It wanted a longer r.eok, to grnze on the higher and more nutritious and succulent leaves. This continuous st retching con tinupd from generation to generation with the result that the giraffe gradually acquired his present development. The case of the giraffe illustrate Mr. Shaw' whole philosophy. Reduced to its substance, however, and it can be told In the single commonplace phrase "Where there's will there's way." Men are held to comparatively short lives, because they have never willed to live longer.

Even in the old days before Dr. Carrel and Dr. Loeb had made their Important experiments, Mr. Shaw could see no scientific reason why man should be restrained to a paltry 70 years. Man's mental attitude, hi complacent acceptance of death's Inevitability, 1 1, there fore the thing John Shell or that kills him off.

All Death Held to Be Accidental Returning to Dr. Carrel and his confreres, we find the whole body of scientific men in one solid phalanx against the inevitability of any save accidental death. They cmpnatically assert that ail death proceeds from some unnatural caubo.

Disease, he says, is preventable and there is no such thing as "dying of old age" or a "death princi pie" as opposed to a "life principle." Before he began his experiments Dr. Carrel knew, of courso, that there is in naturo a certain microscopic "unicellular organism" which lives fowver. This may have suggested to investigators that th human body was a vast aggloimiration of just such cells. The experiments of Dr. Ross Granville Harrison of Yale and later by Dr.

Car rel proved that the cells in the human body," however, were constantly at work manufacturing poV sons, causing decay and death.
