THE RIVER COMMISSION.

the inclination to express the feeling
OF indignant disappointment which, |
am persuaded, is felt by our citizens
generally, without distinction ol party,
towards the Congressional River In
vestigating Committee, for their fail
ure to give the people of Memphis an
opportunity to show them the needs
and operations of the great river at
and near Memphis. They arrived
here LIST night after dark, and left
this morning before breakfast, thereby
preventing the citizens from meet
ing and giving them important
information upon the subject
for which Congress, at considerable
expense. sent them down the river. II
they shall give to all other portions Of
the river the same exhaustive (?) in
yestigatiop which has been made at
and near Memphis, their report to
Congress, upon its next meeting, will
no doubt be eagerly sought after.
especially by seekers for river knowl
edge in this quarter. The abrasions
by the river at Memphis, and the
threatened cut off near here, two OF
the most important questions, were
not even casually examined. and no
one had even an opportunity to
mention them to the committee
Now in view of the fact that eighty
millions Of LOCAL commerce are direct
iy involved here generally, to say
nothing of thousands of millions
annually passing and reaping over
this neglected work, we think we
have a reasonable right to feel az
grieved that, after making careful
preparations to show them all these
matters, accompanied by the necessary
facts and figures, they should not
eyeR spend q few hours of daylight in
going through at lessE, the form Of
an investigation here. CITIZEN.

Knoxville Tribune: The Congress

the Mississippi river in a palace
steamer, known as the Mississippi
River Commission, is likely to cover
itself with the Same kind of glory that
weighed down the Tariff Commission
The expenses will, of course, be paid
by Congress, and the party seems to
be determined to make the bill as
large as possible. 1t requires thirty
five state rooms to accommodate the
commission, nearly every member Of
which has the lady or ladies of his
family with him. The reports
so far indicate that pleasure is
more the object Of the commission
than anything else. 1t is estimated
that the expenses will be about one
thousand dollars per day,

The Causes and Cure Of Old Age.

l., LANCER has recently been engaged
in the comparative analysis Of human
fat at different ages. He finds that in
FAINT fat j. harder than that of adults or
old men, that there are oil globules in
our fat, but none in that Of babies; the
microscope shows one or two oil
globues in every fat cell Of the adult,
while very few have fat crystals The
fat cells Of the infant contain no oil
globues, and nearly every cell contains
fat crystals, "lnfant fat forms homo
geneous, white, solid, tallow-like mass,
and melts at IL deg. c., while adult fat
standing in warm room separates into
two layers; the lighter and larger is n
transparent yellow liquid which solidi-
ties below the freezing point OF water,
the lower layer is q granular crystalline
mass melting at 36 deg. c. Infant fat
contains GG75 per cent. Of oleic acid,
adult fat $3.50 Infant fat contains
2S.97 per cent Of palmitic acid, against
sic in the adult and 3.2S of stearic
acid, against 2Oi. These latter, the
palmitic and stearic acids, are the
harder and less fusible, while the oleic
acid is the softer and more fusible con-
stituent of fats.
No attempt is made to explain the
reason of these differences, or to sug-
gest any means by which we may re-
harden Of repalmitize our fat, and thus
regain our infant chubbiness
Old age is evidently due to changes
