Man's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depe nd on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inven tio ns, because there are no wheels in n ature-no livi ng thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hun ters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy ani mal through the forest on logs more easily tha n they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.
It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to han dle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.

Eve n pla nts can run a fever, especially whe n they're un der attack by in sects or disease. But un like huma ns, pla nts can have their temperature take n from 3,000 feet away--straight up. A decade ago, adapti ng the in frared （
夕卜线）sca nning tech no logy developed for military purposes and other satellites,
physicist Stephe n Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide （ 杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole
field, which in variably in cludes pla nts that don't have pest （ 害虫）problems.
Eve n better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Compa ny could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Moun ted on a pla ne flow n at 3,000 feet at ni ght, an in frared sca nner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were tran sformed into a color-code map show ing where pla nts were running\could the n spot-spray, using 50 to70 perce nt less pesticide tha n they otherwise would.
The bad n ews is that Paley's compa ny closed dow n in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new tech no logy and Ion g-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the tech no logy works~ \States\Departme nt of Agricultrue, thinks re- mote in frared crop sca nning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obta in 10 years ago.
