When Man Wax a Marine Animal.
It was M. Quintan, a French pbyst-
ologtst. wb<> several years ago wrote
a pa|H-r to show that tbe colorless
fluid in which tbe red corpuscles of our
blood float and which is called tbe
"blood serum" is tbe same fluid as tbat
will h constituted the primeval sea.
Tbe earliest forms of life which float
ed in the primeval sea were such that
tbe cells aud tissues of which they
were constituted were always batbed
by this primeval fluid. When silica
became a constituent of tbe sea tbes«
animals may have coated themselves
with siliclous coverings, but many ol
their cells were still baibed by tbe
fluid, and some of them as tbey passed
from tbe sea to tbe land may have
closed up tbelr alimentary canals, so
that a distinction arose between their
internal organs and their outer super
ficies. but still, for the good of their
cells, they still batbed them in tbe
sa.lne fluid. To do so more effectively
they took tbe saline fluid ashore with
them In the form of a blood serum, and
it Is this blood serum which we carry
about with us today, the most evident
relic of the age when we were marine
animals.
