METHODS OF ADMINISTRATIONS.
One OF the most interesting things
you take notice Of in walking }abou,
the ocean floor, Is the method oi
artificial lighting employed by very
many of the fishes. You see whole
torchlight professions 90 by, each
fish actually carrying q torch Of it,
own, which serves the double pur-
pose of lighting its path and attract
ing its prey. The new invention Of
illuminating bait was an idea applied
by the so-called angler fishes of the
deep sea ages ago.
Here is a picture Of on angler fish
which has a regular torch for a back
fin. The bulb at the end has q
phosphoroscent luminosity, and the
extremities of the little waving
branches ere likewise luminous. So
the fish ought to be able to see its
way very well, while it looks out for
the victims it expects its light to- at
tract. Other fishes have bright
phosphorescent disks on top of their
heads for the same purposes, and
even rows of luminous spots along
their sides. Ore fish has o remarka-
bic feature, that its jaws r several
times as long as its head, tho Uranium
being situated in the front part OF
the upper jaw. 1t swims by wrig-,
CLING its long, eel-like tail.
The only color that relieves the
gray monotony Of tho cen bottom
at this great depth is supplied by
shrimp-like orustacea OF some size,
some bright scarlet and others orange
yellow. There are quantities of
spiny sea urchins of %innumerable va
rietics and here and there groups of
sea lilies. But these lilies, though
they look like grayish flowers on
stems, are of an animal and not of a
vegetable nature. Of mollusks of
various kinds there is a profusion.
TREASURES or Ill SEA.
You will not find much worth
picking up for its intris.SS value on
the oceap floor. No -ttrtCas":va such
as the sea are supposed to hide are
likely to excite your avarice, though
by some astonishing chance you
might come across a treasure chest
full Of gold and jewels from some
ancient wreck. The hull itself of
the lost vessel you would not discover
half buried in the shelly ooze. At
SO great a depth the density of the
water would be greater than that of
the ships material, and it would
very probably remain, like Mahomot's
coffin, suspended somewhere between
the surface and the bottom.
You have seen enough. Turning
out your light, you will find yourself
standing in the midst Of a watery
darkness that embraces you with n
mighty and crushing power. It is
cold, too, bitterly cold. AT such
depths surface conditions do not af-
feet the temperature of the water.
AT midsummer in the tropics it docs
not rise above 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The stiffness is absolute and appall-
ing. Silent torchlight professions
pass endlessly along through the
ocean desert. 1t is one vast night
mare. You are glad to wake up and
find yourself in your own snug bed
Warning was gwen you not sit up
and read yourself to sleep with the
horrors of the nethermost deep.

Boots OF Human Skin.

In 1876 the firm of Hahreaholtz
Brothers, boot and shoemakers, of New
York City, made pair of boots from
human skin, which they sent to the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia.
They were never put on exhibition,
which goes to show that there was
some humanity in the Centennial
officials if not in the makers of the
CHASTITY footwear. Afterwards they
we're sent to Prof. S. V. Baird, of the
Smithsonian Institution, who would
not allow them shelf-room. The skin
from which the boots were made was
taken from the breast, stomach, and
back of man who had died suddenly
and been taken to a medical college.
In general looks the boots were of a
light-brown color and somewhat heavi-
er than if made from calf skin. The
dark color was caused by the tanning
process. The leather was much more
porous than either calf or cow skin.
