ALL LIFE AKIN
In olden times, and until not
very long ago, man imagined
th a t th e sun’s planetary system
constituted “the universe.” As
tronomers with modern tele
scopes, now know th at the solai
system is small compared with
others that they see, and th t
idea of boundless space filled
with such systems is dimly
sensed,
though
“boundless
space” is as much beyond the
comprehension of the human in
tellect as is “endless time.”
On the other hand, what we
call early man knew of no en
titles smaller than those h t
could see. Now we know th a t a
man, an elephant or a flea art
all actually composed of millions
of smaller organisms, and these
of others smaller still. The mai
who wrote:
“Great fleas have little fleas to
bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser
fleas, so on, ad infinitum.”
little realized how exactly the
two Latin words expressed the
truth. Animal life has been de
monstrated down to a degree of
smallness that to a human mind
is infinite.
Man ¡s constantly making dis
coveries which prove th at the
greatest or the smallest of which
he can conceive are not limits
in the two directions, but he is
increasing his knowledge withi i.
the limits of his capactiy.
It is known th at during much
of the prenatal growth the hu
man and animal organisms are
wonderfully alike. The discov-
eriea

CANNED GOODS
