Animals That Bloom.

Anemones, sponges. the sea cucum-
bers and certain other growths which
bloom and apparently behave in all
respects like plants are really animals.
The petals of the anemone, resem-
bling those of a chrysanthemum, are
really tentacles to catch food and put it
into the hollow tube which forms the
stomach. where it is digested. The
sea cucumber has hattened body. It
occasionally moves at snail's pace
over the mud or sand, digging it's pet
ais, or arms, into the sludge for food,
to obtain which it swallows a fair
proportion Of mud. 1t has power to
Aing and so keeps away it's enemies.
The sea lily so exactly resembles the
common lily that it is difficult to real
ize that 1t is an animal and belongs to
the starfish family. 1t has stalk two
feet long. with disk for a body. The
tcntaclcs close round the disk. which
has mouth. and completes the de-
ceptive likeness. They are the Oldest
form of animal life on earth, and their
fossils are called ''stone lilies."
These creatures were believed to be
