What is the current geological age of the earth?
The earth is about 4.5 billion years old. This has been established by careful analysis of radioisotope ratios in rock. This date was derived by the 1930s, and has not changed (on the basis of better evidence) over the past seventy years. Further studies in the 1950s arrived at the same conclusion, as have subsequent studies over the ensuing decades.
Why is soil an inexhaustible resource?
It depends on what you mean by "soil". If you just mean soil in the sense of "plain old dirt", then it's inexhaustible for all practical purposes because the actions that produce it (erosion, decomposition, weathering, etc) are constantly occurring. If by "soil", though, you mean "fertile soil that is usable for agricultural purposes", then that is a very finite, exhaustible resource. Ask anyone who lived through the Dust Bowl of the 1930s how "inexhaustible" their farm's soil was. Fertile soil has a finite amount of the minerals and chemicals (nitrogen, phosphorous, vitamins, etc) that plants needs to grow, and if you grow plants in an area for a long time without replacing the nutrients that are used up, you'll eventually have a patch of dead dirt.

Was there electricity in 1899?
Absolutely!!!! As you could tell from any U.S. history book, the electrical industry was already well-established by that time. Remember, Thomas Edison was famous for his invention of the electric light bulb back in 1879. In the following half-century the groundwork for much of what we have today was already in place - incandescent and fluorescent lights; radios, movies, phonographs, and (albeit primitive) television, hydroelectric dams, electric trains and trams, just to name a few things.

The dust bowl drought of the 1930s was a natural disaster which resulted in some three million people walking off their farms in the Great Plains. The ploughing of the natural vegetation of the grasslands, and the planting of wheat which could not survive the drought, resulted in the exposure of tonnes of bare earth, which in turn gave rise to continuous dust storms.
