THE DAWN OF

Back in the time world, before

when a strange light illuminated

Of new era ushered in conditions
known as natures phenomena with
new laws to be consummated and
recorded in physical order in the
dynamical period to follow.
Physical changes came so rapid

the life that successfully inhabited
the earth, both animate and mani

The first life of the Animate
period was of marine origin. being
microscopic in size. Later, again
we find recorded in the rock struc-

but without a shell and still larger
marine life in consecutive stratums

In the meantime, tnanimate life
was making progress, vegetation of
the variety of the palm, the Giant
Fern and the present day Rubber
Plant and even the Bamboo was
flourishing in dense tropical
growth. and at this period was
ushered in a strange spectacle. The
reptilian monsters crawled out of
the ancient seas and viewed the
flourishing tropical vegetation with
evident approval for shortly after

and became the founders Of the
animal and bird kingdoms.
