ORGANIC LIFE. 



amount of food to generate heat to so much more body. 

 A lessening of body will lessen the amount of food 

 necessary to keep up a certain amount of heat. 



The conditions being changed by man with regard 

 to the stabled stock, and a further change being 

 brought about by man in the order of food for such 

 animals. Consequently, greater body is the result. 

 Yet if the conditions were brought about by any other 

 agency beside that of man, the result would be the 

 same. Because it is not the Godlines of man that in- 

 crease the bulk of the body of his stock. But instead, 

 it is the adaptability of the animal to the conditions 

 that he must live under. Conditions being the cause 

 of the greater bulk. But the order of nature being 

 to cool, the order of animal life in general, when not 

 modified by some other agency, is to reduce bulk of 

 body to conform with the order of nature. And 

 throughout the past the order has been the same al- 

 ways to lessen the bulk to conform to the cooling con- 

 ditions. 



A study of the geological conditions during the 

 Carboniferous age, as revealed by geologv. will con- 

 form in showing how animal life has deteriorated in 

 the time that has elapsed since that period. At that 

 time, there being winged life of proportions equal to 

 the greatest of our land animals of today. They but 

 conforming to the heated conditions of their age and 

 time. 



As to monkeys, apes, bears and other forms of life 

 that resemble man, they each were bordering like con-
