Solomon as Naturalist.

There is an odd reluctance upon the part of many people to go to the ant. the water-bug. thebeetle and other “invertebrate” ot backboneiese creatures* to consider their ways and be wise, bolomon was a learned naturalist of his day and perhaps the first animal behaviorist of ail time Not alone anta and bees taught him much, but all insects, beasts of the held and birds of the air contributed, to his wisdom. If Solomon were alive today, he would more than glory th into the behavior of the lower creatures. He would no doubt write a down-to-date volume of proven* founded upon the learning abilities, the mexhory and the behavior in gea oral of fleas, lice, flies, gnats ant other insects.
