From 100 to the War Of the Rev.
olution Nantucket was famous as a
whaling port. For a time it held first
rank and in 1926 shore whaling
reached its highest mark Of Sc whales
having been taken that year. Some
years later whaling fleets were sent
out to distant points off Newfound-
land, the West Indies, Cape Verde is
lands. and even to Brazil, and the
business was one of large gain de-
spite the danger from French and
Spanish privateers. In ITS the Nam
tucket fleet numbered $50, and the
population then was nearly 5000, and
all save meager ten per cent. OF
them were Quakers. BY 1885 the fleet
had been shattered, 1874 ships having
been destroyed or captured during the
War Of the Revolution.

POSSIBILITY OF LONG LIFE
Discoveries Made by Scientists Tend
Always TO Stay the Advance OF
the Grim Reaper.

Trees live to be thousands OF years
old, crocodiles live TO be hundreds and
some fish 1.-Two to be $50. Why, then.
should human life be so brief? II
there were no fatal or wearing dis
eases, and men and women took life
as easy as a tortoise or a cypress,
what effect would their changed hab-
its have on their length OF days?
Metchnikoff, who sent thousands to
the buttermilk counter by his saying
that q certain element in that drink
destroyed some OF the germs which
hasten old age. seems to think that
there is not In human beings a nat
ural or inherent tendency to decay.
But Metchnikoff would not have the
scientist aim simply at multiplication
OF years; the great aim should be not
to prolong the age of certain individ
rals for the sake OF making a great
showing. but to increase the general
length OF life to be expected by men
and women Of thirty years. SO that.
instead of dying at or before sixty
five years, they may live to be 100
and live in the enjoyment OF their
faculties.
1t would profit US but little If we
should live to be as old as Methuse-
lah, if we had to suffer like Job, espe-
cially when so few of US have Jobs
patience.
The present obstacles to the realiza-
ton of the happy, long-lived race of
men and women are said to be the
wearing out Of the teeth, too great
waste Of the nerve cells of the brain
and spinal cord, the hardening OF the
arteries, the failure Of the gland cells
of kidney and liver and the breaking
down of certain muscular cells.
To arrest the decay thus caused
is the problem that is now engaging
the attention of the advanced special
ist. Already the scientist has taken a
long stride toward the accomplish
ment of that purpose. He has discov-
cred some of the poisons which. when
taken into the human system. injure
the sensitive tissues.
All specialists agree that science
will yet discover feasible means of
vanquishing disease and preventing
accidents to the tissues Of sensitive
organs.

The calorimeter is valuable In
