This proved that flame acted as an electrolytic conductor. They also found that hot air from a large red-hot soldering bolt, put in the place of the...

But they have thrown hardly one ray of pure light on the dark problem of the origin and evolution of human speech. That problem, if it can be solved at all, can only be solved by a careful analysis of language, such as it exists in the immense varieties of spoken languages all over the globe.
