Animalcules.

If some hay is placed in glass of pure
rain water, and allowed to soak TOR few
days in sunny place, and if it then be re-
moved, the water will be found, under a
powerful microscope, to contain many small
from their being produced after infusing the
hay. The eggs which were on the hay bred
three myriads of small things, which often
have very beautiful coat of transparent
flint or SILICA. If the water is kept clean I;
and is not allowed to decompose or smell,
generation of the infusoria live. die, and
fall to the bottom of the glass. They form
delicate film there, and minute portions-of
it, when examined under high magnifying
power, show the silicious skeletons Of shells
very distinctly. Now many strata in the
earth are formed entirely of the remains of
infusoria, and very familiar example is the
Tripoli powder, from the polishing slate Of
Bilin in Bohemia A single grain of Tri-
polipowder contains no fewer than 187 ,O0O..
900 of the transparent finty skeletons of dead
animacules; yet the layers of earth which
are made up of them at Bilin, extend for
miles. In the harbor, of Wisenar in the
Baltic they increase and multiply at q rate,
for 17,496 cubic feet of mud are formed
every year there, and every grain of It con.
tains 1000, 600, 900 OF the beautiful silicious
remains Of the infusoria! In the island OF
Barbados there is athick mass of the most
beautiful f1inty sea animalcules, and they
are in such numbers that it must be supposed
the dead minute things were constantly
falling in showers from the sea to the bot.
