Secrets of Science, By :David Dietz. • While the ,gigantic reptiles,the di- nosaurs, ruled the earth, the first mane reels made their appearance. There was a small reptile in those days which is now extinct. Scientists call it the dog -toothed reptile or Cyno- dont He was the ancestor of the mammals. ., The first mammals wore insignifi- cant, They were no larger than rats or mice, It is interesting to compare the 'law of a fossil mammal of the Age of Rep- tiles with the tooth of one of the big dinosaurs, The reptile toothis about 20 times larger than a Mammal's whole jaw. But *the reptiles have disappeared except for the crocodile, the turtle, the snake and tiny forms like the little lizards. ' Mammals have taken their place of Ascendency upon the earth. • The mammal differs from the rep- tile In many 'respects.. First- of all, the mammal is warm-blooded. The reptile is cold-blooded, or to state the case more accurately, the temperature of, his blood varies with the tempera- ture of his surroundings. The, tenmparature of the mammal's blood is constant and as a rule higher • than his surroundings. A. temperature of .:100 degrees laihrenheit is about the average. IThe mammal also has, other import- clamgem, ant differences from .the reptile, It Whose. folk were like to little boys- and has' a covering of hair.
