Longevity Calculations.

According to Bu6on, the LIE OF man
"can" last SIX times az long az It takes
him to become fully developed; 40
cording to Bacon and Hudand, eight
times as long. Now, since man 10 moi
considered In tho anatomical sense
completely mature before the twenty
fifth year of age, his life, according to
the last named two authorities
could" last 200 years. But, as mat
ter Of fact, outside the Bible, there Is
no record whatever of such long lives
Among the extraordinary cases of long
evlty. on record and we'll attested if
that Of the Englishman, Thomas Parr
who lived happily at Shropshire tc
the age Of 152 years. The celebrated
Harvey, who dissected him after death
found his body In excellent condition
and stated that had it not been fol
his intemperanoe he might have Lived
much longer. A census taken undea
Emperor Vespassin showed IN the
relatively small territory Of Italy
alone 80 persons over 100 years old
and among these are two had reach
ed the age Of 40. The census Of the
United States for 1900 shows 1881
centenarians, and that for 1910 $500
(males 1,271, females. 2,333). Those
figures have only q dubious value, and
merely because tho vanity Of some
old people causes them to claim their
age much higher than It really d.
but for the fact that the majority OF
these oentenarians are ignorant per.
sons (2,633 negroes, iii Indians and
three Mongolians), whose statements
~ to their ages cannot be relied upon
