snonac aa an Animal

Nothing IL less like a living crea-
ture than the common bath sponge.
vet the fact remains that sponges do
form a very important species Of the
animal kingdom. eating their food
and living their lives much as any
other animal would do.
The actual existence OF sponge
commences with the separation from
the parent Of tiny particle. This
particle, whirling through space, event
ualiy attaches itself to a piece OF
rock. and from that time 1t seeks its
own livelihood.
At the very commencement. with
some species OF the sponge family,
the baby sponges feed upon yolk cells.
In which are stored food supplies. BY.

currents in the water sweep into a
kind OF bag the minute particles Of

disliked him sufficiently for that kind
OF revenge, or have mistaken him for
another in the poor light At any rate
the unexpected Identification helped
him to play his part. and, II the Lieu

edge his mistake. There was no occa-
sion to worry; he could clear himself
