The Pro1ongntion of Life.

The centuries-long search for the means
of securing perpetual, or at least extend
ed youth, is still being prosecuted by the
scientists. DR.. Moutier of Paris, studying
the rigidity of the arteries, which is
characteristic of advanced life, has by
specially constructed electrical apparatus
been able to reduce the increased pres
sure of the blood which accompanies the
arterial changes and thus restore normal
conditions, which continue permanently.
The same treatment has also been sue
cessfully used in the treatment of patients
affected with neurasthenia..
Ellie Metchinkof, Pasteur's successor in
the famous Pasteur Institute at Paris, in
a book entitled, ''The Prolongation of
Life" published by G. P. Putnam's Sons,
argues that much of the shortening of life
and the pain of old age is due to a
poisoning of the tissues through putre-
faction of the intestinal tract, which NAV
be counteracted by certain acids, chiefly
that existing in sour milk, in confirmation
of which he instances the long life of
some races which live mainly on such
1det.

dusk Of the evening, and the noise pro.
duced by the heavy tapping OF the so
called wings is very singular. The
focks like quiet places, where there
are large nraucarlan pine trees, with
an underwood of scrub and creepers.
The foxes hang In great numbers from
horizontal branches of the pine trees.
When there Is clear space among
the trees an enormous number of the
animals may be SEEN and their noise
can be heard, for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark,
something like the sound made by
young rocks. Often every branch is
crowded, and the young foxes are seen
either Tapping their wings and holding
on with their hind feet and with their
heads downward, or snarling and fight.

Suddenly the whole take to flight
and flap their furry, wingllke sides and
wheel around like heavy birds, Many
fly with their young holding or to

The creature is not true fox, and
there is n fold Of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs. This is
called the wing, and 1t enables the
Dteropus, as the animal Is called, to
float and turn in the air.

Beat O'Leary's Walking Record In
the WiIds of Alaska.
The feat of O'Leary in walking 1,0OC
miles in 1000 hours has reminded the
officers of the Fourth Infantry of q
feat accomplished by Captain Joseph
G. Cashier, of that regiment, who beat
O'Leary's record by about two miles
per day in the wilds of Alaska. In
other words, Captain Cashier, who was
then lieutenant of the Fourth Infan-
try, walked a distance Of 1875 miles
in fifty-two days, an average Of TWEEN
| ty-six miles per day. The story of the
hardships undergone by Lieut.. Cashier
during an exploring expedition in the
years 189S-99 Is one Of thrilling and in
tense interest. On June 6, 1898, he
Joined an exploration expedition sent
out by the government to find a pass
through the Alaskan Mountain range,
Of which Mount Mckinley, the highest
peak in America, forms a part. Start
ing from the northwestern part of
Alaska Lieutenant Cashier and two
privates Of the Fourteenth Infantry
started In a southeasterly direction
across an unexplored country, finally
arriving at the Yukon River, near the
mouth Of the Tanana River, Oct. II,
1898, having traversed a distance of
nearly 1000 miles.
1t was a ragged and forlorn party
that was taken in charge by band of
Tanana Indians at that point nd feted
on moose meat and other delicacies.
Lieutenant Cashier was delirious by
reason of the privatlons and hardships
he endured. For six days the party
had lived on nothing but wild cram
berries, as even the rose apple, which |
had formed portion of their diet |
with what game they could kill. had |
become inaccessible on account of the |
deep snow.
At an early stage of the journey
Lieutenant Cashier and the two sol
diers had lost their firearms and blan-
kets while floating on a raft down
stream. A low tree had brushed the
members of the party and all their eff
