POSSIBILITY OF MEN LIVING TO BE 1900 YEARS OLD DISCUSSED BY SCIENTISTS Dr. Eugene L. Fisk's Startling Statement Leads Other Medical Men to Comment, Although Much More Conservatively. FEW persons are fortunate enough "To be the recipiento f a gigantic birthday cake from which pro trude 100 candles, in signification of the fact that they have reached the century milestone of life. But Imagine the size of a birthday cake which would encompass 1900 such candles. The making of such a cake would r.ot" be difficult, you might solilo quize, but it is not within the realm of possibility that there will ever be an occasion for such a token. How ever, a well-known physician of New York city. Dr. Eugene D. Fisk, is certain in his belief that time will yet come when men will live to the ripe old age of 1300 years. It entails quite a stretch of the im agination to visualize such a contin gency. There are men living today who remember our last war with Mexico, but it seems impossible to "imagine a man of today who could recall vividly the beginning of Chris tianity. Yet such a statement as that propounded by Dr. Fisk is of unusual 'interest. Among the many doctrines which public opinion from time to irae is forced to focus its attention -upon there is none more interesting than that of longevity. The fountain of perpetual youth has always been a dream of mankind and a centenarian evokes , considerable interest always. v Dr. Fish's suggestion regarding the prolongation of human life came In a jvaper delivered on "Preventable Dis eases of Adult Life." That senility Is premature and that youth is a physi cal state and not a function of time is his contention. And as science has .already learned how to prolong the .life of the fruit fly 900 per cent, he reasons that it is not beyond the realm of possibility for science to disclose how to increase the length of human life to the same degree. To postpone middle and old age has seemed a quixotic and fantastic prop osition," said Dr. Fisk. "But even to double or treble is a simple thing compared with communicating with the spirits of the dead. Some per sons believe it irreverent to talk of changing the life cycle established by God. but old age is always prema ture, just as death from typhoid or tuberculosis is premature. Physical collapse is the result of the culmina tive of antagonistic conditions. We find an analogy in changing the life cycle of other living organisms. That of the fruit fly has been increased 900 per cent and the same proportionate increase would make man capable of living for 1900 years. Among conditions antagonistic to human life Dr. Fisk included hered ity, infection, poison, food deficiency, food excess, fear, grief, emotional ex cess and psychic apathy due to lack of life interest. The life cycle of every organism Is limited by some fault in structure causing self-poisoning." went on Dr. Fisk. "The turtle lives to be 200 years old and the California redwoods are practically Immortal. Although the idea of a man living to celebrate his' 1900th birthday may be a trifle far fetched, yet a while at least, it has been conceded) to be a fact by scientific men interested in longevity that the men of today on the average live 15 years longer than did their forefathers. They also con tend that It is not unreasonable to expect that within the next 20 years perhaps ten or at least five more years will be given to the length of the journey on the great highway. "Witbour present knowledge and under existent conditions." said Dr. William J. Mayo recently in a discus sion of the span of life, "15 years might be added to the life of the man in this country within the next 20 years. It is certain that ten years will be added at the most productive age from the standpoint of industry and will greatly aid in maintaining our position as the most productive na tion." The United States claims Uie dis tinction of having as one of its sons the perhaps most ancient human be ing in the world. And because of the fact that he hangs his hat in Greasv Creek, Ky.. that little hamlet tucked away 30 miles from nowhere in the Pine mountains should be allotted a place on the map. This tenth wonder of the world is 132 years old and ha recently become the cynosure of all those men of science who are making study of longevity. Most remark able of all Is that "Uncle." as he is affectionately hailed by his neighbors, has a b-year-old son. Picture ir you can what it means tA have known 132 birthdays. It means to remember the death' of the Fathe of-Our Country; the second war with Great Britain; to have voted for James Madison as president, and, strangest of all, to have been too old at-the time of the civil war to be ac cepted for service. That is what John Shell can remember. "Uncle" walks around and tends to the chores on his iarm as it he were a man of 60. His movements are quick and were it not for his weazened old face one. would take him for a man half his age. He was once an expert Indian fighter and still wears hiB heavy shock of snow white hair in Daniel Boone style. He made r'fles more than 100 years ago and even to day can bring down a rabbit at 200 yards. And while medical men are pro pounding the doctrine of longevity. Shell admits that he has never been able to read or write and therefore is little acquainted -with methods of prolonging one's time on earth. He attributes his own long life to plenty of fresh air and hard work. His creed is never vthink you are sick and you won't be. As collars and shoes are too tight, he dispenses with both. Men advanced in years have proved themselves an asset of action and counsel in the affairs of our country. Throughout the United States there are many men of almost four score years who are still doing big things in the world of science, business and art- The passing of time has not lessened their abilities, in fact it has increased them, and they are still creators and leaders among men of a younger generation. Chauncey M. Depew felt as happy and optimistic as a bridegroom when he celebrated recently his 86th birthday. He is well satisfied with the world, is certain that bolshevism will not spread, that the cost of living will come down, be cause of which facts he intends try ing to reach the century mark ot life. . The one-time senator from New Tork is still an astute student of af fairs political. He believes that the republicans will win the next elec tion, but as to The successful candi date he is undecided. He is under the opinion taht this will be the first dark horse year since General Garfield by an oratorical masterpiece came from the rear and captured the nomination and later the presidency in 1880. "The situation as regards candi dates is curious," he said recently. "There Is at present no outstanding candidate, the death of Roosevelt re moving the only such figure we had. We have many candidates, men who are excellent, but only partially known to the people. It may bring about any unlooked-for situation. All in all It looks to me as If a dark horse might take the nomination." Even an 86th birthday anniversary did not deter Mr. Depew from getting down to business at his regular hour. He believes that it is a mistake to take a day off, even though one is a little older In years than one used to be. His secret of longevity is not to change your habits.
