EXAMPLES OF LONGEVITY.

Among the examples Of moderationi in
diet, Miguel Soils of San Salvador is
conspicuous. He was according to the
Lancet, one hundred and eighty years
old in 1878, and if he is still to the fore,
is likely to complete his second centu-
ry. He believed that he had lived so
long because he had never eaten more
than one meal day. Even in that he
limited himself to what he could tuck
in during the short space of half an
hour. He therefore was living argu-
ment against those hygienists who
bid us eat slowly and masticate well.
His diet was chiefly vegetable, meat,
which was always cooked the day be-
fore, entering into it only twice
week. For two days in every month
he tasted, and he drank large quanti-
ties of water. His plan included seve-
raj other details and, on the whole. we
of the three-score and ten can, without
envy, wish him joy.
Macklin, the comedian, who lived
and died in Covent Garden, was won
derful oddity, in virtue of which--or
perhaps in spite Of which-he managed
to get through one hundred and seven
years. He followed the wise and sim
pie rule of eating when hungry, drink
ing when thirsty, and sleeping when
sleepy. All these he did on a liberal
scale. He never took off his clothes
except for the purpose of having his
body rubbed all over with brandy. He
always slept in blankets, and history
does not record a single journey on
their part to the laundress. And his
couch, which was hard, was placed in
the middle of the room.
What is most strange about longevi-
ty is that it comes, like the dew of
heaven, to every class. Kings who live
in luxury, beggars who go through ex-
istence in a safe of chronic cold and
hunger, giants and cripples, abstain
ers and drunkards, large eaters and
small eaters, toilers and sluggards,
brain-workers and body-workers, veg
etarans and carnivores, smokers and
non-smokers, sane and insane-all
have apparently an equal chance of
the prize of long life. An old woman

hundred and twelve was all her life a

as an ordinary family of five. 1t was
also an American who grew new and
fine set of teeth at the age of one hun
dred and six years for the purpose of
eating three pounds of pork, three
pounds of bread and a vast quantity of
cabbage on the day when he gave up
the ghost. On the other hand a Shore
ditch barber, who died aged one hun
bred and five, never drank anything
but water and ate only once day. A

bles, which kept his machine running,
and in perfect order, for one hundred

secretary of the national Republican
committee, who did most effective work

be left unturned to maintain the pres

known as a fighter who never gives

bureaus. There will be the literary,
speakers, foreign, press, home, state

will have a man in charge who will be

PERH'O RATED SAILS.

A thoughtless person would say at
once that sail perforated so as to let
through a part of the wind blowing
against it would not be as useful as a
sail without holes, but that would only
show what thoughtlessness is. A strong
argument is made for perforated sails
that perforated sails have long been in
use by italian sailors and are being
adopted in Spain and England. M.
Vassalo, an italian writer on the sub
ject, finds the speed of vessels consid-
erably increased by use of sails that
will let part of the wind out. He has
made a study of the size and location
of the holes to secure the best results.
Mr. de Parville thinks it is easy to ac-
count, on general principles, with lit
tie reflection, for the influence of the
holes on the increase of a ships speed.
Several theories have already been ad-
vanced on the subject, but it may all be
simply explained. In the ordinary sys-
tenn the wind rushes against the con-
cave surface that is opposed to it; the
currents of air bound back and hinder
the full action Of the currents that fol-
low. Thus counter pressure is set
up, and the work of the wind is only
that due to the difference between its
initial pressure and the counter-pres-
sure thus produced. To increase the
effective work this counter pressure
must be reduced to a minimum. that
is to say, a means of escape must be
given to the air that accumulates in
the sail. The aperture solves the ques-
ton. For an analogous reason, rudders
made of badly joined planks are used,
especially in China, to allow the excess
of water to pass. The water acts as a
cushion. and binders the movement of
the rudder, but the effect is lessened by
permitting the liquid to escape. Every
time that an obstacle tends to lessen
the speed of air OF water there is him
drance and contemporaries. If this
retardation is avoided we gain in pow
err; the result is increased. That is
what is gained by perforating the sails.
1t is evident that if holes in sails are
to be useful they must be in the proper
places. In square sails Captain Vas
salo made two holes at the base, six or
eight inches wide, and their distance
from the points Of attachment was four
to seven feet. In jibs and other TRAN
gular sails there was but one hole The
action of the perforations is double in
the case of square sails oblique to the
wind. The leeward hole relieves the
sail of the dead air that keeps it back,
and the windward hole allows the air
that accumulates in front of the sail
to pass through.

1t is hard work to keep up the big
English estates. For example, look at
the Savile estates in Motifs and Derby
shire. At one time they brought in
100000 year, but have probably suf-
fered more heavily from succession du-
ties than any other estate in England,
as they have changed hands three
times in fifteen years through the
deaths of Henry Savile, Augustus Sa-
vile and Lord Savile, and on each occa-
sion the heaviest rate of succession du-
ty has been payable, because each new
owner was not legally related to his
predecessor On the present occasion
the heir of Lord Savile will have duties
amounting to over S1,000,000 to pay.
