Of the charts he has so often studied had r
been transferred to his countenance. The a
admiral has the faculty of preserving his $
under all circumstances. 4
Professor Forel, practicing with the albu. n
menized paper Of photographers reached n
the conclusion that light cannot penetrate c
in water to any greater depth than about a
l2j feet. More recently, however, some E
more sensitive plates have been exposed al :
a depth of 800 feet under water, and the
traces of light were distinctly lett on the G
plates. Light must, the efore, penetrate
clear water at least 300 feet, while rays so
feeble as to escape detection by any known b
yet so powerful as to exert an o
influence upon some forms of sub-aqueous n
ife-may reach still greater depths.
