HOW WE GROW OLD
Dsterlorations OF tho Secrstions OF -
sz11a Body.

Deterioration of tho secrstions Of sAs
sssaa Body.
Anatomical researches respecting the
Influence of age upon the bodily tissues.
have in recent years revealed some very
interesting and important facts. It has
been observed that In consequence Of
advancing age, after niddle life the
capillary vessels Of the body gradually
diminish in number, through the with
ering and obliteration Of many of these
small vessels, until, in advancing age,
the number Of capillaries, and hence
the area, of this portion Of the circu-
lation Is very greatly diminished. An
other change also begins after middle
life, which is of still greater impor-
tsnce. Up to about the age of forty
years, the pulmonary artery, the large
vessel which carries the blood from the
heart to the lungs, Is larger than the
sorta, the vessel by which the blood IL
distributed to the body in general. The
consequence of this excess in size Of
the pulmonary artery over the aorta, ID
. high blood pressure in the lungs, and
consequently a more complete ~purifca-
ton of the blood from its gaseous i'm.
purities than would otherwise occur.
After middle life, the pulmonary artery
decreases in size, and the aorta in
creases. This fact, together with the
increased resistance which the blood
meets in consequence Of the diminished
capacity of the pulmonary vessels, re-
suits in a gradually increasing accumu-
alton of carbonic acid gas in the blood,
which reacts upon every organ and It's
sue in the body, lessenipg its activity,
and causing q deterioration Of every SO.

DIR. GORDON

The readers of the INTELLIGENCER will
remember that last winter a bequest of
something over one hundred thousand
dollars was left to Westminster College at
Fulton, Missouri, by the will of Mr..
Sausser, of Hannibal, Mo.
Under the terms OF this will, the board
of trustees some weeks ago established the
Sausser professorship of Biblical instruc-
ton, and elected the Rev. DIR. Il. G. Cor
don, pastor OF the Presbyterian church in
this city, to I'LL it. To this professorship
was attached the office OF vice-president of
the college. The Rev. DIR. w. IL. Mar
guess, who has been for several years the
president of Westminster, will retain the
position until the will, OF which he is the
sole executor, is executed; but he retires
from the active duties of the presidency,
which for the present devolves by the
action of the board of trustees upon the
incumbent OF the Sausser professorship of
Biblical instruction.
After careful consideration, DIR. Gordon
has decided TO accept the position which
has been rendered him, subject to the
action Of Lafayette Presbytery, with
which he and the Lexington church are
connected. A meeting of that Presbytery
will be held about the close of the present
month, at which time the questions in
volved will be formally decided.
If the P~resbytery accepts DR.. Gordon's
resignation, he will enter upon his new
duties in July. His family will probably
remain in Lexington until August.
