Buffon was the first one in France to raise the question of the extreme limit ot human life. In his opinion, man, becoming adult at sixteen, ought to live to six times that age, or to ninety-six years. Having been called upon to account for the. phenomenaLages attributed by the ■Bible to : the patriarchs, :- he,,n. s^ e( i the following as an explanation :—“ Before the.flood the earth was less solid, less compact than it is now. The law of gravitation had;acted for only a little time; the productions; of the globe had . less consistency, aiid : the body of man; being more supple, ‘ was ’ more susceptible of, extension. Being able to grow for a longer time,-itshould, in 'consequence, live for a longer ~'time, than -now.* — Canterbury Times.
