An Eskimo named Keshu was the first Marle In her arms. He recognized the hild at once, notwithstanding the chango that a few years had made in her appear- ance, and • he.danced "about her so vigor- ously in his excess of delight and kept up such a succession of shouts that Marie at nrst was somewhat alarmed. But perhaps memories. Ion:; forgotten.-came back to her and soothed her feara.

In a negative way science has done something, for it has conquered diseases which interfered with life, but for the normal body, healthy to begin with, fort- unate and without accident or disease, fcience can do nothing, and is powerless to arrest Its steady inarch to the grave. f It - is well known that the' body has the power of renewing Itself; that every seven years each one of its molecules Is replaced by a new one. Thus there Is no reason why an old body should not be £s good as new. Sharks and some other Inhabitants of the tea. as far ub Is known, have no time limit set upon their lives, but live and grow until from v*ry bulk they become fco unwieldy -that they surpass all of their, prey In slzo bo much that it can dodge and escape their clumsy motions.' Then, weakened from lack of substance, they In turn ar« attacked by smaller but more vigorous enemies and destroyed. Science ha* taught u« to feed ourselves for mu&cular strength, for warmth pro- ducing, for brain work, but for life pro- ducing there has -been found no food, be- . cause we do not know what life Is.
