be no full moon. and that this is the first
time since 1876 that even a February has
had TO get along without one.

long while omits its full moon. Full moons.

about 2elz days. and thus it can happen
that February with its 28 days hasn't time

\ tozoans have only notifications, or diff
fcrentiauons, OF their single cell, which
serve in the place Of regular organs.
They eat and drink a-.d digest their
/ food, they move about more or less
freely, they reproduce their kind, and
all this is accomplished without the
| possession of the complicated system
of special organs that the higher ami
mails employ.
| Many protozoans live in colonies in
/ which great numbers of the single
/ celled animals are united This does
/ not effect the simplicity of their indi-
Vidual organization. But among the
/ cells of such colonies there are often
| to be found indications of the begin
/ ming of differentiations which mark an
I advance in the direcIIUn of the multi
cellular organization of the metaZoans.
In an. Illuminated window, in Oar
Win hall showing a partly underwater
view of an old wharf pile, there are TO
be seen creatures when, although more
highly. organized than the prOtozOans,
exhibit very strikingly the possibilities
of an animal whose body is only
kind of bag. These are called sea
Quirts, ana some Of the larger species
OF Them clingiug to the pile, in the
midst Of 4 crowded assemblage of other
forms OF piant-like animals, look like
miniature copies of oriental VINE
skins" with two spout-like openings.
1t may be said that the whole active
life of this creature j. consumed IN
allowing a stream Of food bearing wa
ter to enter its sac like body by way
Of one of the siphOns, or spouts and TO
leave it by the other. while the interior
OF the sac digests the nOurishment
And now comes something to make
the most thoushtIess observer stop and
ponder. These sac like sea quirts, ar
ascidians are. as Mr.. Miner says, "ac-
tually primitive members OF the Choir
cate group which includes the verte-
0raUcs that eliminates in man.
Their ancestors seem to hsve started
up the ladder and then missed their
footing. Their story is foId BY the
metamorpnosis which every ascidian
undergoes in its life Developments 1t

a tail, an eve, a brain and central
nervous system, ami a "cartilaginous !
prototype Of a backbone But as ~ 4
nears maturity il becomes attached to I
some stationary object It's brain and /
special sense organs degenerate and /
break up, and the animal becomes vtr- /

A LONG the most astonishing ex-
n hibitons in the American Mu-

New York are those representing the
lowest forms Of animal life, such as
various kinds Of protozoans, radiolar-
ians, suonges, etc. Two Of these are
shown in the accompanying photo
graphs, and the reader can see at a
glance how Incredibly strange and
beautiful are the shapes assumed by
creatures so enigmatical in their ma
ture that the ordinary OnloOker does
not feel sure whether what he sees
are animals or plants, or simply Orna-
mental objects made by a jeweler or a
glassbloweF or by Jack Frost.
The fact is that many of the eXhib-
its really are models in glass or wax,
carefully copied and colored after ma
ture and used because the actual ami
mails are either too delicate or too
minute TO be permanently preserved or
placed on exhibition. Some of the crea-
lures belong to the microscopic world.
and the models are magnified d hun
dred or a thousand times. showing
them as the naturalist sees them under
his microscope.
But this fact only adds to the inter
est of the curious visitor and increases
his wonder. because he perceives that
within a space which to the naked eye
would hardly be larger than the point
of a pin the life forces have found
room to build up an organization al
most as complicated i'm its details as
if there had been unlimited room to
work in. The highest magnification

the prOtOzOans show no such imperfec-

The mystery of life is redoubled
when one looks at these strange forms
in which it has manifested itself. The
prOtOZoans constitute a part of the ami

its fundamental organization from the
part in which we Jelons that at first

But she was glad Of what she had

OF course your present salary is not
one on which you have right to ask
a woman to marry you. However, if
you are fully convinced that you are
going TO make great advances in the
next year, why not tell the girl OF
your feeling for her and your pros
poets and hopes of making far more
money through your work. If there
is no one else for whom she cares,
surely a years waiting viii not seem
too long a time in which to test your
ability to work up to a position where
you can take care OF d wife.
