Think of all the experimenting that must have 124 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION been carried on, until they perfected a machine withwhich to gather electricity from the surroundings andkeep it stored in batteries ready for use. It could nothave been of any advantage or use until they had it per-fected and all the machinery working. Until that timethey must have had a committee of cells continuallyworking on the idea. They could not have commencedexperimenting until they had previously discovered theeffect of the electric shock and could see the idea of usingand developing it into a weapon for oflfensive and defens-ive pcfj Fig. \9.— Osfracion (Coffer-fish), br. ap. branchial aperture; d. f. dorsal fin;pet. f. pectoral fin; v. f. ventral fin. Then we have the coffer fish. This individual is a per-fect box made of some horn like material in nearly theshape of a fish. The box has an opening for just the nec-essary steering and propelling apparatus and the eyesand mouth. It is protected with a color conforming toits surroundings but it cannot change its color.
