this country,which spent many thou

American soldiers, on their way to

twenty.one of these soldiers to be

that soldiers were entertained for a

RECIPE FOR ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Sought by Skilled Alchemists of All
Ages.
For centuries the alchemists. who
represent the best of medieval science,
bestirred themselves over their grabbed
scrolls and smoky furnaces to find
three precious things-the universal
solvent. the philosophers stone, and
the elixir Of life. Human ideals change
slowly, for all the change in human
environment and language, and power
and riches and length of days still rep
resent the secret wishes of nine men
out OF ten. Bacon, with his usual sa-
gacity, observed that anyone who
progressed to have discovered a way of
putting off old age, or of renewing
youth, would not easily be believed.
But he added that the thing was GER
talnly possible, and that it was much
more likely to be obtained by rules
which the persevering study of nature
would gradually teach mankind, than,
as the alchemists, who were uncon-
ciously founding modern chemistry.
stili hoped, by means of "a very few
drops, or even scruples, of some pre-
cious liquor or quintessence" He was
so far in the fashion, however, as to
give three of the best recipes for the
manufacture of such liquor, though,
with the proviso that 1t was rather
mind than body that these cordiaIs
were likely to affect. One consisted of
potable gold. which there were many
approved ways of making; another
consisted of pearls dissolved In Cleo
patra's manner, or filed down in a
conserve with sweetmeats; a third of
powerful emeralds and pacinths, about
winch ne was prudently not very sure
OBJ asperitatem.
Whatever might have been the vir-
tues OF such nostrums, one thing is
clear-they were hopelessly out of
reach of the ordinary man, and If they
had been efficient the universal lon
gevlty of the rich would have devel-
! oped more complete autocracy than
has yet been known. But none of them
was good, and 1t is only in the New
Atlantis that men have yet discovered
the water of paradise very
sovereign for health and prolongation
of life"
