FUR BATHIN; SUITS?

LOS ANGELES, March 17-(/P)Y-.
Animals and birds probably develop-
ed fur and feathers originally as a
protection against heat, not cold,
says a scientist who has studied the
matter for years.
His hypothesis is that at some per-
iod in the dim past, when all animals
probably were cold-blooded, the earth
experienced a period of abnormally
high temperatures which were too
uncomfortable for some species;
that certain varieties started to grow
fur and feathers, which eventually
gave them the advantage of being
able to spend more hours in the hot
sun looking for food. Later, wlhen the
earth cooled, these same natural
coverings were protection against
coldi, and eventually warm-blooded
creatures evolved.
The conclusions were reported
by Dr. Raymond B. Cowles, Zoolo-
gist of the University of California
at Los Angeles, in an article in
Science,

Dr. Cowles says cold-blooded crea-
tures have no internal heating ap-
paratus and derive what warmth they
need from the sun. But, despite a
widespread belief to the contrary,
they can't stand a lot of it. Present
day reptiles, such as snakes and liz-
ards, die under prolonged tempera -
tures of 113 degrees, fahrenheit. he
reports. He believes the giant reptiles
such as the dinosaurs vanishled mil-
lions of years ago because of the
heat.
The zoologist reported that avail-
able evidence indicated that the
heat-regulating mechanism in ani-
mals is a comparatively recent evo-
lutionary development, and that it
is essential to warm-bloodedness,
but that feathers and furs pre-
ceded both internal heat control
and warm-bloodedness.
If that was the case, then the first
creatures to grow fur and feathers
were cold-blooded. But the new cov-

eriings couldn't have kept the ani-
mals warm because they had no in-
ternal heatiang= system. Such a crea-1
ture would be somet 0hing like a well-~
insulated house w ith out a. stove or
furnace. The anirra.l 1required' a cer-~
tai tiount of wrtthe only
soure of wvhichi was I itui. So the~
a(Idit ion1 of fur or feathers wonl
have been disadvantageous unless
perhaps to cut clown the amount of
solar heat reaching the body.
Dr. Cowles believes that when- the
earth fimally cooled, fur and feathers
helped their owners to retain ab-
sorbed heat and so ontibuted to
the development of the internal heat
