STRUCTURE OF WATER PLANTS.
Have None of the Internal Organs Neces,
sary to Animal Life.

We cannot conceive of higher ami
NAL without veins and lymph vessels.
But in water plants we notseldom miss
the long and broad ducts of which the
vascular system of land plants is consti-
tuted- At all events the vessels do not
perform so important part in the veg
etable kingdom as the circulation of
the life juices in the animal kingdom.
Their principal service is to carry wa
ter from the roots to the leaves From
this we can understand how organs es-
sential to the life of land plants can be
dispensed with in water plants. They
do not need special conducting of wa
ter, because they are surrounded by
that element on every side. The most
nal organs is met in an alga which forms
green fields in the deeper parts of the
Mediterranean sea. 1t has slender,
branching, horizontally creeping stems
which develop above in the water into
leaves and below in 1.-THE sand into fine
thread roots. But the whole plant,
often many feet in length, consists only
of single gigantic cells. A tough skin
incloses its juices, which flow in a con-
tinuous stream through the stem, leaves
and roots of the curious growth, here
taking up through the skin and assimi-
lating mineral substances, there pro.
