Now . the Hying parts of this di?ecir ?stawaysponge were found ooth in its : interior and on its surface. They lined - tb* canals that evaywh^ permeate the c trouge ike substance, and n?crcocopic l eramhistion has told *us a "great deal p??mttm^?r motore. For whether found Iio the canals of the sponge-themselves or imbedded in the sponge substance, &g f iring: sponge particles are rem*eeente<| , ' k ' dent mass of proto Tvie w I would have" ; it is a colony t composed, in otherwords, of aggre pgafsa^saeee?' at &mig:'|>ar c^.V?5cn^ theotfe^rand?Dannfac l#c^?v?feiQsw?sj of oomrner-^ itself. the mk^g???g&^ Ua?er the microscope these living sponge units appear in varions guises and ?tepes.

Look at a sponge fragment.. You per ? ceive half a dozen large holes or so, each ?? opening on a little eminence, as it were. ttese apertures, bear in mind, we call : oscena. They axe the exits of the sponge 1 : 3ommion. Boir a close inspection of a epongeshows that it is riddled with finer and smaller apertures.

This is the sole evidence the unassisted sght receives of th? vi taBty of the sponge colony., and -the importance of this cir culation in aid?ng life in these depths to be fairly carried oui cannot readily be overestimated. ! -Let * now sea how this circulation is maintained. ^Microscopically regarded,. weaee here and there, m the sides of the sponge passages, little air chambers or . recesses, which remiid one of the pass ing, places in a narrow canal. lining the?6 chambers we see living sponge units of a type different from the shape less^ specks we noted to occur m ?the . Tseshra of th? sponge substance itself. ; The units ?f tie recesses each consist of a living particle, whose free extremity is raised into a kind of collar,, from which" projects a lashnke^fHsment known asa Sagrflnm. This lash is. in constant inovemeht. It waves to and frcTin the water, and the collection of lashes we see in any one chamber acts as a veri table brush, which by its movement not only sweeps water in the pores, but sends it onward through the sponge, and in An^fhm* sends it otiT&ysthe bigger Toles or oscula. : T&is constant <nrculation in the sponge dischargee more than one important fonction. For, as already. noted, it serves the purpose of nutrition, in that the particles on which spongelife is sup ported are swept into the colony. Again, the fresh currents of water carry with them the oxygen gas which is a necessity of sponge existence, as of human life; while, thirdly, waste aiatters,ineritably alike in sponge and in manas the result of Irving, ace swept out of th? colony and ?sclargedlnto'Gie sea beyoa<? wir Sit of sponge has thus grown from ? in er e dry fragment into a^hving reality.

Horse railways oc cupy 5,902, electric railways 1.753, dum my lines 556 and cable lines 441. The number of electric roads now in opera tion is 264 against 44 cable roads. Some Idea of the enormous proportions to which the street railroad traffic has at tained can bo gained from the fact thai -in one city, St. Louis, the whole popula tion is carried 110 times a year by the street cars, and in the state of New York the statistics of the surface railways for the year ending September, 1889, show that the whole population of the state was carried nearly sixty times.
