Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Grosvenor´s Daughter: A Story of City Life There was a busy idler once who spent much time in looking at various objects through a microscope. One day he had placed in a glass cup a little world of pond water, and in it, moored to a twig, he saw what seemed to be a pair of wheel-like organs continually revolving. As he looked steadfastly, he perceived that the wheels were not really turning, but were made up of fine hairs or cilia, set in a close circle, and, moved by a compact and vigorous muscular system, lashed the water with such velocity that they seemed to be whirling like the flywheels of an engine in operation. This motion of the cilia whipping the water occasioned a vortex determined towards the wheels, and just back of these wheels lay a gizzard or digestive organ, which was constantly filled and fed by the living atoms swept into it by the revolving cilia; for this that the busy idler was observing was neither more nor less than a rotifer, an animal which is all stomach, and tentacles for filling that stomach.
