PALAIS ROYAL—Boys' Shop—Ma's Iioor MEN'S STORE MAIN FLOOR PALAIS ROYAL SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, 1200000000 CELLS | IN'SKIN OF HUMAN Microscopic Units Similar to Building Blocks—Fit Com- pactly Together. BY DR. EDWIN E. SLOSSON, Director Science Service. All plants and animals are con- structed out of little building blocks of a very similar sort. Each block is a cell, which, when fresh and living, consists of a tiny drop of jellied sap or juice inclosed in a thin-walled sac. When a thin slice of any vegetable or animal matter is cut and put under a microscope, the individual cells can be seen. When free and separate they are round. When compressed to- gether in a mass they form various flat-sided figures, mostly of four, five or six sides. This suggests two questions. Why are the free cells round? What shape are the massed cells? The answer to both questions is the same. The cells in both cases take the shape that will comprise the most substance in the smallest space. It is an instance of nature's economy; an effort to make the cell-wall.stuff go as far as possible. Follow Least Resistance. It is easy to see why cells are spherical whenever they can be. They take that shape for the same reason as a bubble or a balloon.
