ON THE PROWL .

If not for this, then why was the wonderful power of 
imagination bestowed upon us ? Standing in the fossil 
room of the British Museum, I go back thousands upon 
thousands of years, and see great swamps and gloomy 
forests all around me, and hear the Mastodon trumpet 
as it crashes its way through them. If I could not do 
this, I would leave the room. If bones are not more than 
bones, what are they good for ? Knife handles.
