Scientific men see no reason why the
span of human life may not be extended to
a round hundred years from the present
limit of seventy to eighty years.
The age to which persons lived varies in
Old Testament chronology.
From Adams time to that of Methuselah
and Noah, men are recorded as attaining to
we'll nigh the age of 1000 years. The
Psalmist David, however, says: THE days
of our age are three score years and ten; and
though men be SO strong that they come 20
four score years, yet is their strength then
but labor and sorrow; SO soon passeth it
away, and we are gone.
This wide margin of longevity, together
with proper observance of mental. moral
and physical laws, leads Investigators to be-
lieve it is possible that human life might be
made to increase in length of days to a full
century, at least.
Moderation and regularity in eating,
drinking and sleeping are conducive to lon
gevity, and those who observe proper hab-
its and use pure and efficacious remedies
when sick, may accomplish immense labor
with no apparent injury to themselves and
without foreshortening their lives.

respect paid to aged persons, for people
would scarcely desire to be old were the
aged neglected or regarded with mere suf-

which age is made a source of distinction.
OF all marks of respect, that to age is most
willingly paid, because every one who does
homage to age may himself, eventually
become an object of such homage.
A Mosque in the Sahara.
A discovery of much archaeological
interest was recently made in the
Algerian Sahara. NJ. larry, who has
been carrying on work in connection
with the proposed Trans-Sahara Rail
road, having noticed a mound of sand
in the neighborhood of Wargal, had the
sand dug up, and discovered the top of
a dome. This naturally aroused his in
terest, and getting his Arabs to dig still
deeper, he found underneath the dome
a square tower, then a platform of mas
sonry, and finally a complete mosque.
Continuing the excavations. M. larry
Don unearthed seven houses in perfect
preservation, and came upon a SUBJ
terranean watercourse. Atthe last news
nine houses had been disinterred, and
M. larry was getting additional assist
ance to clear out the precious water
course, which he describes as sufficient
to irrigate a small forest of palms. 1t is
well known that the Sahara was at one
time much more populated than it is
now. and its trade much more extern
sive, but no one seems to have supposed
that cities had been buried under it's
sands, at least SO recently as since the
introduction of Mohammedanism.
