Is it possible to put off the orcoming of senility and lengthen the span of lifet The question is raised by investigations. into Control of Growth, by Mr. J. S. Huxley, of New

This, he said, was not to be regarded as a presentation by him of a new point of view. What he chiefly desired to em- phasize was that our conception of life- processes had been changed by biological experiments.
The common-sense view of the life- egele, drawn from the observation of man and familiar animali, is," be de clared, that it proceeds always and Inevitably in a deunite direction, with a definite plan. The normal life-cycle of man, for instance, is as follows:-The individual ataris as a minute single cell, then follows a period of rapid growth

Experiments had shown, how ever, that this process was not irrever sible and was not inevitably, similar in all animaals; that it was possible to modify the rate of growth and the length of the period of growth and thus prolong Bft. og

but also within certain definite limits of age "One" animal has thus been kept of the same age--that is, in the same lively activity, the same form, the same type of behaviour for a time during which the rest of the brood have passed through 10 generations, 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. The elixir of life so long sought in the Middle Ages has at last been found but, alas! only for flatworms.”
As an illustration of reversal in men- tal life, Mr Huxley mentioned that in some shell-shock and neurasthenia cases the patients revert to an earlier stage of mental existence, having the minds of etrochildren in the bodies of adulta." Tha most striking case," he said, "was that of an Australian soldier who reverted to the condition of an infant, unable to walk or talk, and incapable of taking any food but milk This is known as mental regression.

THE "OSCILLOPSORE.” MACHINE FOR DETERMINING
PATERNITY,
A San Francisco message states that Dr. Albert Abrams, professor of patho- Jogy at Standford University, has invent ed a machine called the oscillopsore," which, it is asserted, determines whether a man is the father of a child he dis claims. It will also, it is alleged, deter mine age, race, ancestry, sex, and per sonal characterteristics.
The instrument was demonstrated in the case of a man disclaiming a child, and the mechanism showed that the elec tronic vibrations of a drop of blood from "the child and, one from the man syn- chronished, thus proving, it was declared, that the man was the father.
Legal recognition of the invention de pends on whether the judge decides that the evidence is sufficient to force the accused to pay alimony-Exchange.
