upon its surface;it was covered with
Id salt sea; the smoke cleared off; the

Ijalatinous plants and animals APP

more complex as the forces that

Iitys the earth Wrinkled up; the
mountains and continents appeared;
rain water assembled from the sea;
and descended from the sky; lake.
and river were created :the land was.
covered with fern; gigantic MOSES
and grasses tall as trees; enormous
reptiles crawled upon the earth, frogs
| as large as elephants croaked like
| thunder and the air which was still
poisonous and cloudy was cleared
by the plants feeding on the carbon
acaous gasses; thesun shown bright.
| W. sex was originated; love was
born: flowers blossomed forth and
birds sang; mammoths5 and masto-
| dons reyeled upon the infnity of
/ pastures; the world became popu-
lous; the struggle for life became Sc,
we're; animals congregated together;
male struggled against male for.
| sp1uses;j herd struggled against
| herd for subsistence. A nation Of
apes possessing peculiar intelligence.
and sociability were exposed to. @pe7
culiar dangers; as a means of resist
ance, they combined more closely |;
their language was improved; as 4
means of resistance they threw mis-
siles with their hands, then using
their hands, they walked chiefly with
their feet; the apes became almost
man, half walking, half crawling
through the grim forests, jabbering
and gesticulating in an initiative
manner, fighting furiously for their
females at generative. season, their
matted hair begrimed with dirt and
blood, fighting with all nature at.
war with their own kind but remain
ing true to their own herd; using the&
hand more and more as weapon and1
tool, becoming more and more
erect; expressing objects by conven-
tional sounds or words; delighting
more and more to interchange ideas:
sharpening stones and pointing
sticks, heading javlins with bone
and horn, inventing snares and traps;
then fire was discovered, and by a.
series Of accidents it's various uses
were revealed; the. arts of agricul-
ture, domestication and river naviga-
ZION were acquired; the tribe navi- 1
eating from the forests, were scatter
ed over the world; then canoes Of
hollow trees skinned the tepid wa
ter of the Indian Ocean; their cor
acles of skins dashed. through the
icy waves of the Arctic seas, in val
leys between mo untains, or,in fertile
river plains, they matured seed bear
ing grasses into grain; over pastoral
mountains or sandy deserts, Or broad
grassy sleeps they wandered with
their focks and herds; their shep,
herd tribes poured down on the
plains, subdued the inhabitants and
reduced them to serfdom; then th;e
nation was established and consisted
at first, of the two great classes, thu
ruler and the ruled. W. READE. /
