made the first complete English YER
sion Of the Bible, nor Luther the first
complete translation Of the Book,
Washington could not have become

In fact in long list DR.. Dorland
shows how between the ages of so and
60 years were accomplished the

Hershel, Peel, Canning, Edmund
Burke, Warren Hastings, Garibaldi,
DR.. Leidy, Button, Darwin, Cuvier,
Huxley, Herbert Spencer, Hugh Mil
Ter, Saint Simon, Calico, John Will,
Adam Smith, Macaulay, Diderot, Tyn-
dali, Reynold, Velasquez da Vinci,
Gainsborough, Romney, Titan, Mil
ton, Dante, Corot, Landseer, Dumas,
Hugo, Dickens, Scott, Bach, Handel,
Haydn, Verdi, Wagner, Guizot, Ben
jamin West, Franklin, Constable,
Rubens, Michael Angelo, Aristotle,
Plato, Goethe, the great historian
Gibbon, Edison, Sterne, Swift, Mar
shall Tuvenne, Lamartine, Machiavelli,
John Wanamaker, A. T. Stewart, J.
Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie,
A. j. Drexel, Commodore Vanderbilt

Not only have the greatest achieve
ments been accomplished by men over
so years Of age, but many have been
accomplished by men over so, over 70
and even over 80 years Of age, and it
would probably interest Mr.. Box to
know that between the ages Of 60 and
70 years Napier revolutionized mathe-
matics, Levernier reversed the plane
tary theories, Butcher and Moltke won
their greatest battles, Beecher wrote
his greatest sermons, Cardinal New
man his Apologize, Grote his history Of
Greece, Hilman his history of Latin
Christianity, Michelet his history Of
France, Audubon his natural history,
Pasteur his work on hydrophobia,
Cervantes his "Don Quixote," Butler
hi. Hudilvas, John Adams was Presi-
dent Of the United States, Crispi
Prime Minister Of Italy, Disraeli and
Gladstone Prime Ministers Of Eng
land, Monroe promulgated the Monroe
doctrine, Michael Angelo painted his
Last Judgment" Turner his Eight
ing Temeraire," Benjamin West his
Christ Healing the Sick" Bancroft
wrote his great history, Haydn COM
posed his Creation" and Wagner his
'Nibelung Ring"
All these and many others, includ-
ne our own Daniel Webster and
Henry Clay, were strong personalities
n the decade from 60 to 70, and any q,
that they should retire
rom active work in favor of younger
men would have been ridiculed.
In conclusion, since DR.. Dorland
made his exhaustive investigation the
world has passed through great
var. Suppose all officials and gen.
srals over so years of age had been
