LONGEVITY.
Reasons for the Increasing Length Of
Human Life.


From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Two prominent French scientists. inves-
tigating the question Of centenarians, nave
reached the apparently inconsistent and
and contradictory conclusion that while the
human race lives longer, it does not reach
as old an age as formerly. The average
duration Of human life-what is technically
called the expectation of life-is much
greater than it ever was before and is
steadily increasing, thanks to improved
sanitation, better medical treatment, bet
ter nursing and generally better care. but
at the same time there are fewer centen-
arians, and men do not reach the extreme
old age they did a century or five centuries
ago The reason given by the scientists for
this apparent contradiction Is that the san
itary improvements made, the care and
nursing Of the sick have diminished or low
cred the vitality or constitution Of the hu-
man race by keeping alive by almost ar
tificial means the weak and defective men,
bers Of the community.
In Olden times the weaker persons per-
ished early, and generally died before
reaching puberty. The Darwinian system
of the survival of the fittest elimina ted
them and the population was preserved
through those of stronger physique, whose
vigorous constitutions were able to resist
all the unsanitary surroundings and the
diseases that lurked everywhere. AS
consequence the average individual who
survived childhood in the middle ages was
of more vigorous growth than he is today,
when, thanks to sanitariums, doctors and
nurses, the most feeble, thin blooded scor-
butte child may be nursed to manhood, to
become the father of a family which per-
petuates his maladies, and in time spreads
his constitutional weaknesses throughout
the community.
In Sparta Of old 1t will be remembered
all weak or delicate children were exposed
by the state on Mount Taygetus, to be de-
voured by wild beasts. The result was to
eliminate the weak and feeble and to es-
tablish one Of the sturdiest and most Wig
races in the world. A still more strik-
Ing instance Of this, however, Is seen in
China, where, according to Martin, the best
authority on the subject the physical vigor
of the Chinese has survived amid the men,
tai. moral and Industrial decay of the ma
tion only because Of the unsanitary condi-
tion OF the country. The insanitation Is so
great that 1t kills off millions yearly. The
delicate perish miseraby amid conditions
that are almost tntolerable. The survivors
represent the stronger constitutions that
can resist the filth and poisons that sur
of the Mongolian race. which has in the
last ten centuries declined in every respect
except physique.
These are the facts upon which the
French scientists base their belief that
while men live longer than they did they
do not reach as great age. That they do
live longer we know from the reports Of the
census and the insurance companies The
late census would indicate that the people
Of the United States have added five years
to their average human age in this coun-
try in the last decade; and the expectation
twice as great as 1t was a hundred years
ago.

PATENT FOODS.
They Are Delusions and Snares, What
ever Their Pretentions.

From the London Telegraph.
In a lecture delivered before the South.
west London Medical Society, DR. Robert
Hutchison has been doing his best to smash
some popular idols. He asks at the outset
what is the necessity for patent foods at
all, and, although he admits that there are
certain scientific conditions which might
justify their existence, he proceeds roundly
to declare that mot one Of them is worth
the money asked for it." In one much-used
food there are six units OF energy for A
shilling. In another nine. and in another
sixteen and half. while in a shillingis
worth of meat there are 511, of eggs. LOGS;
of milk. 3.440. and OF sugar nearly 5000. -
Even in the matter Of mpactness, says
DIR. Hutchinson. artificial foods. as given TO
the patient, do not compare fayorably with
many natural foods. For example, If Il is
a question OF giving sugar. a pound OF
honey, at 3D., is a better source Of sugar
than pound of malt extract at IS. Again,
take cod liver oil emulsions, as a means Of
administering fat. "In cream you get a
more valuable substance, because ordinary
cream contains more than 80 per cent OF
fat, and butter fat is easily digested and
absorbed as the fat of cod liver oil, besides
being much more palatable and considers
ably cheaper. ~
There are emulsions OF lard. but they are
no richer in fat than butter, which cons
tains so per cent. Again, there are other
foods, combining fat and carbohydrates. or
sugar. which cost Sd. or Sd. for two ounces
but chocolate contains more of both ana
common Everton coffee consists of equal
quantities of fat and carbohydrate without
water. So the doctor goes on. saying griev-
GUS things Of many products We look on
with great respect, but he observes for the
comfort Of the manufacturers that human
nature Is the same as in the days when
Naaman, the ieper. refused to bathe In
Jordan, considering the cure too simple.
"If you tell a man to drink milk or to take
any ordinary food he Will probably pay no
heed to your advice, but IL you tell him -
take so-and-so's patent food, which he has
some trouble to get, and for which he has
to pay a good deal. then he will diligently
take large quantities of II, and boast that
he Is doing So" At the same time. there Is
no doubt that in the vastly complex chem
leo physiological problems of diet there is
a place for patent foods. and, as the doctor
admits. from the mere point of view OF
faith they will often be more valuable than
more commonplace remedies

Cholera in Egypt seems as deadly as the
same disease has been in the Philippines.
In Cairo and at other points where the pes
thence is epidemic the proportion OF deaths
to tho whole number Of cases is extremely
high. just as # has been in Manila and
neighboring towns of Luzon. In both coun-
tries the victims have been chiefly natives,
but there have been good physicians avail
able to treat g. fair share of the cases, and 1t
appears that medical science Is nearly as
type as It was half a century ago. The
gains have been in sanitation and In the

FUTURE OF MODERN ARMIES.
French Government Would Reduce
Term Of Service.

From the London Spectator.
The dispute now raging in France over
the government proposal to reduce the term
Of compulsory service in barracks to two
years is one, as we believe. of extreme Sig
nif1cance. France being at once the most
military of nations and the one most sus-
ceptible to new ideas, her example is almost
sure, sooner or later. to persuade Europe:
and it seems almost certain that she in
tends this example should be set. The older
generals, it is true. and probably a majority
Of the officers. are bitterly against the
scheme. They say that the French char
dience, and that it takes at least three
years to bring the conscript to the neces-
sary attitude Of mind. He has not the Ger
man 8 reverence for superiors, or the Ger
mans habit OF Difference toward all who are
legally entitled to give orders. They doubt
If he will remain to be a non-commissioned
officer, and ask, with q persistence that
rather disconcerts the treasury, where, If
the sous-oft1cier Is to be retained by higher
pay the money is to come from.
They see that the socialist idea of sub
stituting the Swiss system of trained militia
for that Of regular armies gains ground
yearly among the peasantry, and they be-
lieve that 1t will be directly promoted by
the abolition of exemptions. which will rem
der the entire cultivated class, who now to
the number of 81 600 serve only for one
year, bitterly hostile to barrack life The
consequence. they predict, will be a further
general reduction to one year, and then the
adoption of the Swiss system of an armed
militia trained as soldiers for six months
only, and though excellent for defense, use
less for conquest, or, indeed. for any work
beyond the frontiers. The colonies they as
sert. under such a system must be given up,
and the foreign policy OF France placed
upon an entirely new basis and directed to
unthought-of ends. They fear. too, we
fancy, though they keep back this argu-
ment. that the soldiers, being less of
caste. will be less willing to put down riot
ers, and that the populace viii regain that
fright of revolt" which has been SO nearly
extinguished by the adoption Of scientific
weapons,

New Zealand Glover.

From the Chicago News.
In New Zealand red clover could not be
successfully grown until bumblebees were
imported and acclimated. These insects by
fertilizing the flowers through moving from
one to another have changed the island
from an annual importer of red clover seed
to a large and increasing producer and ex-
porter, thus opening a new and valuable
source of wealth to the colony. =
