These facts were decided yesterday by
Corporation Counsel Conrad H. Syme
in his report to the Commissioners on the
request Of Brig. Gen. William Z. Har-

Guard, for information on this point
Gen. Harvey commended that the law Of

of all the citizens.
The corporation counsefs report does
not mean that every able-bodied man be-

become an active member of the guard
The practical result of the enforcement
OF the law will be merely to keep Gen
Harvey provided with a full list Of all

METCHNIKOFF'S THEORY.

the subject from a scientific basis seem
to have demonstrated
Indeed, so long ago as the seventeenth
century, there lived a man in England
who reached an unbelievable age, a CEN
fury and a half and over. His peculiar
fame reached the king, who sent for
him that he might learn the secret of his
long life; but alas, the old mans stay
In London was short, and an autopsy
made by the celebrated Harvey discov-
erer of the circulation of the blood, dis
closed the fact that death was due to
the change from the poor fare of sub
rancid cheese, milk and black bread,
and pure fresh country air, on which
he had been bred, to the rich food and
smoke-laden atmosphere OF London.
1t will be said that zone swallow does
not make a summer No. but this one
case does demonstrate most forcibly the
pith of Metchnikoff's contention that our
days are shortened by the putrefactive
changes in the intestinal tract, and II we
could eliminate tie toxins distributed
throughout the body in consequence OF
alimentary fermeptations. we would have

Upon what does Metchnikofr base his

on account OF their daily use of sour

harmless. In other words, the large in
