Age of Alligators
The Department of Agriculture says
that the age of an alligator can only
be determined by one who has had ex
perience with these reptiles. Alliga
tors grow very slowly and it is esti
mated that at fifteen years of age
they are only two feet long; therefore,
a 12-footer may reasonably be pre
sumed to be seventy-five years of age.
The rate as growth varies with ani
mals in their wild state and those kept
in captivity, and it is also governed
by the amount as well as the type of
food given.
Wonderful George!
They were on their honeymoon and
she regarded him as the most wonder
ful being in the whole world.
They strolled along the seashore.
Suddenly he stopped and in a fine
poetic frenzy declaimed: ‘‘Roll on tbou
mighty ocean, roll I”
“Oh, look, George!” she cried in
ecstasy. “It’s doing It.”
