Better liv- {ng conditions, new roads and social improvements resulted, Yet the peace was not unmixed with troubles for the poorer Hebrideans--the crofters, as they were called.

The second great step was the divi- sion of the first microscopic globules of living matter into the two classes, plant and animals. But both the first plants and the firgt animals were one-celled organ- isms. The third great step was the de- velopment of many-celled animals and plants. An organigm which we find on the earth to-day gives us a clew to how this happened and lead us to believe that there was a half-way step between one-celled and many-celled organisms.

The cuttlefish are molluscs and represent the greatest development of the back- we may. assume that for millions of years all life was microcopic. The earth was teeming with life but it looked lifeless. Gradually, es time went on, organ: ism increased in size. Gradually more complex forms of life evolved. All of them, however, were backboneless animals. They included sponges, jellyfish, and round and flat worms. All of these are very inactive forms of lite. Sponges are en'irely fixed, growing on one spot just as plants do. Jellyfish are only feeble swimmers at the mercy of tides and currents. The sea worms are only feeble crawlers. Only one form of backboneless ani- mal has developed any great power of locomotion in all the millions of years from the time of their first appearance upon earth up to the present. This is the squid. The squid has a spindle-shaped body !
