The Young Think They're Wise n + + -n + -ttn + -nn + 4t'H :ti'-ii But Only the Aged Are Seers E VERY generation, no matter how paltry its character, thinks itself much wiser than the one immediately preceding it. let alone those that are remote. It is just the same with the different periods of a. man's life. In the years of physical growth, when our powers of mind and our stores of knowledge are receiving daily additions, it becomes a habit to look down with con- tempt upon yesterday, as has been said. The habit takes root, and remains even after the intellectual powers have begun to decline when today should rather look up with respect to yesterday. This is the place for Schopenhauer's observation that, allhorug in its main qualities, a man's intellect or head, as well as his character or heart, is innate, yet the former is by no means so unalterable in its nature as the latter. "The fact is .that the intellect is subject to very many transformations, which as a rule do not fail to make their actual appearance; and this is so, partly because the intellect has a deep foundation in the -physique, and partly because the material with which it deals is given in experience." .. And so we find that if a nlan "lias any peculiar strength, it first gradually increases in strength until it reaches its acme, after which if enters upon a path of slow decadence, until it ends in imbecility. But on the other hand, as Schopenhauer points out, we must not lose sight of the fact that the material .which gives employment to a man's powers and keeps them in activity the subject matter of thought and knowledge, experience, intellectual attainments, and the practice of seeing to the bottom of things, that is, a perfect mental vision, form in themselves a mass which continues to increase in size, until the. time comes when weakne.-s shows itself, and the man's powers sud- denly fail. Tin- way in which these two distinguishable elements combine in the same nature the one absolutely un- alterali 1 ", and the other subject to change in two di- rections opposed to each other explains the variety of nii.i'iil attitude and ' dissimilarity of value which attach ii> a man at different periods of life. "A complete and adequate notion of life can never be. attained by anyone who does not reach old age," observt # Schopenhauer, "for it i.-- only the old man who sees life whole und knows its iinrmal course; it is only he who is acquainted and this is most important not only with its entrance, like the rest of mankind, but with its exit, too; so that he alone has a full sense of its utter vanity; while the. others never eease to labor under the false notion that everything will come right in the end " Chemistry King of Future Some Great Experiments T HE greatest optimisst toward mankind's hope of im- provement is a chemist, Df. Edwin E. Slosson, editor of "Science Service," formerly professor of chemistry and an author of scientific -books for the lay reader, including the widely read "Creative Chemistry." It is he who believes the chemist is well on the way to control our physical make-up. He said recently: "Comparatively recent study has shown that every living creature, from microbe to man, owe their growth and health to the action of chemical compounds. This places chemistry in the forefront as the hope of medi- cine. We soon will pay less attention to giving people big doses internally than we do to putting into their blood streams chemicals in extremely minute amount which will affect the very composition of their beings. Result of Experiments Here is the argument from which this position is taken: "Experiments with plants and lower animals have proven the extraordinary effect which minute chemical doses can produce. For instance, a little magnesium chloride in the water will cause a fish to grow one eye in the middle of his forehead instead of two on the sides. A bit of sugar will cause plant lice to grow wings and alcohol will have the opopsile effort. All this smacks Of the ancient lore of mythology, where giants and dwarfs, the one-eyed ryclops and beasts of many heads, abound; but while these may not be advisable aims to work for, the modern monsters rivaled in the laboratory Biay be a first step by which tin- chemists will eventually learn to mould the stutuiv, M-X and powers of human beings OH easily as the sculptor moulds his clay. "For we know that there are compounds which may benefit human life as much as oilier chemical com- positions such as alcohol anil heroin Have contributed to man's unhappinoss. Their are minute lhinjj;s in us called hormones, which one scientist bus named "chem- ical messengers." It is a modern theory thai these hor- moueu control personality. That is, a man is guy, Vivacious or sullen and stogy because of the peculiar condition of the hormones working in him. These are definite chemical substances, and it is not ton much to expect that some day the chemist will be able to ,in- ureaae the potency of a person's hormojios us today he doea the potency of dyes and drugs."
