LONDON. Aug. 15-1919 earth is not more than 3.909 mum" years old, and probably 110i B- SW55 deal less-if the guidance given by ,metoritites is to be accellled B5 correct.

This is the conclusion reached by‘ Professor F. A- P80118511. 0! the Imperial College of Science and. Technology. South Kensinﬂwﬂ. after the analysis of speclmensyof some 30 meteorites from all parts of the world.

Its significance is that the age of the oldest rocks of the earth's surface which have so far been measured is only 1,500 million years.

Between that and. the time 0f

the supposed formation of the earth, there is a gap of a. further 1,500 million years, which has so for only been bridged by speculation.

The difficulty is ‘that the rocks ' which are presumably thooldest, those deep wiihih the earth, are not available for measurement.

0'1 the widely ﬁvored supp i- iiorl that the meteorites wh ch from time to time‘ hit the earth are the relics of a long exploded planet, Professor Panneth's measurement: give an indication of the age of that planet and therefore. as the solar system is believed to have originated as a. whole, of the earth.

Even if it is only acce ted that the bigger metorites are to be re- gsrded as part of the solar system, their significance as providing a pointer to the age of the earth would still remain.

It was Lord Rayleigh. Professor Panneth explained to a represent- ative of the Morning Post, who was responsible for the idea that the ag» of the earth's rocks could be measured in terms of the minute proportion of the rare gas.

Century Moulded i y Traditions Of Province House

(By The Canadian Press)

HALIFAX. Aug. i5—-While c. sev- en-storey, modern provincial office building is being erected alongside it, Nova Scotiws ancient Province House speaks these days with an 18th century personality that dis- closes no jealousy.

when the $800,000 edifice across the street towers above it, the 01d colonial building, steeped in tra- dition. will still house legislators and affairs of state will be direct- ed from here as they have been in Nova Scour. for more than 100 years.

The new building will be the last word in office construction. It will cost 10 times more than was spent on the grey stone Province House. But the older building is a nation- al shrine. Kings of Erlgland have been entertained within its solid

helium is supposed to have been produced by the) breakdown of radio-active materials within the rock through millions of years- Por- fessor Par-math is applying the some method to meteorites.

He has at South Kenslngton what is probably the most accur- ate equipment in the world for measuring small amounts of helium. A thimbleful is generally quoted as the rough equivalent of a. cubic centimetre. On this basis Professor Pauneth can measure down to a hundred-millionth of a. thimbiefui of pure helium. and can detect its presence in ever smtuler amounts.

Unfortunately the . great ac- curacy of. his measurements is largely wasted on the earth's rocks. It is necessary to assume that the rocks have, at no Stuilﬁ in their history, lost any of their helium, for example as the result of heating- This is prvbﬂbly i111‘ true.’ .

Meteorites, on the other hand, may be supposed to have led a re- latively quite existence, and, be- ing mostly made of iron. would in any case retain their helium under conditions when any normal rock would lose it.

Professor Panneth is mainly con- corned with his apparatus. a strange medley 0i’ S1385 tub“ operated under a high vacuum. The greater part of it is devoted

to the removal of all other gases but helium from the sample of gas to be examined.

His final measurement depends 0n the slight leakage of heat which takes place when a. minute amount of helium is introduced into what was before a vacuum. The arrangement, he ex-

ained, is due to Professor

$5,000,000 Buildilig For Earls Court

LONDON, Aug. 15—By the end of next year London will have the largest and most completely equip- ped permanent exhibition centre in the world.

The new building, which is to cost 1,250,000 pounds, will be on the site 0i the Old Earl's Ovllrt Exhibi- tion, along lease of which has been granted by the Inndon Passenger Transport Board to c. company formed under the auspices of Brit- ish Paclﬂc Trust.

Two thousand men will work on the building. which must be com- pleted by the end 0f 1936.

Many years before the Marquis of Lorne had taken the same oa/th in the high-vaulted, stately council chamber which is still much al it was a century ago.

"Mystery shrouds the identity of the architect” wrote Dr. Archibald MacMecharl. “Tradition will have it that it was John Merrick, Mas- ter Painter in the Dock Yard; but how a master painter in Nelson's time should be almost an inerrant architect is not vouchsafed. Who- ever he was, he achieved a master- piece. The mass and solidity of the fabric resting on piers and arches which Roman masons might have reared, the regularity o; the ashlar, the Ionic columns supporting Gre- cian pediments, empty nit-ches in the grey walls cf hewn Ramsheg stone all tell the‘ one story."

Inside, too, there is classic beauty. Stately rooms richly carpeted en- joy a regal touch. Famous por- traits hang in the Council Cham- ber. “the Valhalla and Westmin- ster Abbey of Nova. Scotia."

Charles Dickens, while attending the opening of the provincial par- liament years ago. said it was like looking at Westminster through the wrong end of a telescope.

Doctor Who Sailed With Admiral Byrd Gives Impressions

(Canadian Press)

SAINT JOJIEN, N.B., Aug. l6- Although Admiral Richard Byrd had placed the United States flag in “Little America," international litigation would be necessary be- fore he could legally claim the territory for his country, in the opinion of Dr. W. B. Highet, youth- ful New Zealander who sailed 2.000 miles from Dunedin to the form- idable Ross Barrier last spring and returned with Byrd's second Ant- arctic expedition.

“Scott, Shackleton and other! touched Antarctica before him, but I do believe Byrd penetrated far- ther inland than the others. The work done there is remarkable." said Dr, Highet when he paused in Saint John cnroute for postgradu- ate work in England.

When Ad- miral Byrd's ‘"I‘he Bear of Oak- land" called at the island, said ‘to be far more isolated than Tristan da Cunha, natives who had not seen o ship for nearly two years acted craziiy with joy. Odd bits of clothing were swapped for miniat- ure idols and curios.

"Little America" is situated on a monotonous plain of ice, said Dr. Highet. ‘Pinned goods, cheese and other supplies left there from the first expedition were found in ex- cellent condition when Byrd and his men arrived a second time.

Radio and books provided the chief means of passing spare time in the bleak territory. Members of the expedition were of United States, Danish, Swedish, Greek, Norwegian and British national- ities. No serious injuries resulted from the two airplane crashes dur- ing the sojourn in Antarctica.

A projected jaunt into McMurdo Sound, former base of Scott's camps, was abandoned owingto dangerous ice conditions. After passing Ross Island the men had c. thrill.

Then came the gigantic Ross Barrier, a sheer cliff of ice ranging from 100 to 400 feet high. For two days the little ship, outlined against this massive wall, plodded toward Discovery Inlet.
