The indi- vidual starts as a minuote single cell, then follows a period of rapid growth accompanied by differentiation, then senility, and finally death, which su- pervenes as a natural phenomenon, not through disease or acei=- interest in age is possible to keep old bay indefinitely and inconsider- pains- no Forms Kept at Same Age. Experiments had shown, however that this process was not irreversible and was not inevitably similar in all animals; that it was possible to modify the rate of growth and the length of the period of growth and thus prolong life. Tt has been shown.” Prof. Huxiev continued, “that by alternately starv- ing and feeding planarian flatworms they can be kept not only within certain definite limits of size. as was to be expected, but also within cer. tain definite limits of age. mal has thus been kept of the same age—that is, the same lively activity, the same form, the same type of be- havior—for a time during which' the rest of the brood have passed through translated, in human terms, would transiated tato huan terms, take us back to Chaucer. Thus, aga does not merely depend on the lapse of time; it 8 the expression of in- ternal processes. ““The elixir of Nfe g0 long sought in the middle ages has at last been found—but, alas! only for flatworms.” Reversaj in Mental Life. As an illustration of reversal in mental life, Prof. Huxley mentioned that in some shellshock and neuras- thenia cases the patients revert to an earlier stage of mental existence, having the minds of children in the bodies of adults. “The most strik- ing 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 {2 known as mental regression.” Prof. Huxley held that numerous other etamples showed that the ap- parent irreversibility of the life-cycle was only apparent, and that the ordi- nary type of life-cycle had been adopted as the most convenient but not as the only possible method of grappling with existence. In the casa of mammals, the normal life of rats had been prolonged by about 40 per cent. “Observation of life process”™ said Prof. FHuxley, in conclusion. ‘“has given way to experiment as the chief method of recsearch, and experiment is leading to control.” “Y" ENTERTAINMENT.
