The extreme range Of temperature In
the ocean, according to Royal institu-
ton lecture by DR.. John Murray, never
exceeds so degrees F., yet temperature
has played more important part in
the distribution of marine organisms
than in that Of the air breathing and
warm blooded animals Of the land. The
surface waters of the ocean have five
we'll marked temperature areas-an
arctic and antarctic drcumpolar belt
with small range and low tempet-
allure, circumtropical belt with o
small range and high temperature,
and two intermediate areas with large
annual ranges Of temperature. Vertical
", the ocean may be divided into the
superficial region, extending down to
about 100 fathoms and the deep sea.
The surface region, especially near the
land, has variety Of conditions and an
abundant fauna and fora; but plant life
Is absent in the uniform conditions OF
the deep sea, although animal life ID
abundant The warm surface waters OF
the tropics have many species, but rela-
lively few individuals. while the re-
verse is true in colder regions. DIR. Muir
ray accounts for all the various facts In
marine life distribution by suppos1ng
that in early geological times the whole
globe had uniform climate and an al
most universal fauna and fora The
coral reefs Of the arctic circle in the
Paleozoic period were probably formed
when the water had temperature Of
about 70 degrees f.

Dr.. Peters, the "Explorer."


DR.. Peters once wrote book entitled
"New Light on Dark Africa, " In which
he shows us the sort Of light that his
work has thrown on that continent. In
August, 1880, he started up the Tana
river in British East Africa at the head
Of an armed force Of eomali Before the
end Of that month, by the capsizing Of
q canoe, he lost. among some loads Of
ammunition and brandy. 1.-THE only load
Of beads I possessed" He continued
his journey. as he tells us, without
any articles Of barter.
He Of course had not sufficient food
with him to last for the whole journey,
and could not have carried it II he had.
