POWER 



As sound and odor constantly pervade the air that passes 

 through myriads of ears and nostrils and as the senses of 

 hearing and smelling by day and night vary with the move- 

 ments of animals here and there, our camp was known to 

 thousands of our great and little neighbors and to the native 

 Masai with their herds of cattle. These animals, meat 

 eaters and grass eaters, all know each other well. 



The native Masai is the top animal. In cooperation with 

 his fellow men, he can spear a lion. He can trap a leopard 

 and build a boma to protect his hut. None of the other 

 animals can do more than secure their food. The grass 

 eaters merely crop the grass. The meat eaters secure food 

 by killing the grass eaters. The grass and the trees take 

 their life from the soil and the water and the sun. 



All the parts of this living picture insects, animals, and 

 plants are mechanisms of energy. The Masai native is the 

 most highly specialized energy mechanism of them all.
