The tube is made by the rotifer from the undigestable portions of its fond, which it forms into tiny round bricks and places one on top of the other. The beautiful, flower-like head of the animal expands and contracts, is withdrawn entirely within the tube, and expands once again. Magnified 30 diameters.

2507 Special ... THE CIRCULATION 0F~ PROTO
PLASM IN THE WATERWEED
The waterweedis seen growing in its natural environment, then a sprig of it is shown held in the hand, and a single leaf held in a pair of microscopic forceps. This is followed by a greatly magnified picture of a portion of the leaf, showing the circulation and rotation of the protoplasm. This is one of the most wonderful sights that the microscope has ever revealed. The protoplasm is for ever moving through the cells of plants, just as the blood flows through the veins of animals. Caught in the restless stream of protoplasm are myriads of chlorophyll corpuscles, the minute oval bodies which give the beautiful green tints to the foliage and s'ems. Wherever the light shines strongest, as on the upper surface of the leaves, there the restless protoplasm drags the chlorophyll corpuscles, and masses them in vast numbers together. Magnified 700 diameters. Length 75 feet.
