“The evidence for evolution is circumstantial but in a. mass way it ‘is so overwhelming that scar- cely a scientific man holds other opinion-s" he ‘said. The Presid- enug-ndtiress was entitled "Time and Life". '

The Ape of the Earth.

"Aiodorn investigation." said Dr. Parks "physical. astronomical and geological all tend to increase tho estimate of the age of the earth. The ‘latest estimates, based on the rates of dissociation of uranium amd thorium, make tho age more ‘than 1,700,000,000 years.
