Watkins The Saa Urchin Has Been 'Barely Alive' ior Eons With their tremendous mul tiformity of life, it seems only natural that the warmer areas of the world should contain a living animal more solid than fleshy that can become an object that has all the outward appearance of being a baking powder biscuit, yet in life has a certain mobility and instinctive action; the , ability to eat and lay eggs whereby the oceans of tomor row will contain their fair quota of these marine oddi ties, known while alive as sea urchins. The sea gull found out many ages ago that at certain times or eacn year tne sea urchin contains great quanti ties of eggs which are very palatable. The bird neither knows, nor cares, that this aamo urchin, once its tube feet are removed or brushed away, looks very much like a biscuit.

Yet, in spite of its absence of flesh, the urchin "knows" enough to cover It- sen with sand and hide on the ocean bottom. In spite of the fact it has barely enough tissue to carry on the normal functions of living, the sea urchins react to outside influences, can rec ognize daylight from dark, and respond readily to vibra tions and water conditions. They even have the low-key sense to experience various degrees of heat and cold, Puffy Character The purchn that in death may be called a biscuit is a puffy character, closely allied to the flat sand dollar, and moves and feeds in about the same manner, Like its rela tives the potential sea-biscuit walks" by means of tube- feet. Actually the tube-feet are more like spines that move In unison, propelling the animal slowly along the ocean floor. On the denuded urchin there are several creases along the top that look as though the "baker who lives In the sea" had started out to shape a parker-house roll, changed his mind and made an ordinary biscuit. Turn the urchin over and the tiny round mouth is vis ible. Just Inside the body are sharp teeth that grind up the food the animal picks off the bottom. The food consists of tiny bts of animal matter. Limestone Body The biologist says the sea urchin is a "limestone test" composed of limestone plates fused together to make a hol low, lop-sided, oval-shaped shelter for the elementary di gestive system and what nerv ous system It posses. Unfortunately the biologist stops about there and cannot say for sure Just what part this lowly creature plays In the economy ot the sea. Neith er can he say why the urchin has survived over the count less ages without changing or bettering Its position. If, like many lowly beings, disputes the doctrine that everything must cither ad vance or die; the sea urchin has accomplished neither. It is merely holding Its own and it has been doing only that for several million years.
