It has been found that while a fully growa mon- ad, called Dallingeria, maybe destroyed at a temperature of 143" F., the germs or young, which are inconceivably mi- nute,requiringtobe magnified 3000 diameters in order to be seen, perish only when heated in fluid to from 313° P. to 268° P. It would thus appear that no living beings, either plant or animal, are excep- tions to the universal law that all arise from germs. Hence the doctrine of spontaneous generation, which imj)lies that the lower animals may at the present day develop spon- taneously

Some monads are phospho- rescent. Such is the gigantic monad called Nodiluca (Pig. 9), which occurs in great num-.
