THE KEY WEST CITI: Atlantic States rate, 446 heart disease per 100,000. Despite the seriousness of the problem, what with one out of every 16 in the country suffering from some form of heart or blood) vessel disease, hope exists because research is making vital new dis- coveries, states the American ‘Heart Association. Some heart con- ditions can now be prevented and some can be cured. Significant strides are being made toward the’ conquest of others. ZEN Tuesday, February 2, 1954 Age Of Earth Estimated At © 41-2 Billion By ROBERT GOLDENSTEIN CHICAGO (#~Four scientists us- ing an atomic yardstick to meas- ure time have pushed the origin of the earth back to at least 4% billion years ago, This is the oldest date yet ob- tained by analyzing elements in the solar system, for some two billion years of its existence, the earth’s surface was not solid as it is today, but was molten or in some other diffuse nonsolid state, The studies were based on two slightly different kinds of lead found in meteorites—the small bodies which scientists say were formed in the same nuclear up- heaval that produced: the earth. The lead once. was uranium, a substance that loses its radio- activity at a known rate in a de- caying process. However, there are at least two kinds of isotopes in natural uranium, differing slightly in weight. The different rate at which the two kinds of isotopes lose their radioactivity is the key to the age- determining technique. The heaviest isotope, uranium 238, loses half its radioactivity in 4% billion years, decaying into lead 206, Another uranium isotope, U-235—the kind used in the A-bomb —loses half its radioactivity in Brailey needs your help!
