ReYeralnn NntuHa.

The reversibility of the physical proc
esses Of nature has latterly been the
subject Of interesting comment Lord
Kelvin, for example, has been credited
with saying that all Of them, no matter
how complex they might appear to the
human senses, consist III reality of the
motions Of invisible molecules, and if,
therefore, by some means. all these
molecules could, ut tho same time, be
made to move IN exactly the opposite d.
reetion. and each with the same velocity
that 1t possessed at the moment, all the
world would begin and continue to move
backward; waterfalls would flow up the
sides OF cliffs, rivers would run upward
from the sen, rain would rise, full blown
flowers would shrink into buds and
plants dwindle into seedlings man him
selfwould become young again, passing
from OLD age to infancy. Just what kind
Of pictures such topsy-tnrvy world
would present may be seen with kinet-
oscope running backward, Professor
Qperoult, according to report, has made
observations In this line, and some tinie
ago communicated them to the Erenoh
Academy Of Science. ---Cassier's Maga-

The Marriage Market.
From the London Spectator. I

From the London SPECTATOR
We once ventured to assert in
these pages that the day before the
end of the world two SUBJECTS would
be sure to be under universal dis
cussion ono was "the degeneracy of
manner during the last thirty years."
and the other "the badness OF mod
ern servants" We depicted, that is,
mans lest word on mankind, as
"The younger generation don't know
how to behave" and "Where will
you find any servants like the old
oneY" We ought to have added a
third 49, the complaint that the
fashionable world if nothing but a
marriage market in which, unfortu-
ma ate girls are exposed for sale to the
highest bidder by their cruel heart
less, and avaricious mothers. It was
a grave oversight to have left out
that extremely hardy perennial
among complaints ancient and mod
ern. There never was IN age in
which the marriage market ac-
cusation was not made, again and
again and there probably never will
be,one. 1t would pe preposterous to
expect otherwise.

The Longevity OF Woman.
(From tho Baltimore Sum-

A report from tho office of the
Registrar general Of England shows
that there are moro female than
malc centenarians. Out Of million
people 225 women reach the age Of
100 years, whQe only 80 men rouLd
out tho century. Now tho great
conundrum which is proposed is,
Why is this SO? According to tho
popular superstition, it takes much
longer for the woman to reach even
tho age Of 80 than it takes for man
to reach that age. If this is true, it
makes tho showing all the moro re-
markable. 1t has even been asserted
that association with women makes
n man live longer, as shown by tho
fact that the average life of the mar
ried man is longer than the average
life Of the single man. The fact,
however, is denied by the endman at
the minstrels, who says that the life
of the married man is not really
longer, but only seems so.
So fur there is no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the original proposition
why more women live TO be hun
dred. Some say it is because women
are less addicted to tobacco and
strong drink, others say thatit is be-
cause it is moro healthy to spend
money than it is to earn it, and so
on. 1t may be many of the men who
would live to be hundred are killed
at IN early age in casualties to
which women are not exposed. It
may be that tight lacing is a life
preserver, and it may be not a fact,
after all. Possibly the English reg-
istrar general may be mistaken. The
situation is replete with possibili-
ties.
