Age spans of plants and animals in nature and captivity
The article surveys life expectancy across species from ancient sequoias to captive parrots and eagles. It notes sequoias may reach millennia, while many birds and mammals show wide ranges. In captivity longevity can rise due to safety, food, and lack of predators. It cites specific ages from pigeons, magpies, eagles, parrots, and Galapagos tortoises, concluding larger species often live longer but lifespan is balanced by ecological pressures.

Bone Freezing Presents Definite Value in Bone Grafting
Dr Leonard P Bush of Danville and Dr C Zent Garber of New York report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that bone preserved for weeks in a freezer at minus 20 to 20 degrees Celsius shows definite value for bone grafting. The method, tested in 126 operations on 104 patients with only four complications, aids spinal fusions, cyst filling, and loss of bone substance. Also noted is a potent new anti epileptic drug presented by Dr M A Spielman at a national medicinal chemistry symposium.
