How LONG WE Mlsur LIvE.-Pro-
tessor Faraday adopts Fiourin's phys
iological theory that the natural age
Of man is one hundrcd years. The
duration of life he believes To be
measured by the time Of growth.
When once the bones anu epiphvses
are united. the body grows no more.
aud Il is at twenty years that this un-
ion is effected in man. In the camel
il takes place at ght; IN the horse n
five; in the Hon MT four in the dog ut
two: in the rabbit II ONE The nat
arai termination oi'lite is tiye removes
from these several points. MAJ, be-
ing twenty years In growing, lives
i've times twenty years, that is, one
hundred tie camel is eight years in
growing, and lives FIVE times eigh,
years, that is to say forty years; the
horse, five years III growing, and he
lives twenty FIVE years; aud SO with
other animals. The man who does no,
die of sickness lives everywhere from
eighty to one hundred years. Provi-
u
life, but he does not attain it because
he inhcrits diseases, cats unwhole-
some food, gives license to passions.
and permits vexations 10 disturb his
healthy eqnipoise. He does no, die, he
kills himself. The learned Professor
also divides life into two equal halves,
growth and decline, and t.cse halves
into infancy, youth, virility and age.
Infancy extends to the twentieth year;
youth to the tittieth, because it is dur
ing that period that the tissues BE-
come firm; yirili;y from fifty toseven-
ty-five, during which the organism
remains complete, and ut serenty-tive
old age commences, 10 last longer
or shorter time, as the diminu,ion
of reserved forces is fastened or re-
tarded.
