Alligator farming is business tnat
enterprising men who have taken 1t up
In the last few years have practically
all found their farms to be paying in
stitutions almost from the start, &C
cording to a writer in the Sclentlnc
American Although the supply OF
wild alligators is being reduced to an
alarming extent, raising alligators for
their skins alone can not be seriously
considered until the wild supply is
much smaller than it is now. AS it
takes several hundred years for alli-
gators to attain their full growth. it
might seem that returns would rath-
er slow However, baby alligators are
always in good demand from aqua
RUINS, museums and tourists, and from
their sale and the fees of admission to
the farms the chief present revenue is
derived. The skins, too, begin to be-
come valuable when the alligator is
six or seven years old.
Until 10 or 20 years ago, no allisa-
tor skins were used for any purpose,
and for several years after that only
the smooth portion which was found
on the stomach was utilized. Now the
back or horny portion is regarded as
the most valuable, and not only is the
hide of the alligator used, but his teeth
and bones also contribute to various
articles from suit cases to paper
knives and whistles. In the Florida
Everglades several hundred persons,
mostly Seminole Indians, make their
living by alligator hunting. The Flor
ida supply is rapidly diminishing and
in the last two years Mexico and Cen
trail America along the gulf have
been invaded determination seems
likely unless drastic measures for pro-
lection are taken.
One of the most widely known ALL
gator farms is at Palm Beach, Fla,
at which a collection of over 1000
saurians is kept, ranging from tiny
ones just Matched to Jumbo Joe, sup
posed to be 900 years old, measuring
IS feet inches. In this collection
is also a crocodile, the largest in cap
tivity, estimated to be 1000 years old.
1t is II feet inches long. The larg-
est collection of alligators is at Los
Angeles, Cal, on a farm owned by S.
V. Ernest, on which there are over
1000 alligators. The largest, caught
only a few months ago in the Ever
glades in Florida, is Is feet long and
weighs about 900 pounds.
large female alligator lays from SO
to so eggs every summer, and small
one from 25 to 80, and practically
every egg will hatch. Special incuba-
tors for them are used at the farms.
Alligators require no food from Sep
TENDER to May. The rest of the time
they eat meat. Baby alligators up to
three years of age, at which time they
will not exceed Is inches in length,
find the readiest market and are sold
at from one to four dollars. Larger
ones are usually sold at practically so
much foot, 16-foot alligator bring
ing as much as 20, and the very large
ones from Is to - feet long, which
are desired mainly for aquariums,
from s75 to 500.

The Denial Of
Christianity and Its
Results
By Rev. William Evans, D. D.,
Director Bible Cou1e Of Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago

TEXT-And if Christ be not risen, then
is our preaching vain, and your faith is
also vain YEA and We are found false
witnesses of God; because we have tesu-
fed of God that he raised up Christ;
whom he raised not up, If so be that the
dead rise not. For If the dead rise not,
then is not Christ raised: And If Christ
be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are
not in your sins.-1 Cor. 15:14-1S.

Heard on the Waterfront.

Some ancient mariners were sitting
in seaport tavern relating their ex-
periences of fogs.
"Ah!" said one old salt I've seen
some pretty thick fogs in my time.
Why, off the coast of Newfoundland the
fog was sometimes so thick that we
used to sit on the deck rail and lean
it! We were sitting one night
as usual, with our backs to the fog,
when suddenly the fog lifted, and we
all went flop into the sea. A bit thick,
wasn't it?"-San Francisco Chronicle.

Oddities of Justice.

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and OPP
posed to the modern conceptions OF
the relation of the state to crime. is
the contention of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar. writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine Illustrating the abb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny. in Della
ware ten years, in the District of Co.
lumbia ten months; the penalty for ar
son in Pennsylvania is twice that of
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
of burglary is twice that of arson; the
guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice
that Of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that Of
counterfeiting.
