ANNOUNCEMENT
EDlSON'S 18th

The days Of a mans life are three
score years and tcn".-We have il so
from holy writ and we have harbored
the rotiou that after man reaches
this age, and if "by reason Of strength
they be forcScorc', he is a natural
down-and-outer, ready for the human
junk heap, which runs under the name
OF homes for the infirm or something
equally as inviting in sound, One
scientist even went so far, less than
a score Of years back, to advocate a
help to the Divine Power in dealing
with all who have reached this age
limit, and seem inclined to extend it
by reason Of their strength to a few
years more by quietly and painlcssly
removing them from this mundane
sphere by administering an effective
dose Of cboloroform, and thus making
way for those behind. Needless to
say that he met with little cnthusi-
asm, from either the thrcc-scorcrs
or those by whom they were cherish
ed.
But just ]supposing his theory had
met with applause, and all people at
the cnfcebling age Of sixty should
have been quietly helped out Of the
way what a wonderful light Of gen
ius would have been snuffcd out in
