Millions of yeara of evolution have gone Into the evolution of a creature almost perfectly adapted, through extreiftely complicated physical mechanisms, for its parasitical Ufa In the world. A little of the flea's life history down through the ages is regaled by tills examination. Once, fortok ample, it' was a flying creature/" Vestiges of wings still can be found in one of its development stages. As it became more and more strictly parasitic on warm-blooded animals thd need for flying disappeared, and the legs were developed into marvelously efficient organs for jumping -- the creature's chief means of locomotion. Extremely complex is the flea's feeding apparatus. When 4 starved catflea is allowed to feed, it becomes oblivious to everything but the prospect of blood. Hence, if a forefinger is offered it as a food source,, it may be observed leisurely in anyposition under the microscope, even; with a strong spotlight turned pa Jt.' Hot-Caps Aid Plants In Getting Start Hot-caps, which serve as miniature individual greenhouses for plants, are recommended to home gardeners.

Fifteen cities had more than 100,000 inhabitants. Duisburg, where the Ruhr river joins the Rhine, ranked in shipping tonnage with Europe's largest seaports. The Ruhr's pig iron output nearly equalled that of the entire British commonwealth of nations; Its steel production was double that of France. Five per cent of its known coal deposits would furnish enough coke to process all the ore in France's rich Lorraine iron field. Unplumbed beds of coal were estimated to be sufficient to last tor 8,000 years at the prewar rate. Nothing about the Ruhr of the late '30s was more amazing or harder to match elsewhere than its cities. The aggregate population of the Ruhr cities over 100,000 reached nearly 5,000,000. Four cities--Cologne, Essen, Dusseldorf and Dortmund -- counted- more than 300,000 each.
