A Living Island.
The alligator is not in any way an at-
lrnctivc mimal. 0a the contmry, it is
about as repellent in looks and dispo-
sition ns nny living creature very well can
be. And yet in one respect, 8! least. it
is to be envied :' It can go through life
without evur needing a dentist, unless it
be to eat him; fur it never keeps its teeth
long enough to give them any chance to
decay or ache on get out of order in any
way. “'hcn an alligator’s tooth is worn
out or broken. or in need of any kind of
. repair. it. drops out. and. lrrbeldl a new
one is ready to take its p'ace. But I
; hardly nccd say that the alligators teeth
~ are :1 Joy only to itself. .
