scholarship and our civilization that
the average life OF man to-day
should be somewhere between 30 and
IS years, says What to Eat. With
all our scientific advance and our
knowledge OF hygiene and sanitation.
we have cut down the life OF man
to nearly one-sixth since the days of
Abraham and Isaac. We have it on
good authority that Abraham lived
175 years and that Isaac died at/the
ripe old age of $50, being full OF
years and of days" Jobs life was
full of trials, boils and vicissitudes.
and yet he was 100 years old when
he gave up the ghost. Prof. Ell
Metchnikoff of the Pasteur institute
has fixed the minimum limit of mans
life at 140 years. Having lived a
natural and scientific life from birth,
indeed, man need not expect to shut
fie off this mortal coil at 140 years.
At that time OF life he will merely
begin to feel himself full of days"
Prof. Metchnikoff shows that mans

to light up the interior to such an ex-

would require SO much time that the
