Born to starve.

Fifty years ago an American
naturalist, Dana, discovered on the
surface of the sea little animal Of
so singular character that he named
it "monstrilla." 1t is small crusta
cean, akin to the cyclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food. the
monstrilla has neither apparatus for
Selling prey, or any digestive tube. 1t
is richly provided with muscles. nerv-
GUS system, and organs Of sense; it
lacks only what is necessary to pro-
long life by alimentation. the mon
strilla is doomed, therefore, to natur-
al death.-Harper's Weekly
