The Span Of Life,

In the Middle Ages the average
 span of life was about thirty
 years. The average among civi-
 lized peoples is now about forty
 years. The startling prophecy Ethat man would sometime only
 begin to understand life at one
 hundred does not seem so un-
 reasonable, perhaps, when we
 cons ider the span of life allotted
 ln vegetables and to other ami mals. There exists at the pres- !cnt time in the island of Ceylon a tree which was planted 288 years before Christ. In the sub urb of Athens travellers are shown Inc olive tree of Plato, which is 2,0O0 years old. The planlain tree of IIippocratcs, the athcr of med irinc, is 2.300 years old, while the giant redwood trees of Cali fOrnia are estimated to have lived at least twenty centuries. Tour lists in lIildcshrim. Germany. are never allowed iu pass the famous so-called 'lhousand-year rose bush' in the grounds of the ca thedral. The list of legendary trees might be indefinitely eX- tended and world trees include the chestnuts of Etra, the walnut trees of st. Nicholas in Lorena, the olives of Jerusalem, the yew tree of Yorkshire, England, which are ,OOO, 2,O0O and 2,5O0 years old, and the expresses of Mexico. which are cons iderch the oldest reeS in the world.
 These figures are taken from he data of Dr. Lcgrand. a we'll known French naturalist. He all so points out singular differences in the longevity of animals of varying species. The crocodile and the carp live, he says, 300 years; the elephant and the whale 200; the falcon 150; the parrot and the eagle 100; the lion and he rhinocrruS 60: the goose, common pike and pelican 50: the hart and vullurr 70: the ass, bull and camel 30: he horse 25; the peacock from 23 to 25; the pig. bear, COW. pigeon, eat, dog, deer. wolf. and the fresh water lobster, 20 years: the duck. night ingale. lark. InN and pheasant l5; the canary. and the cricket average TO-: the rabbit lives 8: he sguir- rel and hare :. Insects which undergo melamnrphusiS live usu- ally from one lu two years and there are flies whose span of life is one day. Nature, it will be shown. shows man no special fla Nor or dis favor among the ami maIs. The great epidemics which have disappeared at the edict oI science, together with intelligence in the matter of living. are he chief causes which are favoring and will in the future favor mans longevity.
 English statistics show that women born of large families live to the greatest age. The United StateS census in 1890 showed = women and 3i men over 90 years of age

FORMED BY VOLCANIC ACTION
English Scientist Explains How Won
derfui Grand Canyon Was Born
Millions Of Years Ago.

"How do you explain it ?" inquired
one on meeting Sir John Murray
the eminent English geologist and
president of the English Geographic
cal society. This was briefly the an
swer, though not in his words: "0n
either side of the wide plain extend
ing from so to 100 miles to the
right and left of the canyon, evil
dences of severe volcanic action are
visible. In the center was a plateau.
but you now look upon it as the vast
chasm of the canyon. Thrice the vol
canic forces of nature, operating on
either side, violently and with tre-
mendous power, forced this plateau
upward until finally in one cyclopic,
Tremendous upheaval the plateau
parted, and the Grand Canyon, the
wonder and mystery of the world,
was born. Imagine loaf of dough
rising silently under the continuous
pressure of the yeast until finally the
crust is broken and the loaf divided
in two. Then look at this broken
crust of mother earth. In the early
days a vast area embracing a great
portion of the interior of the Ameri-
can continent was covered with wa
ter. 1t was great sea. All over
the canyon fossil oyster shells proved
this contention. The Grand Can
yon opened, the waters of the inland
sea rushed in a tearing food and
carved the fantastic forms you now
see."
The questioner further inquired of
Sir John, mo doubt this was all
very remote, in the early ages of the
world?'
"Oh, no." said Sir John. "Slod-
ern, quite modern-not more than
twenty or thirty million years ago!'

PLAN SHAM BATTLE
DURING ENCAMPMEnT

Chattanooga, Tenn. July 1f--The
Chattanooga G. A. r. Encampmant
Association Is working on a plan 20
secure a sham battle on one OF the
noted battieheIds OF Chattanooga TO
be fought by two brigades OF regulars
during the September encampment ot
the G. A. r. The point most favored
for the battle is Snodgrass Hill. on
the battlefield OF chickamauga. where
Gems. Thomas. Brannon. steedman
and others checked the advance OF the
Confederate forces and saved the I'm
ion army.
II is believed by the management OF
the local association that such n fea-
tnre would be greatly enjoyed by the
thousands OF old soldiers and en-
campment visitors. and that II would
be superior to the Gettysburg plan.
wherein the old soldiers themselves
went through the performance Of a
mock engagement. marching In the
heat to the summit OF Little Round
Top. the most deadly point In the
Gettysburg slaughter. Instead OF ask
Ing the old soldiers to 90 through this
military evolution. the desire of the
local association is to have Il done by
regular troops and the matter has
been taken up with the war depart
ment at Washington In the hope and
belief that the plan may be approved.
The desire Is that the young men OF
the United States army may furnish
entertainment for the veterans OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic.
Conditions at chickamauga Park
are ideal for sham battle OF the ma
ture described. Tie field is kept in
fine condition. and part OF the force
necessary for the exhibition is already
here. The Eleventh cavalry regiment
Is stationed at Fl. oglcthorpe. and 9TH
cr troops could be brought from n
Mcpherson. only something over q
hundred miles from the battlefield Of
chickamauga- n the plan can be
successfully carried out. and the Chat
tanoosa Eneampment Association has
hopes that II can be. Il will give a
splendid entertainment to the thous-
ands who will visit the encampment

DOG STORIES.

"You know" said the foreigner,
'the dogs attached to the French
army to seek out wounded men on
the battlefield are trained TO carry
some articles from them to the near
est surgeon, while those in the Ger
man army are taught to summon aid
by barking"
"Well, over here" said the Amer
ican, ''our dogs are trained to take
the enemy by the slack of his jeans
and carry him off and dump him in
the nearest creek"
