STATISTICS is unfortunate that so
many of the visitors 10 the Exposition
missed seeing a large portion of the ex-
hibits. Many no doubt failed to go
into some of the rooms. Room Z, on
account of its location, was especially
unfortunate in this respect. Then most
of the visitors, even some who came
more than once, passed through so
rapidly that they certainly did not see
nearly all there was to be seen, and
consequently have only an incomplete
idea of the quantity of the Exposition.
For this reason, and for future refer
ence, we give hereby statement as
nearly correct as we can of the different
objects on exhibitions:

HOIY LONG MIN MAr LEHE.

! 1t was Prof. Hufeluld's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might
be set at 200 years. This on the general
principle that the life of creature is
eight times the years Of its period OK
growth. That which is quickly formed
quickly perishes, and the earlier CON-
plete development il reached the sooner
bodily decay ensues. More women
reach old age than men, but moro neil
attain remarkable longevity than women.
Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns. fierce longer than.
timid, and amphibious longer than those
which inhabit the air. The voracious
pike exists, it is said, to an age of 15C
years the turtle is good for 100 years
or more and among birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly 2OC.
years, while the SLY and somber crow
reaches the venerable age of century.
Passing up in the scale of life TO man,
and skipping the patriarchs, We find
many recorded instances of longevity
among the classic Greeks and Romans.
Piny notes that in the reign of the En-
poror Vcspasian, in the year rs, there
were 124 men living in the limited area
between the Apprentices and the Pc q
100 years and upward, three of whom
were lao and four overl35. Cicero's wife
lived to the age of lob, and the Roman
actress Luceia played in public as late
as her 112th year.
Coming down to more recent times
the most notable authentic instance of
great age is that of Henry Jenkins, of
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1910,
1859 years old. He was fisherman, and
at the age OF 100 easily swan across
rapid rivers. Another historic case is
that of Thomas Parr, Of Shropshire, o
day laborer, who lived to the age Of 152
years. When more than 100 he married
his second wife, and till 100 he could
swing the scythe and WELD the fail with
the best of his fellow-la borers. In his
1924 year Parr went up to London to
exhibit himself to the King. 1t proved
nm unlucky visit, for, violating the alb
stemious habit Of century and half.
the old man feasted so freely on the
royal victuals that he soon died merely
of a plethora. On examination his in
ternal organs proved to be in excellent
condition, and there was no reason why
he should not have lived much longer
save for this unfortunate taste Of royal
hospitality. Prof. Hufeland's roll of
centenarians includes many more re-
markable cases, among them that of
Mittlestedt, Prussian soldier, WHO
served sixty-seven years under both the
Fredericks, fighting many battles, and
enduring much hard campaigning, and
who, after all this, married successfully
three wives, the last when he was ITO,
only two years before his death.

A GREAT SCENE.

At Sedan the Emperor William sat on
a hill overlooking the battle field with
the American Generals Sheridan and For
syth, when the news OF the oapitulation
came, and the French bearer OF the flag
OF truce was seen riding sadly back. AT
dawn the next morning Bismarck, who
had been drinking champagne and eat
ing sandwiches with officers and myself
until l, and arguing terms of surrender
the rest of the night, was mounted o,
his bay, fresh and clean shaven, riding
toward Sedan, while we followed. A
shabby, low carriage, from which came
the CLEAN of gold lace, approached. Bis.
marck sprang from his horse, letting it
go, and bowed low. The loaden- colored,
gaunt-eyed, deep-lined man vith dishcv-
eled muStache, in the carriage, was Ma

tage, Napoleon ind Bismarck sat down
and talked in an undertonA, while we
stood at the garden hedge, tho weaver
calmly looked ON from his window, and
eager troops and provision carts streaned
by. Then Bismarck rode back to the
Emperor, and Napoleon waited alone,
walking back and forth, limping slight
ly, and smoking countless cigarettes.
The proudest monarch in Europe was
cooling his heels at weaver's cottage,
waiting attendance on Prussian. Soon
troop of cuirassiers formed around tho
cottage, Bismarck returned, and Napo-
leon was escorted to a ruined house ia
Sedan. Won Moltke had dispelled the
obstinacy OF the French commander by
showing him the German cannon, and
the capitulation had been signed. The
German monarch came riding down With
head proudly erect to meet the bent and
broken Napoleon, who came forward
with handkerchief ut his eyes, while
Williams face worked strangely. In the
shattered house an interview of twenty
minutes was held, then William rode
away among his troops, and Napoleon
spent the night in the bedroom occupied
by William the night before. He passed
the night in reading, and the book sig
nifcantly was Bulwer's "Last of the
Barons "-Archi6Gid Forbes. ...

artistic merit whatever. At fist it may
be matter OF surprise that mora relics
of past excellence should not come into

for by the supposition that there are
foreign agents always on the watch to
