students love to speak learnedly about

one-celled plants, discovered about the
later part of the 18th century, may
be found where there is or has been

Diatoms, we are informed by the
scientists, constitute an order, the dia-
tomaceae. They belong in the class
Chlorophyseae, or to us, the green al
gae, with which we are familiar since
we know it is green scum either on the
pond, brook or lake, or even on the
sides of our small aquarium.
These tiny plants, as you can see,
take on various forms, and there are
known to date about 10000 species
which have been described. Fourteen
hundred OF them are found in North
America.
The name "diatrom" is Greek, mean
ing "in two," and refers to tbs unusual
structure it possesses. Under the strong
lens, thoese living dots look like bright
jewels. and they are in colors and de-
sign that are almost beyond descrip-
ton. The other day, in seeking in

been discovered.
Live diatoms have been eagerly
sought for aquariums and furnish food
for small fish. Since we have become
so interested in tropical fish for the
home aquarium, many are hearing
about the valuable diatom, the hereto
fore unheard-of onee-|lled plant that
even the mackerel and salmon depend
on for food containing starch.

diatoms are free cells; in some Of the

is to skim off the coating of algae to be

it under the lens.
