there is n continual competition. strug-

struggle is ever acting over tho whole

plant or animal can escape from IL.
Says Mr. Wallace: This results from
the fact Of the rapid increase in geo.

and plants. In the lower orders this
increase is especially rapid, a single
flesh fly producing 20, 900 larv1, and
these growing so quickly that they
reach their full sizc in five days; hence

asserted that dead horse would DO
