Has Renewed Youth.

Biologists the world over are at
tempting to promote longevity, while
in London there is man who mocks
at the groupings Of science. He is
ninety-eight years old, and has grown
not only third set of teeth, but also
has new eyesight. Up to last year he
was forced to eat soft foods and wear
glasses, now, with his newly devel-
opened teeth and eyesight he may eat
the toughest steak and read the small
est type, without spectacles. Carroll,
the great medical experimentalist.
says that 1t would be possible for man
to grow new tissues, eyes, teeth, thy
roid glands, If they could manage to
live to the age Of about one hundred
and twelve. Although he is only nine
ty-eight, the Londoner has commenced
to develop brand new tissue. The only
physical defect from which he suffers
is poor hearing.

"TeaD From cassina plant.

Laboratory investigations by the bu-
reau of chemistry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. have shown
that very delightful beverage resem-
bling tea in many respects can be made
from cassina, wild plant that grows
abundantly in the South Atlantic and
Gulf states from Virginia to Texas,
when the leaves Of the plant are treat
ed by processes similar to those used
in curing tea. The cassina plant has
been used to limited extent by In
dams and, during the Civil war when
tea and coffee could not be obtained,
by people Of the Southern states, to
make beverage. Unless properly
cured, however, cassina does not make
a good beverage.
1t having been demonstrated in the
laboratory that cassina could be treat
ed by processes similar to those used in
the tea industry and an excellent bev-
erage made from it, work has been UNI
dertaken to produce it on larger scale.
An experimental plant has been in
stalled near Charleston. S. c., and pre-
liminary reports indicate that the labo-
ratory results can be duplicated on a
commercial scale.

WHERE DEATH LUsES TERROR
In Mongolia, Murder, Either Whole
sale or Retail, Seems to Be
Matter Of Course.

Mongolia, as described by DR.. Fefdi-
nand Osendowski In Beasts, Men and
Gods" that veracious tale of adven-
lures which fortunately would be Inn
possible anywhere else, is land where
violent death has become SO nearly the
common lot that 1t causes there
strangely little emotion of any kind. It
really seems as If the people minded
being killed as little as they mind
killing. Murder, either of the whole
sale or the retail kind, excites no par
ticular horror. Those who commit it
are SO numerous that they are wholly
unashamed, and while they become
feared If their activities along this line
seem excessive even in Mongolia, they
are not particularly hated and their
lives are no more in danger than those
whose homicidal exploits are less nu-
merouS.
All this would be Incredible If the
histories did not record similar condi-
lions existing at many times in many
other parts of the world. The Romans
knew something like them in both the
western and the eastern empires, and
state of affairs not materially different
is recorded in the two great works of
our own Motley. The Spaniards and the
Dutch fought and slaughtered each
other with as little conjunction as dc
the Russians, Chinese and natives to.
day in Mongolia, and in what now are
Holland and Belgium the hangman and
the man with the ak and the rack were
as busy as like functionaries were seen
to be In Urga by Doctor Osendowski. !.
Appreciably less Of torture is infiict-
ed in Mongolia than by both sides in
the Netherlands, but 1t is not missing
altogether. Offenders apparently are
never tried, even by the most summary
Of drumhead courts-martial. Whoever
has or assumes a little authority, civil
or military, imposes an instant SEN
tence, and not infrequently executes It
on the spot with his own always ready
revolver.

nary as the aliens, but the difference is
slight, and were a new Genghis Kahn
to arise among them he could recruit
almost exactly such a horde Of savage
nomads as more than once invaded and
terrorized Europe from the same grim
land.

A Fiohtlno Fish.

OF all the fish that fight, the cross Of
war with several palms goes to the
swordfish. It may belt probably is
that he is the best fighter because he
Is the best armed and not because he
is more valiant and skillful in combat
than many others Of the fierce fish that
make battlefield of the sea.
One of the reasons given for ap-
parent increase in the number Of
sharks is mans destruction of the
swordfish. for the swordfish has no
more pity for shark than a robin
has for worm.
Killing a shark seems to swordfish
but gentle form Of exercise. The
swordfsh, in addition to being an
enemy of the shark, is also said to be
one Of the great enemies of the whale.
and this is held against the swordfish
as one of the reasons why he should be
destroyed and eaten.
