Evolution In Flying.

One of the most interesting exhibits In the British museum is collection of birds, showing the gradual evolu- ton of flying creatures from the pterodactyl to the pigeon. The pur- pose of the display is to provide avia- tors and designers of aerial craft with useful object lessons. An equally in- teresting exhibit is that of burrowing animals, which has been installed with the idea that mining engineers may profit thereby.

Worry medical science now defines as the dominance of one idea. usually that of fear. There is a fear of somo existing condition or dread of what may happen. The idea crowds all oth- CTS from the mind. or permits them only the feeblest and occasional ac- tivity. The most terrible tyranny is the tyranny of an idea.
