the plot of the drama turned. By mis-
take the property man had given him a
blank piece of paper to hand to the
mimic king, who, not having studied the
words which ought to have been written
on the dispatch, was in quandary. He
thought he had cleverly extricated him
self therefrom by handing the paper
back to Luguet with the command,
"Resd it to me- sirrah!' But Luguet
rose equal to the occasion. "Alas sir, -

This is the sole evidence the unassisted
sight receives of the vitality of the sponge
colony, and the Importance of this cir
culaHon in aiding life in these depths to
be fairly carried out cannot readily be
overestimated.
Let us now see how this circulation is
maintained MicroScopically regarded,
we see here and there in the sides of the
sponge passages, little air chambers or
.recesses, which remind one of the pass
ing places in a narrow canal. Lining
these chambers we see living sponge
units of type different from the shape
less specks we noted to occur in the
meshes of the sponge substance itself.
The units of the recesses each consist of
a living particle, whose free extremity is
raised into a kind of collar, from which
projects lashlil1e filament known as
fagellum. This lash is in constant
movement, 1t waves to and fro in the
water, and the collection of lashes we
see in any one chamber acts as veri-
table brush, which by its movement not
only sweeps water in the pores, but sends
it onward through the sponge, and in
lue time sends it out by the bigger holes
Or oscula.
This constant circulation in the sponge
discharges more than one important
function. For, as already noted, 1t
serves the purpose of nutrition, in that
the particles ON which sponge life is sup
ported are swept into the colony. Again,
the fresh currents of water carry with
them the oxygen gas which is necessity
Of sponge existence, as Of human life;
while, thirdly, waste matters, inevitably
alike In sponge and in man as the result
Of living, are swept out of the colony and
discharged into the sea beyond. Our bit
