' territory of less than twenty million acres in Scotland, almost four mill ion acres are devoted to deer forests alone. Scotland has a population about equal to that of 'Ohio. Can. any American Imagine one-fifth of the -territory of Ohio devoted to deer forest?',--Th llcenses-for shoot ing game bring to Greit Britain a rev enue of a million dollars a year. Men who shoot or fish are compelled to rent the property for that , purpose, - whether they take it for a (Jay, a week or a year. One single -firm of land agents In Lon don holds, prorx-rty worth more than fifty million dollars on its llsts.to.be rented for shooting and fishing. The annual expendi ture for hunting, shooting and fishing amount to a , himdred I'rjilllo-n dollars, while nearly two hundred, million dollars worth of property' is- held exduelvely for the purpose of these particular varieties of sport While all classes of the people are sports men, only foot ball and cricket are the free privileges of the lower classes. The game preserves are guarded carefully by armies of keepers, and poaching is severely punished by the law. About twenty years ago Parliament gave tenant farmers the right, by enacting the hares and rabbits bill, to shoot "fur" on the land which they lease and cultivate. But in many Darts of the country it is dangerous for a tenant ' to exercise this right, lest he fait under tho displeasure of the -squire." Even tho possession of a fowling-piece is sufficient to bring a tenant farmer under suspicion of poaching. There is an agitation in favor jf giving the actual holders of land the right to shoot "feather." as well as "fur," but there is little likelihood of such a radical piece of legislation at this time. And yet there are few in the peasant class who are not potential poachers. In the last political campaign Lloyd-George hor rified the gentry and endeared himself to the peasantry by confessing that he had. himself, violated the game' laws of a dark flight. . ....... . Just what spurt th.-ro may be In taking a seat on a comfortable shooting stool, at tended by a battalion 'of gun-bearers, and then pot-shooting penectly tame peasants as they are driven punt by-an army of beaters and drivers may. arouse questions In an American mind. Uut no man may deny that fox hunting Is real sport, and every man must acknowlodeo that tha English are the best hunters In the world. Every pack of hounds In England Is as well known all over the nation as the base ball And,' as a- rule, they are sportsmen In politics. I nUIDZUO J. XABKIir. Tomorrow Tae British Crisis. Political Campaigning. xxrzx clubs of the major leagues are known all over America. There Is no position within the reach of an American sportsman which carries with it even a hint of the honor attaching to the office of master of a. fam ous county hunt. The English hunters,'' men and women, are hard-riding, sturdy, out-of-door athletes who represent in themselves all that is cleanest and best In the con ventional notions of British sportsmanship, It Is In the realm of sport that the Eng lishman demonstrates his traditional love of fair play. English orowds do not cry out for the umpire's blood when he gives a close decision against the home team, nor do they accept In approving silence a pal pably rank decision when It is to their ad vantage. If a base ball umpire in America were given, by the rules of the game, as much , leeway as is the' umpire of an Eng lish cricket match, there would be riot with every game,. But the law-abiding Briton accepts without dieseat the Judgment of the official. . One reason for this difference may be the fact that cricket la nothing like as swift a' game as bsse ball, and it doe not so power fully appeal to the emotions of spectators, even supposing the spectators were pos sessed of the emotions. Base ball has been tried In England, cricket has been tried In tha United States. Both were dismal fail ures. .Base ball is a game demanding alert attention, keen wit, . rapM thought and versatile ability all of which are more or less Amorlcan characteristics; while cricket demands steadiness, coolness, calculating Judgment, deliberate campaigning and mon umental patience all of which are more or less British characteristics. The entire British empire may be waiting on the tip-toe of expectancy for the final score from an International cricket match, and yet the cricketers will stop In the mid dle of the game for a cup of tea. Nobody is impatient, nobody la flustered, nobody cum' plains. Imagine the post series major league base ball championship game, with tho score 1 to 1 In the seventh Inning, suspended to permit the players and their lady friends to babble over a cup of Sir Thomas Upton's best brew. The difference probably Is that Americans play games for the sake of winning, con sidering the sport in itself an Incident, whllo the English play for the sake of tho sport and consider victory or defeat merely an Incident to the main bualneKS in hand. American trained athletes often may del'cat British competitors in trials of Kklll, but that la a virtue of the American habit ol specialisation." Take any hundred English men at random und any hundred Ameri cans, and the chances are that tho Ameri cans would not be able to compete success fully In athletics. Certain it is that the English believe that the vast amount of money thoy expend every year for sport la well spent. Well ington said that the battle of Waterloo was won on the cricket fields cf Eton, and most Englishmen believe that all the battles of the future will be won in like manner. The English are a nation of sportsmen. HEEDLESS OF HER CRITICS America a Woman Floats Throagh Eadlesa Analysis Without -1 .S'arnlnar a Hair. . American . women have to wear costly raiment to outdress their servants, says the CourUesB Henri de Frankenstein, "formerly the. beautiful Anna Brewster." American women by their careless de portment breed Immorality into the younger generation, says Miss Adelaide Leonore Mc Adam, "fresh from long study abroad." ' American women think more of self preservation than of race-preservation, says Marian Cox, an author claiming to express "man's view of the situation." As one in doubt at whist leads trunips, according to the old formula, so one at a loss for other conversational material talks about the weather or the American woman, comments the New York World.

The age of tha earth has always been a (.subject for discussion among men of science and largely without any definite agree ment among the representatives of the dif ferent branches of studies on account of the different points of attack. To briefly refer to some of the more re cent discussions on the toplo it may be said that Lord Kelvin In 18C2 first discussed the age of the earth as a cooling body. His results were fr some years received with sorrow ami indignation by most geolo gists and especially by evolutionists, who then desired unlimited time In which to ef fect the development of species. More mature study has convinced the scientific world that there is no necessary discrep ancy between Kelvin's 20,000,000 to 400,000,000 years, with a probable 98,000,000, and the conclusions of geologists or paleontologist. In 1893 Clarence King, with the aid of Carl Barua, Introduced the important crit erion of tidal stability and reached tho con clusion that 24,000,000 years best repre sented the conditions. This result was ac cepted by Kelvin in 1897, and he then placed the limits at 20,000,000 and 40,000,000 'bars. Tho earths considered had uniform Initial temperatures. In 1908 George F. Becker showed that such a distribution of tempertt.ure nwessarlly invdved a pro lcngu4 v '.od ol! tidal instability and dls cui:cd a irobe, vhe initial temperature of whir ft incwiMed in simple proportion to the distant) t the curfaco. During tho last twenty years much energy has been expended upon the study of the maximum tlilckness of sedimentary rocks and the time rate of their dlsponltlori.' In 1S90 de Lapparent thus estimated a period of from (i7,000,000 to iiO.OOO.OOJ cf years. A most careful investigation of this kind was made by Charles D. Walcott, tha present secretary of the Smithsonian institution, wh, In ISM carried out minute and cauti ous studies of the rate of dlspisltlon und of tho amount of accumulation, both me chanical and chemlciil. Ills estimate for the lapie of time since the base of the Cumbrian Is 2T,C40,0U0 yearn, aud he allows for the Algonkian a period of tT.MO.&'U years. Nuturolly, this figure Is based cn extremely lmperfoct data and Bhould proo ubly be Increased. According to Mr. Wal cott, therefore, the maximum age would be about "O.OoO.OuO years. Nearly SO years ago Edmund llalley, tlwi great uKtronoiner, devised a method of de termining the age of the ocean from the amount of salt which it contains. He rec ognised tliat the means he proposed for do. turminlng the annual Increment of salt were impracticable und, writing ling he file Lavoliiirr was born, he could not have guessed that analysis of river wutt-rs would become so simple u matter. More recently this point of attack has been taken up by certain English scien tists, notably, J. Joly, who, in 1899 gave the age as between 80,000,000 and 90,000,000 years. In liK, W. J. Sollas, who made a most searching Inquiry Into the subject, placed the age of the ocean between 80,000,000 and 150,000,000 years. In cur own country Frank Wlgglesworth Clarke and George F. Becker of the United States geographical survey have followed the subject with considerable Interest, and under the title of "A Preliminary Study of Chemical Denudation," recently Issued as paper 1,935 of the Smithsonian publi cations. Prof. Clarke presents in admirable form a review of all tha available data, not only for the United States, but for the world, of the proposition from the chemical point of view, whllo on the other hand, Mr. Becker In paper 1.936 discusses "The Age of the Earth" from a more philosophical point of view, resulting Jn the opinion that the data available seemed to indicate not above 70,000,000 or below Im.OOO.OOO years. By publishing these papers the Smith sonian Institution has contributed much valuable information to these most inter esting discussions, which will doubtless continue for many years to occupy the at tention of scientists.

I verily belive that the old man hunts where the ; sword is, end while I w ish It away out of ' sight forever, it ain't for me to touch It, with the old man's last words ringing in my tars. 1 tried to shut out the sight of It, with a flag hanging over It, but I heard Its trembling m tlon beneath the flag, whose folds rustled so I had la take It down and put it away. 25 Per Cent Discount Monday will be a special sale day In Mlssea' and Child ren's Buckle Strap Pumps and Boys', Youths' and Little Gents' Oxfords; at a special discount of. .
