I started o11 :ny eventful trip to Mars. lfxztetly l32 years ago I had gradua- ted on that date from the New- buryport lligh School. If any one had told me at that time that I should live to be 150 years old, I should have laughed at him. But it is surprising what miracles science can accomplish Calthough they are no longer considered miraclcsi, and now people who looked old to me then are actually enjoying a second youth.
