A DROP OF WATER.

the Wonders That May BE Seen Therein
Through n Microscope.
To the ordinary mortal a drop of wa
ter is what the primrose was to Peter
Bell, a drop of water and nothing moro,
but to the student Of nature, armed
with a high power microscope, it imme-
diatelv becomes a world tceming with
living creatures, the most minute repre-
tentatlvcs of animal life. These thoughts
were suggested by reading Professor
Grace's description of u battle he once
witnessed while examining a collection
Of rotifers, which were amassed in a
single drop Of fresh water. Among 9TH
ers, Mr.. Grace noticed a fine specimen
of infusorian, which was swimming
back and forth among the rotifers, as ii
intent on mischief. On the following
day it was noticed that the rotifer col
Ony had lost several O. its members, and
that the infusorian's form had rounded
out until he resembled a miniature st.
Louis bartender. Mr.. Grace now re-
solved to watch the infusOrian's move.
ments and ascertain if possible the
modus Operandi whereby the capture
Of such expert swimmers as the
rotifers ara known to he was effected.
A few minutes wait sufticed. Soon it
was noticed that the infusorian was
slowly and continuously working his
way AROUND the foot Of "a %rotifer, which
was resting on the glass slide.
Around and around he went as slyly
a. a mouse in All oats bin, and when he
had finished it was noticed hat thu
rotifer's foot was firmly cemented TO the
glass. The infusorian, seeming TO know
his victim was secure, began to goat
the tethered creature and torment it il
all the ways that deyilish ingenuit,
could suggest. He would jump upon it
back and bite it in several places wit
lightninglike rapidity and then sprin
of and seize a leg and pull it almos
from its socket. Mr.. Grace says that h
watched this unequal combat for nearl
a half hour, when it was noticed tia
the rotifer was dying from exhaustion
Noting the death of his victim, the il
fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, &
he doubtless had done the others thu
were missing:
Mr.. Grace next examined a sma
body Of water, consisting Of four drop
in which there were several infusor.
and r~otifers. The former proved Il
enemies Of the latter, just as III the sil
gle drop previously examined. 1t W;
also noticed that the infusorian, havir
devoured q victim, would almost hmm
diately divide into two or four new an
mails, each Of which would quic,:
swim away in search Of prey, just as
