LONG LIFE

Much has made of the of John She'll who died
recently after having lived than half century beyond
the limit of by the psamist And certainly
it was conspicuous achievement to have protraced his
existence to length of 34 That record deserves
recognition biological fact if for other And
it bespeaks vitality compared with which the vgor of our
champion athletes is insignificant.
Yet there indication that Shells length of days
meant much to him. He lived primitive life in obscur
ty and doutess in duness for almost the whole of that
period
While his country born and grew to maturity and
mighty among the nations of the earh and science
made wonderful progress than had made previously
in 1000 and and great books were
written and buildings erected and great pictures
painted and great music composed and the whole face of
civilized life changed John Shell continued to dwell in
his mountain hut following the simple routine of life,
seeing people and thinking few thoughts with the days
years rolling along almost like another until life
itself must have become long montony. Life might
have bored She'll but very likely his mind not active
enough to suffer boredom.
"We live in Deeds not years. We live in thought,
feeling experience and achievement. Many man still
young has lived incomparably longer than John She'll

rarely inspired to spread their mighty wings AS for the
other places visited photograph painting statue

in the city where eke representation of the eagle
found is the Bureau of Printing and Engraving There
is admitted he is found imaginable for there

All this is probably very reprehenble but somehow it
fails to excite most of 1t important to learn
whether not the eagle is holding its in the wild
places which its native haunts before civilization with
its destructive tendencies began to this con
nent In recent years there have been that the
American eagle in danger of extinction It's protec
tion has sought by who appreciate the value of
such conservation Doeos anyone know offhand whether
that protection has been given and whether it is proving

Proposals to use the power of the
tides are seldom taken seriously. That
there is an enormous power IN them IS
admitted, but as nc, one has ever been
able to run machinery with it save on
a small scale, the average man thinks
that no one ever will be able to util-
ize the power on large scale. A sim
liar view prevailed for "A long time re-
garding the practieability OF a rotary
steam engine, but inventors kept at 1T,
and now turbine engines drive steam
ships across the ocean at greater
speed than was ever before possible. In
like manner, it is thought, someone
will discover how to harness the tides
and make them do his bidding. A
group of men, even now, believe that
they have the secret, for they are plan
ming to dam the rivers which empty
into the Bay of Fundy and to place IN
the dam motors to be operated by the
terrific rush Of the waters that pour
in and out of these streams every day.
AS the difference between low tide and
high tide is so feet or more along the
bay, it is evident that the power de-
veloped is enormous.
