The Worth of Manhood.
By President Harris, of Bucknell College.
ANHOOD is a growth, a development, an end to be attained. We
are born with a nature which is to be shaped by self-activity Into
character.! This nature comes to us by heredity. Aptitu les
pass down in the blood. Education cannot be transmitted, but
capacity for it can be. A man is not responsible for what he
inherits, but he is in some measure for what ne transmits, for ac
quired traits are transmitted. Another element in growth té man
hood is the environment.
The natural surroundings h
ave much to do with a man's growth, It is more
difficult to attain to a high type in a malarial district than in a region with pure
air, But the most potential environment is the social. The home, the play
ground workshop, business, the State, the Church are the great factors
In enabling one to reach a noble manhood. While not undervaluing the ad
vantage of material wealth, better for the is the heritage from a family
rich in the things of the spirit. The very poor and the very rich seldom have
a home, a Teal family life. And that is the reason that society is constantly
rotting off at the top and rotting away at the bottom.
A third factor is personal choice. A man is not wedged
tween two Inert, unyielding masses, heredity and environment,
freedom, he is a factor in his own development He has
what lame is in his surroundings he will react and make mentally
lly his own. Besides, he may choose his environment, He cannot
mine into what family he shall born. but he can decide into what social
relation he will live. His choice is not absolute, but it is sufficient. Thue
behiztd man is edly, the past entering into him; about him is the environ
ment, Within elf<determining personality; but above him and about!
him, and in as well, is God Man is not left unhelped, an orphan, a cast
eway in the world Over against the heredity of nature is the heredity ol
grace, the birth from abov environment of the soul. While the
personal God In communion first and alone, yet the
spiritual means of growth are not overlooked. This is chiefly the
Church with its word and its* min penetrating and transforming the
homs and the State and society. there is formed an environment
which increasingly favorable hood The standard to be
reached in this growth is infinite, and, therefore, the man himself Is im

Science and Old Age.
By Prof. Elie Metchnikoff.
ROM twenty to fifty a man should for himself and his family;
fifty to one hundred for science and Be imanity, and after a hun
dred for the state Honored, useful, in full possession of all his
faculties at sixscore years and ten, Phe grayheard of the ap
proaching future will be among the most enviable of mankind
For the fear of death is an aberration.
The fact is that only one man in a million at present dies a
natural death. We should live till one hundred and forty years of age. A
man who expires at seventy or eighty is the ei of accident, cut off in the
flower of his days, and he ay resents being deprived of the fifty
years or so which nature owes him Leave him a little longer and in due time
he will desire to die, as a child at dusk desires to sleep. The sandman will
pags!
All our instincts drop from us one by one. The child eries for mother’s
milk: the idea of such an aliment is repugnant to the adult. The desire for
sweets, for play, for love and love-making, for long walks and adventures are
all impuiees that have their day and pass And the wish to live ig an instinct
which fails also to satisfy. Only at present none of us live long enough to
be satiate with days.
The Kite ar an Airship.
Pv Alexander Graham Bell.
iIAVE had the feeling that a properly constructed flying-machine
ghould be capable of being flown as a Kite: and. conversely, that
a properly constructed kite should be capable of nse as a flying
machine when driven by its own propellers. I am not so sure
however, of the truth of the former proposition as I am of the
Intter,

miles an hour) when loaded with a wight equivalent to that of a man and
engine, then it seems to me that this same kite, provided with an actual en
gine and man in place of the load, and driven by its own propellers at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, should be sustained in calm air as a flying machine
