Legislative ChapIdns Long, Time Friends

self-conscious and self-assured; the freshman was self-conscious and self distrustful. During this year they made some pleasant acquaintance on account O, the friendship of the fathers. A few years later Sherrod Soule is fou1d com ing from Oberlin to enter the sophomore class at Amherst college; at the same time Edward P. Aver is entering the freshman class. Soule was in the class of 1885 and Aver in 1886. Here again the two families came into close rela- tionship, Mary Soule, a younger sister in the family, resided for one year in the Aver home with the two brothers and two sisters. During this year Sherrod Soule was often found in the Aver home visiting his sister.
 A very interesting event in the college life of those days was the fall athletic meet in which, oftentimes classes came into close rivalry. Ten husky men from the sophomore and freshman classes
 were chosen to pull in the tug-o'-war be-
 tween the two classes, and this fall Soule was selected for his class team for the sophomore class, and Aver for the team for the freshman class. The freshmen took great interest in the contest, train. ing hard each day for some time, witt the result that they gained an easy vic. tory over the Sophomores. MT. Aver
 is wont to say, humorously, that that
 was the only time he had ever licked Sherrod Soule, and Soule invariably re plies that he has forgotten all about it | The year 1894 finds Edward P. Ayel settled in his first parish at Bethlehem this state, Sherrod Soule having been two years at Naugatuck Here again tht sons of the two old friends are throwr together in the ministers meetings ot the Naugatuck valley, and have many l chats about old times.
 | Both these men have always been very 1 fond of horse flesh, Sherrod Soule hay | ing bred some rather fast colts, while i Edward Aver was always satisfied witl l the capable road horse, owning at thi! time in Bethlehem a Vermont Morgan
 mare. At one of the ministers meet ings in Waterbury Sherrod was heard
 to say to Edward:
 'T drove up from Naugatuck, fvt
 miles, in twenty-five minutes. I expec
 to drive back in twenty"
 i To which Edward replied:
 If my Morgan makes the twelve
 miles home in an hour and a half VI
 shall do well enough.'

Some years after the contact in the Naugutuck valley, we find MT Soule su- perintendent of the Congregational Home Missionary Society of Connecticut and MT. Aver is In his fathers old parish at Mansfield Center. Here Mir. Soule vis- tied in the old parsonage where the fa- thers often visited, and during his sec ond visit of this kind the two men walk ed up the church aisle as their fathers had done fifty years before remarking the fact, which brought to the mind of each tender recollections of the past and the wish that in years to come the boys of these song might also walk up the same aisle H the same way. x In this later visit MT. Soule was sent off with the minister's wife to an after noon service and to see an old lady who had been married by his father fifty ] years before, MT. Soule on this drive 1 held the reins over a whitehead chest nut of the blind ministers careful choos- ing. The horse always gave good ac- count of himself. On his return MT tall chestnut remarking:
 "Why, Ed that horse takes a real interest in the road"
 To which Edward replied, dryly: ''Yes, Sherrod, I always preferred g horse that takes interest in the road "a. ther than in the track" E Both these men trace their ancestry back to the Mayhower. Sou1e to one George Soule of the Maydower group Aver, through his grandmother direct tc Elder Brewster.
 These two friends have been coming together in county and state meetings through all these years of work in tht old state. Now a remarkable coinci- l < gether as chaplains of the senate ant house They are wondering where next they will rub shoulders. It has very likely been in the hearts of these men that if only the fathers could step ir and share the joy of the sons in tht service, their happiness would be com. plete.

RAVhGES OF Old
ACE KEPT At BAY
Prof. Julian Huxley Checks Sem
ility for 19 Generations
Of Worms
REEVES ANCIENT PROBLEM
Elixir of Life So Long Sought in the
Middle Ages Has at Least Been
Found, but, Alas! Only for Flat

LondOn.-Popular interest in the oft.
discussed question whether or not it
is possible to keep old age at bay in.
definitely and correspondingly prolong
the span of life has been revived by
Prof. Julian Huxley of oxford. Jul
liam is a grandson of the great Huxley
and inherits no inconsiderable meas
ure of his talent for painstaking sci
entific research.
"The commOn-SenSe view of the life
cycle, drawn from the observation Of
man and the familiar animals" said
Prof. Huxley, 'is that 1t proceeds al
ways and inevitably in a definite direc-
ton, with a definite plan. The nor
NAL life cycle of man, for instance,
Is as follows: The individual starts
as q minute single cell. then follows
a period of rapid growth, accompanied
by differentiation, then senility, and
finally death, which %supervenes as a
natural phenomenon, eve If not
through disease or accident"
Process Not "lrreversible."
Experiments had shown, however.
that this process as not irreversible,
he said, and was not inevitably sim
liar in all animals; that it was pos
sible to modify the ate of growth
and the length of the period of growth
and thus prolong life.
ut has been shown" Prof. Huxley
continued, that by alternately starv-
ing and feeding planarian flatworms
they can be kept not only within GER
tain definite limits of size, as was to
be expected, but also within certain
definite limits of age. One animal has
thus been kept of the same age-that
is, the same lively activity, the same
form, the same type of behavior-for
a time during which the rest of the
brood have passed through 10 genera
lions; a period which, translated into
human terms, would take us back to
Chaucer. Thus, age does not merely
depend on the lapse of time; it is the
expression of internal processes.
1.-THE elixir of life SO long sought in
the Middle ages has at last been
found-but, alas! only for flatworms.'
Cites Case of Repression.
AS an Illustration of reversal in
mental life Prof. Huxley mentioned
that in some shell-shock and neuralgia
cases the patients revert to an earlier
stage of mental existence, having the
minds of children in the bodies of
adults. 1.-THE most striking case,' he
said, was that of an Australian SOL
der who reverted to the condition of
an infant, unable to walk or talk, and
taking no food except milk. This is
known as mental repression"
Professor Huxley held that numer-
ous other examples showed that the
irreyersibility of the life cycle was
only apparent and that the ordinary
type of life cycle had been adopted
as the most convenient but not as the
only possible method of graphing with
existence. In the case of mammals
the normal life of rats had been pro-
longed about 40 per cent.
Conservation of life process" said
Prof. Huxley in conclusion, has given
way to experiment as the chief meth
cd of research and experiment is lead
ing to CONTROL"
