The sea bottoms became thick with the si animals of PreCambrian times, 80 or more million years ago. The seareh for food, existence itself, became a struggle in which the fittest seemed to survive To oxist, to survive thru this struggle, the animals began to develop! ficient methods for obtaining food, to build up organs for offense and defense, to organize means for protection The animals began to put definite cells aside to petform definite duties, ail to combine in the one purpose of survival and solf-prevervation, Tho simplest form of such progress is demonstrated in the Hydra, a bright #reon, plantlite animal, about half an inch long, with ite organs and cells fet auide for definite duties.

Wrong History TORIES of the great events of history, such as the rise and fall of certain nations, are based entirely upon misinforma- tion, In the opinion of many scientists, W. H. 8S. Jones of Cambridge University, England, has made scientific investigation of the sons for the decay of Greece. This investigation confirms the theory of other scientists that ancient Greece, which support- ed the most humane and aes- thetic civilization the world has seen, was made to disappear by the malarial mosquito. Both Aristophanes and Hippo- crates described this disease and its ravages. By 400 B. C. large sections of Greece were in a miserable state because of ma- Jaria, Two hundred years later, Polyblus speaks of the rapid de. population of the country dus to heavy mortality and emigration brought about by the disease. Under Clearchus, the tyrant, an entire army, encamped on a marshy plain, was wiped out.
