WHY DIE?

HUMAN IMMORTALITY THEORETI- CALLY POSSIBLE,

The Matin, on July 20th gave an account of experiments carried out by Dr. Carrel, which suggest that “there is no reason why we should not be im mortal." The newspaper says that Dr. Carrel undertook his researches as a re sult of criticism that experiments of earlier biologists in keeping aliva tissues taken from animala proved nothing, as a piece of tissue did not re- main alive for longer than the normai period of life of the animal from which it had been taken.

Dr. Carrol, began his experiment on January 17th, 1919, with 18 fragments of the heart and vessels of a chicken ein byvo eight days old. By March only five frag ments survived. Owing to various mis haps and bacterial infections, there was only one still alive by September 25th. This was a fragment of connective tissue. derived indirectly from the heart of s chicken, which was still beating after 104 days of life away from ita organism." Since then, says the Matin, "this culture has gone on growing vigorously. Every 48 hours it is divided into four parts, which are washed in a Ringer solution, pus in a fresh culture medium,' and then put on separate glass slides, and kept at a temperature of 109 deg. Fahr. The culture medium consists of chicken plasma, or extract of chicken's blood, with equal part of liquid extract" takes from an embryo. The pieces of tissue grow four to 40 times their own size, according to circumstances,, in 49 hours. It is now certain that the culture of a tissue away from its organism can live much longer than the animal itself, and indeed practically indefinitely."

The Matin adds:-" It is now proved beyond question that the tissues of which We are composed, are practically im- mortal. Old age is, therefore, as Dastro divined only a disease. If the cells and tissues changes and become feeble and sclerosed in old age, that is not a 'cause but the result of old age. But, what is it then, that causes this result1 Perhaps it is simply that in our bodies each part depends upon the organisation" and co- ordination of the whole. If one part gives way all the rest of the machine breaks down. It is like a battle-front that has been pierced at one point. So long as we prevent a breakdown in each different part of the human body we shall continue to be "young and vigorous, Human immortality is, therefore, theord- tically possible. It will become practical when an organised health practice knows how to maintain the balance and the functioning of each of our organs. Then we shall live as long as we want."

EPIC OF MODERN BUSINE88.

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH'S " COEREBIONDENT;]

The story of how Mr. Henry Ford, the "moter-car king, evaded the clutches of Wall Street is printed here to-day, and is considered a veritable epic of modern business.

Mr. Ford admitted "owing £19,000,000 last January with only £4,000,000 cash in hand, when a banker connected with one of the biggest firms in New York called upon him to offer nssistance. This banker, formerly of Detroit, said be knew Mr. Ford's obliga- tions.and the amount of his cash reserves, and suggested a financial plan by which he could be assisted. Mr. Ford” replied that he did not want any Wall Street help, but from courtesy allowed the bank- er to read a document. The reading went on for, several minutes, and then the caller displayed great interest in the
