sense, are lIRe the bright and fragrant flowers of plants; since when their function is accomplished, when seeds are formed, they wither and perish. The business of the animal seems to be, not to live it's own life, but to reproduce its own kind, and the term of life at it's disposal is adjusted accurately to tho special difficulties of this purpose. Weismann and Alfred Russel Wallace suggest that death comes as soon as pos sible after the due number of successors has been prodneed in Crder that each species may always be represented by Q full tale of young and vigorous indivi duals Natural selection acts like a con- tractor who has undertaken to keep window box gay with fresh blossoms; each plant must be removed almost be- fore its flowers fade.
 But our present concern is with the fact rather than with explanation of the fact Taking the needs of reproduction as a master key, we find it unlocking the secrets of inequalities of life. Tho May flies live only a few hours, but their eggs are produced abundantly and have only to be dropped into pools from which their parents, leaving their chrys- ais, sprang into the sunny air. The short lived moths and butterflies simi- larly are untroubled by family cares When the eggs haye to be deposited on common and abundant food plants the females need and possess few hours ill which to accomplish their easy task. The males, on the other hand, have to fly about seeking and sometimes fight ing for possession of the females, and to them longer life is allotted, But terfies and moths that live for moro than few days arc those whose cater pillars require a rarer food plant, a more carefully chosen nursery and feed ing ground The females have to fly about seeking convenient spots for their offspring, and the eggs, instead of ripen- ing and being deposited simultaneous ly. are laid from day to day until the full tale be accomplished. In many tribes of bees the males play their part but once, and that during the nuptial flight of tho queen. Immediately after ward they die or shortly after arc killed by the workers. The queens, secluded i'll the middle of the hivo, produce crops of workers year after year, and so their lives are prolonged.
 Among the birds and beasts parental cares have brought length of days with them. The small singing birds are rapid breeders, sometimes producing five or sex nestlings twice year, but their enemies are equally numerous, and de spite the constant attention of the male and female play such havoc with the young that hardly in 20 years will Q pair rear up young enough to maintain the species. Birds like pheasants and fowls are still more prolific, but old and young like are preyed upon by null titude of enemies The birds of prey are slow breeders Their active flight makes 1t impossible that the females should carry with them q burden of developing eggs, and in their long lives they leave behind them no more progeny than quicker breeding, shorter lived crea- 1 lures Saturday Review.

THE SPANS OF LIFE.
DIFFERENCES OF DURATION IN MEN
 AND ANIMALS.

One of the Shortest Is that of the May
 phant's-Among Insects the Period of
 Adult Life Varies Greatly.
 An essay of Weismann, charming and profound and written before the obseasion of logical theory had car ried him into arid metaphysics, dis eussed the duration of life i'll men and animals. To many. perhaps to most, living things death comes unexpected ly, with an ironical indifference to the period of the animals life or to it's bus mess of the moment. Tho man may be preparing to be merry; the bird may be a-building, the butterfly not yet dry from the chrysalis, when they arc fallen upon by blind misehance, by enemies intent only on dinner or by minimizing microbes Confronted by such eXtrinsio accidents, mon cry ont after their kind, the poet attuning an intellectual lam ! entation, the moralist preaching, the : pagan urging to the day of pleasure, Z but the naturalist must be dumb. His Opportunity comes with tho animals that avoid or escape colliding fates, and that yet after fixed period run down like clock The seeds of deaths appar- ently havo been lying inert i'll the body and come te fatal maturity after lapse of time that varies little among lndl- viduals of the same species, but that Is widely different amoLg different kinds of animals.
 Threescore and ten is the natural period of mans life. The elephant will live 200 years, tho horse but half con- tury. Singing birds and fowls and pheas- ants will live for nearly 20 years, but parrots, eagles, falcons and swans are known to survive their century. Some Hive through nearly two centuries. Queen ants and working ants may live for years Sir John Lubbock kept a queen ant alive for 1 3 years, during all which period she continued to lay fer tile eggs, but tho males live. only few days Queen bees live two or three years; workers and drones few months, although indeed in one sense the death of tho latter is unnatural, as the work CTS drive them away from the stores of food, so that they perish of starvation. Among insects generally the period of adult life varies greatly. Many, like the May flies, dance in tho sun only for few hours; the sexos meet, the eggs are deposited and the creatures die be- fore nightfall Many butterflies and moths are unproyided with feeding or gans and live only a few hours, others for many days
 Leaving out of count certain minor factors. like the time required for grow ing to larger size and the slower growth of animals that must waste time and energy in capturing living food, It is certain that there is an intimate con- nection all through the animal kingdom between the duration of lifo and the reproductive habits.
