CHANCES OF LONG LIFE.
We Should Fear the Fear of Death
Not Death Itself.
Literary Digest


We should be afraid of the fear OF death
not OF death itself. If we follow this rule
there Is no reason why We should not all
become centenarians-so we are told in the
Revue d Economic Politique by NJ. Jean
Finot. This author begins an article on
the limitations OF life by mentioning some
traditional long lives. Among these cases
are those of a resident OF Goa, who is said
TO have reached his 400th year I'm the en-
joyment Of all his intellectual faculties; a
Scotchman who lives TO be over 200 years
old and various monks OF Mont Athos
who have reached 80 years He asserts
that Servian statistics for 1897 show three
persons between 135 and 10 years old
eighteen from l26 10 lS5, 123 from lis 10 l25
and go from los 10 lis. In 1890 there were
he says. in the United States. 1881 persons
over 100 years old. and twenty-one in
London NJ Finot cites a mathematical
formula which he credits 10 Dr. Richard
son, by which any one may get an idea
OF his probable length OF life. II is only
necessary TO add the ages OF ones father
and mother TO those OF ones two grand
fathers and two graadmOthers and the
total divided by six indicates the exact
number OF years one should live NJ
Finot does not believe that the average
length of human life has been reduced
on the contrary. he believes that IL Is con-
stantly increasing. owing 10 the progress OF
hygiene. Why do we grow old al all? The
writer answers.
For three reasons: Cd Want OF physical
exercise In the open air; 90 poisoning by
microbes. which the phagocytes have not
succeeded in destroying: 80 fear OF DEATH
