RECEIVERS LONG LOST WATCH
Eighteen Years in Mill Race and Still
Running?

Penn Van, N. Y.-One lay oiGhteen
years ago W. Henry Townsend, coun-
ty superintendent of the poor, lost a
watch from his pocket. He worked
at TWO tasks that day assisting in
cleaning out a mill race and unload
ing straw. He searched the straw
without finding the timepiece. The
mill race was soon full of water so
that further search could not be made.
A few days ago the race was clean
ed out and a watch was found. Town
send examined it and found in it his
old timepiece. 1t was in excellent
condition after its long rest under the
water
One Of the officials friends asked
him If the watch was still running and
Mr.. Townsend gravely replied that 1t
surely was. 1t was a stem winder, he
said and very likely the action of the
swiftly running water kept it wound
up all these years.

will make it possible to retard or has
ten the growth of human beings was
the statement made by DR.. NJ. w. ia
cobs. He asserted that experiments
with rats have proved that animals
fed on certain proteins for extended
periods maintain a constant weight,
cut as soon as other necessary con-
stituents are added, growth is rcsum-
ed. He cited one instance in which
rat was kept stunted for $50 days, an
age corresponding to about A. years
in human life. By changing the ,'iet
growth was permitted to develop that
would normally have taken place in
youth.
1--WE have ii in our power" said DIR.
Jacobs, ito say whether animal shall
do its growing in youth or old age or
whether it shall have several periods
of growth. This being true, it is not
too much to expect that the ultimate
outcome of such work will be the
