Assuming that' the existing stratified ' rocks haye thus passed : through, denuda tion and deposition, we have a period of 72,000,000 years. J . - "',,... : D Haughton, calculating from the observed thickness of the rocks down to the miocene tertiary, and assuming a period of 8,000 years for each foot deposited on the ocean-bed finds for the age of the stratified rocks a period of 1,526,750,000 years. Assuming the .rate, ot denudation, however, as ten times greater in an cient times than at present and add ing one-third for theperiodince the miocene tertiary he arrives at a final result of 200,000,000 vears. Dr. Croll doubts the" validity of Prof. Haughton's assumptions, especially the :t total thickness he assuijie& namely, HT,20(r: feet, or over thirty-' three miles. : " v - , . : A.; R. Wallace, r adopting Dr, Haughton's thickness, but assuming the sediment to be deposited along a belt of thirty miles wider round the whole coast line of the globe, c finds, with an assumed denudation of one foot in 3,000 years, a period of 28, 000,000 years.; This, however, on Dr. Croll's assumption of r reforma tion and denudation, repeated several times would be merely a fraction of the time required. Dr. Croll fur ther shows that the evidence- of re markable "faults" in various parts of the world, with "downthrows" rang ing from 3,000 to 20,000 feet, the en ormous amount of solid rock whifih must have been denuded off the sur face of the earth during the progress of geological history. He estimates that three miles of rock have been removed since the beginning of the old red sandstone. This would in dicate a period of 45,000,000 years. Assuming that the period before the old red sandstone was . equally long we Jiave "90,000,000: years as the "minimum ' duration of -geological time." " 'r'y- y ' . " These enormous periods of time do not, however, seem to satisfy the demands of the biologists and the supporters of the Darwinian theory. Judging ?from the fact that almost the whole of the tertiary period has .been required to convert the ances tral orohippus into the true horse,' Prof. Huxley believes "that in order to have time for the mueh greater change for the ancestral ungulata into - the two great odd-toed and even-toed division (of which change there is no trace, even among the earliest eocene mammals) we should require a larger, portion, if notthe whole, of the mesozoic dr secondary period," andstill longer periods, are demanded for the evolution of other animals "so that, on the lowest esti mate, we must place the origin of the mammalia very far back in palaeozoic times." Mr. Wallace speaks of pos sible periods of 200,000,000 and eyen 500,000,000 of yearsi - . A NEW LOCOMOTIVE. . Which Is Expected to Develop Speed of 100 Milea an Hour. Kansas City Times. One of the smallest locomotives ever built was that shown last night by T. J. Cookson, the inventor, to a party of capitalists, mechanical, en gineers and others. It is five feet in length, one . and one-half feet in height, and weighs 225. pounds. - It is the model of an engine which Mr. Cookson expects to build soon, and which is expected to solve the pro blem that has for years" been the study of locomotive builders. The . feature of the , engine is the patent-valve motion. For years it has been recognized by engineers that the main point in the locomo tive of the present day that must be improved is the valve motioa.and the reduction of the resisting fric- tional force, which must be over come by a power that should be applied-direct to the propulsion; but which, instead, is wasted on the, com plicated parts of the existing locomotive:-'" ' v-; - -' .. . The invention is a valve, worm and gearf which does away L with the worst impediment, one of the cost liest parts of the locomotive, the ec centrics, links and undergearing. In stead of the complicated gearing in use now, and which, by the way, has never until now been improved upon practically, Mr. Cookson uses a sin gle rotary valve which is controlled by a worm-gear operated by the re verse lever. -' The gear consists of a rotary elas tic balance valve, which is placed between the two cylinders and sup plies steam to them both in a more perfect manner than is possiDie ror the void slide: valve. The; rotary valve is operated by a worm and gear. ' The worm is placed on the; crank axle v between the two cranksy and mashes into the gear or elonga ted wheel that is placed on the end of the valve rod. : 1 Twfe valve rod is -made to .slide backward and "forward on a key for reversing, drawing the; elongated wheel on the valve stem tnrougnine teeth in the worm, and turning the valve one-quarter around,' . which changes the steam from one side of the pistons to the dther, and the en gine reverses. The variable 1 cutoff, which works the steam expansively in. the cylinders, is operated without Changing the position, of the valve, and the engine can be reversed un der a full head of steam. , v ' : At the exhibition last evening Mr. Cookson ran the engine at the rate of 4,200 revolutions .a minute wun onlv fifteen pounds of steam pres sure.- This speed has ' never" before hfn"nhtained on ''a double eneihe. It is asserted, that a.xate of speea of 1 100 miles an hour is easuy obtain able. - v ' Uncle Silas (reading) Stifferny & Co. have made a solid silver epergne inr a Nw York ladv.J It is Valued at tl.498. - ' ;-:r' ; Annt BetsvThat's downright ex- travatranccL.

" t Until about twenty years ago the vast grassy- plain , lying ? between Gainesville - and ; Micanopy, and known as Paine's prairie, was one of themost noted localities -in Florida. Stretching fifteen miles from east to west and six from north to-south, it presented a grand and beautiful spectacle when' waving with green" grass and herbage.-' The old Indian chief, f King -Payne had his "head quarters in the neighborhood of it, and . it came; to be ; knowriby : his name.! But in 1871,- during a violent storm . of severai days duration, the subterranean outlet to the waters of the prairie, kpown as the great sink, became clogged with moss and other debris . that drifted into ,it. ? Then the water-rose over the prairie to a depth of from three to twenty feet, and for twenty years1 the prairie re mained a lake.-:, -y'y', Such phenomena' are not rare in Florida, and they I prove, that the subterranean; features of the ; State are even more remarkable than those of the surface;;. Let a tourist travel from iMarianna" to Gainesville, and thence southward to Brooksville, and he could not fail to be convinced that that portion of the State at least has an extensive system of under ground waterways'. Through- those bottomless, well-liko holes at Silver Springs one looks dow.a into a sub- terranean river. - .The "devil's hop per," 'the "devil's punch bowl," and! thousands of - other; abrupt "depres sfdhs 6r "slnks' are caused by the caving in of the earth or soft rock that spanned some; hidden river or creek.) The outlets of some of these underground :streams' have been found loff the coast, the fresh water boiling up out of the sea. - ' ; But Florida- is not unique in this respect.; In the region known as the Great Basin there are but two streams that do not find underground chan nels tor at least ;a -portion of. their course. Innumerable streams are believed to flow entirely below the surface. -A similar state of things, exists pn other portions of the West, and inj many places east of the Mis sissippi subterranean, streams have been detected. It is a well-established fact that there is a river flow ing under the bed of Lake Erie con-' riecting the; water of Lake Ontario with those of the upper lakes The peculiarity of Florida's system of natural underground drainage is its proximity to the surface. Under standing this subject many of Florida's peculiar topographical fea tures are easily explained. A BIG GAMrToF. POKER. In Which the Chips Bepresented Steers '. ' Instead of SXoner. : .'; - "The game began at( Texarkana," said a Pittsburger, who occasionally drops into poker, to a Dispatch re porter "the oddest; arid one of the biggest poker games ever yet played. It was early in the fall of last year when four . ranchmen, ,who own be tween them thousands of acres 'and tens of thousands of cattle in Texas, met at the ; terminus of the Iron Mountain road. ' They were bound for Chicago, where they intended to sell their cattle, and, as the wealth iest cattlemen of the great South west often do, they preferred to make the journey in the Qaboose of a stock tram the atmosphere was more congenial and ' the chance to indulge in : the national game was tempting. The games was not pe culiar lin itself; it was carried on in the free-and-easy but business-like way that obtains in the West, but the value bf the chips was stated in un- usual lerms, a wime cuip stauuiug ior one steer, a red chip standing for five steers and blue chip for- ten steers. A tolerably 1 large herd of cattle was upon the dry goods box which served for a table at every deal and one jackpot contained no less than 300 head of cattle. From Texarkana to St. Louis the player's luck was about even,: although hun dreds of hands were played in " that time. But when they struck the Al ton and entered - the home stretch for - Chicago the contests grew fiercer, and at about every third hand the betting ran high. Luck turned in one of -the players favor the man who had least rocks, by the way and when the multiply ing lights on the prairie showed that the train was nearing Chicago the game ended. The other three men had lost every chip they had, had borrowed again and again with the same Result,: and when the winner counted up he found he had won 4U, 000 head of cattle belonging to the other three men in the game,- or in close hpon $250,000."

A V special dispatch from Del' Rio, Texas, says: Telegraphic advices from Samuel.Texas, a small station on the Southern Pacific Railway, located in a thinly settled sec tion, give a thrilling account of b daring train robbery committed by six masked -men at that place shortly after midnight last night. All the money and valuables in the sale in the express car were seized by the robbers as well as several sacks of mail and registered packages from the mail car. Tbe amountlol moneyiobtamed cannot be learned, but it. will doubtless reach into tens of thousands. The train was just pulling out from the station when six masked men; sim ultaneously mounted . the engine, mail and express cars two men. for each of these positions. Over forty shots were fired, literally perforating- the baggage and . express cars without injuring any one, when an unexpected mode of rro- cedure was adopted that of jexploding a dynamite cartridge against a small window in the express. The effect of this was to tear out the window and otherwise damage the car. Theiexpress messenger was stunned, but he recover ed in a few moments only to be over powered by the robbers and made to give up his safe.key. The train was de laved several hours.' The robbers took their time in doing the job, and with the utmost coolness and exhibition of great nerve.
