These studied by Mr. Metcalf are the Intestinal commensals, the family opallnidae. A remarkable family, too. It has developed 150 species In the frog. These species are the clews to the frog's geographical migrations. He couldnt swim the oceans. There had to be land to account for all the places he has gone. The commensals show where these places were, by the changes they underwent and evolved while dining with the frogs. ANDES MOUNTAIN TOWERS BEYOND FAMED EVEREST Mount Everest Is accepted as the highest mountain In the world. But what do we mean by high? Elevations are given In terms of sea level. If we measure them from the center of the earth it turns out that Chimborazo In the Andes is 2,200 meters (7,217 8 feet) higher than Mount Everest. In presenting this argument In Die Umsthau, Dr. G. Bosch points out that accurate measurements have been made of the distance of sea level from the center of the earth from tlie equator to the poles. Where the distance is not known it can be deduced with an error of but a few meters. While It Is true that the earth Is not a perfect sphere, or ev en an ellipsoid, no correction need be made on the score of figure because the earths diameter does not vary sufficiently. Measured from the center of the earth, Mount Everest Is exceeded In height not only by Chimborazo but On his first flight by Iluascaran. Into the stratosphere Iiccard reached an altitude of 15.S km. (0.70 miles) or G,3S2 km. (3.0G3.G miles) from the center of the earth. His height was therefore about that of Mount Everest. Had he ascended from a place on the equator or from one of the mountains of Ecuador he would really hav e reached an altitude greater than any ever attained by man. As It is, the world's record must he given to any aviators who may have flown over Chimborazo. Even the Russian stratosphere balloonists who came to a tragic end after reaching an altitude of 18.4 km.

He has traced the family history of the birds back to the grotesque archeopteryx and archeornls, natures first attempts at bird making. At the top of the scale of evolution are the songbirds, while the most primitive birds living today are tlie ostrich and the penguin. The story of the Wright brothers Is well known.
