But smaller animals, without external armor, warm-blooded, sensitive, alert, have cleared those monsters off the face of the earth.

And now anybody with access to a computer can show their work in 200 countries around the world.

• The plow is one of the most ancient and most valuable of man's inventions; but long before he existed the land was in fact regularly plowed, and still continues to be thus plowed by earthworms.
