AS scientific inyest' cations extend u
becomes more and , more, dlfacnit to
draw the line between the higher and
the lower animals and the plants, and
even between the plants and tnor-
ganic substances. It no longer sufhces
to say that man is the highest animal
because he alone has the gift Of rea-
son; nor to say that plant is different
from a stone because it grows. These
supposed distinctions are now known
to be erroneous, for the broadly scien-
tific man now knows that other anil
mails than man can reason, that plants
have habits which must be attributed
to a well-developed instinct, and that
inorganic bodies such as crystals. can
grow.
Investigations on these lines are be-
ing widely carried on at the present
day. A writer in La Nature gives an an
ingenious explanation of the wonderful
instincts possessed by the insect crea-
ton. Most of these insects are very
short-liyed, and there is apparently mol
time for educating the young. Yet how
unerringly do they follow out the round
of their existence; in many cases they
are, by their blind instinct. able to defy
all the reasoning power Of man and
they ravage his crops, ETC., doing great
damage. -
The writer in, question points ou1
that in an earlier geological age ther'1
were not such seasonal changes OF cli1
mate as we now have. In those days.
as witnessed by fossil remains in COAL
ETC., insects grew to large size and
probably lived as long as many higher
animals. Their instinct was developer
in that age, he thinks, and has been
transmitted through countless genera |
tions to the present, in spite OF the
constant shortening of the period OF the
insects life, by the closing in Of cli1
matte conditions.
