STRANGE FORMS, OF
THE OCEANS FLOOR.

Far down in the depths of great
seas swarm and live myriads of shapes
monstrous and uncouth, some of them
well known even to the ancient races
of mankind, others discovered by sci
entists only in modern days by the aid
of the dredge on the one hand and the
microscope on the other Animals of
these lower groups of life, such as
protocol and hydrozoG some of large
size, others of minute proportions, at
tract and surprise, not so much by
their shape and habits, strange as
these appear to the observer new to
them, as by their mysterious blending
with other individuals of their same
sort.
At one moment, says the Philadel-
phia Record, q protold is free, swim
ming in the blue water, a jelly-like
mass, with a thick center in the midst.
We wonder how it came to exist.
Then, of itself, the creature solves the
riddle; slowly it's jelly mass lengthens
out, while the center nucleus in it's
midst also elongates and splits in two;
then the jelly mass grows thin at the
middle, and then still thinner, till
finally the animal bursts asunder at
the thinnest part. Where there was
one animal before, now there are two
swimming apart from each other
never to return. The one conscious
ness of this animal no matter how
rudimentary and narrow it may be
has still become two; it is as if hu
man beings mind should double itsel
so as to become two other minds while
the old mind ceased to be at all.
Turning to other phases in the life
history of another sort of these lowe
animals, we find the inverse operation

and merging into one. Not so start

cell while other living beings our
selves included, are made up of vast
nultitudes of cells. Usually these one
celled animals are microscopic in
size, yet sometimes they attain a very
appreciate size. Portions of the gel
atinous or outside parts of the cell be-
come specialized to different functions,
feeding, swimming and defense.
A typical example of their build is
shown by the cut of the one called
"auloceros." Here the nucleus of the
cell is in the very middle This is the
center of its life. Beyond that is a
multiform, jelly mass of protopasm
ending in sharp spines for defense and

food-the latter being absorbed by
chemical action at the surface of the
body in a manner which, on the sur
face, reminds one of the way the in
sect-catching plants, such as dionease,
behave.
Some of these protozoans build up

Now, Mr.. Watson you know, and
