GENERAL NEWS AND VIEWS “Now, then,” said the ticket col- lector, “where’s your ticket?” Science, says :an exchange, has failed to solve the 1 stery ‘of why some forms of a -a1 life live so long, while others die so soon. A- momg the animals noted for their long life are the whale, which may reach an age of 500 years, the eleâ€" phant, which gets to 'be 150, and the Iturtle, which sometimes sees 350 summers. Birds also live to great ages, the golden eagle reaching 104 years, the swan 150 years, the par- rot 100 years, the gdose 80 _,years and the sparrow 40 years. Beans sometimes attain an age of 50, Which ‘beats the lion that reaches only 35. The house cat, of the same genlenal family of the lion, some- times ]ives 20 or 30 years, and that’s better than a dog can do. Ralbfoits live to be 10 years old‘, mice six, squirrels six, hogs 20, and toads 4'0. A :band'sman was returning hOme after a hilarious evening. When he got to the barrier he could not find his ticket. “I’ve les‘ht it,” said the band'sman, swaying on his feet. “Nonsense. Feel‘in yowr pockets.
