The waters of Calumbang river, over which the typhoon swept, rushed back suddenly, carrying away to destruction residents in their houses. Roads and bridges were hashed out and telegraph lines blown down, so that an accurate appraisal of the damage done is impossible, but it is said that in the town of Batangas alone there are besides the known dead, approximate- Thomas Aya fdsosr, Oiyer Wend& tfomes, 85" Mrs. Wifi&mH- - 7? rdton?0 IIEX Christopher Columbus was u boy, lie and his playmates regarded men and women who had attained to two score years and ten ns very old people Indeed. For that was In the Fifteenth century when the nvernge span was but little more than thirty-siyears. In the I'nlted States today the average life span Is about fifty-si- x ye;rs. In 1010 It was about fifty-one- , and In 1001 about forty-ninExamination of tables giving the exjiectation of life in various countries of the world show similar increases in the life span, with the exception of India, where the expectation 1 wns about twenty-fivduring the years was about years and for the period . twenty-tw- o years. With this exception the world seems to tiecoining a healthier pluce to live in. The limit set by the psalmist is three score years and ten, but today It seems no little feut at ull to have arrived at your seventieth birthday. The census of 1920 gave Uncle. Sam 1,501 sons and 2,700 daughters at least one hundred years old. Some of these undoubtedly were much beyond the century mark, but the census makes no distinction between centenarians and supercentenarians. As far us the census Is concerned, you are no worthier of note at one hundred ten or more than you are ut one hundred, unless, of course, you are almost a Methuselah and can prove e. Comparatively few of us studyithe census, however, and when we hour of the existence of a centenarian it Is usually thut he or she has Just become one, has celebrated n still later anniversary or has died. Sometimes, observes J. R. Gilder In the New York Times, lie Is a person of more or less note like the late Cole of California, who died at one hundred two, or the chairman of the board of tin United States Trust company, who on August 2C celebrated his one hundred fourth birthday. Many of the oldest folks in this country were born abroad; a goodly number of the native-borelders are Indians or negroes, which suggests that B dark skin constitutes a protective coloring. A point to be noted about all of them Is that the number of their descendants Is not. ns a rule, exactly proportioned to their age. Here, for example, Is a pioneer of .Marquette, Mich., leaving behind him, ut one hundred two, a son and two daughters, while a Tonawanda (Pa.) woman, dying the next day at only ninety. Is survived by children unto the third generation, ami to the number of 114. t the Incontrovertible evidence Notwithstanding ' for cases of extreme longevity, two English writers of note In the last century saw fit to question the possibility of human life extending nppre oiubly beyond five score years. They had no other but a woman's reason. They thought It so becuuse they thought It so. The very oldest .people like the wickedest are seldom to be found In our Immediate neighborhood. or even In our own country. Usually they live very far away. Take Zorah A grab, for Instance, a Kurdish porter resident In Constantinople, we are told, for more than one hundred twenty years, whose claim to date from November 15, 1771, Is said to be supported by a birth rer- tlflcate and the testimony of a dozen old men that he was an old nan when they were lads. Too poor to buy much meat, he has relied chiefly on dried legumes, bread, raisins, figs, honey, sugar and tea. Water he sips occasionally, hut liquor and tobacco be lias always abjured. Still further off. In the village of Moehln, Persia, lives an old woman who was discovered not long ago by the first census of that country, taken for benefit the of the American administrator of the national purse. The Teheran correspondent of the Tendon Ially Express reported in January that this woman was then one hundred forty-six- , and thut her son was one hundred seventeen.

The Red Cross has dispatched physicians. nurses and medical supplies to Batangas for the relief of the sufferers and the United States army also sent food and clothing, but it is doubtful when the supplies will reach the sufferers because of the bad conditions of the reads. The typhoon struck from the direction of the island and province of Sntara, breaking disastrously over Batmany angas province, damaging towns, including Batangas, while at Bauan a tidal wave which engulfed it caused a hundred more deaths. In this one province, it is believed, the death toll will reach 200. Early reports of the tidal wave could not be confirmed, due to the protration of the wire service out of Manila, but officials arriving from Batangas stated the report was true and that there were a hundred deaths.
