MODERN METHUSELAH.
INDIAN 160 YEARS OLD. CALCUTTA, December 2. A census of India has revealed a man who claims to be 100 years old, which means that he was well on the way to his majority before there was any settlement in Australia or New Zealand. The Indian Mutiny was in 1857, and this modern Methuselah remembers it as occurring in his late middle age. His second full-grown set of teeth have been worn down to their sockets with chewing, but he still enjoys enormous mealij. He declares he was borr when Warren Hastings was ruling British India in 1772.
