even better.

Man is an inferior animal, science
tells you. If jou were as strong as an
ant you could lift 120 tons. If as agile
as flea, you could jump over tall
building. What of it?
BY pressing button, working ma
chine created by his brain, man can
lift many thousands of tons. He can't
jump like a flea, but he can go up in
a flying machine, and stay up The
flea cannot do that. It's better to have
the power in your head, than in leg
or arm.
