Evening journal., 1898-07-11
DEEP SEA LIFE.
Condition for fishes at
ANY Depth.

Results Of deep sea dredging are diff
ferent In different oceans. A series OF
experiments made in the Aegean sea,
which Is a part of the Mediterranean,
seems to establish the fact lhlt there
was an abundance OF life in the shallow
water, which diminished tin IL found a
limit at 300 fathoms, below which no
life seemed 10 exist. 1t was after
ward shown, when repairing a cable on
the coast Of Africa, that animals were
attached TO the cable that had been "
ing at a depth Of 200 fathoms. This.
however, was exceptional for the Med
iterranean. Both the English and
American governments have made ex-
tensive research In the bottoms OF diff
ferent oceans, with very interesting re-
suits to science. 1t is proved by
these dredgings that there is abund-
ant life in the Atlantic ocean as
deep down as $500 fathoms. or
nearly three miles. One result Of
these soundings was to establish the
fact that there were currents reaching
to great depths moving in opposite di-
rectlons, with Is degrees difference Of
temperature within a short distance.
The Mediterranean seems TO be an ex-
cepdon to the general rule in the mat
ter of deep-sea life. The reason is
found In the fact that there is Shiny
sediment in the deeper portion Of this
sea that interferes with animal respira-
ton, the same as an extremely thick
dust would in the air. Life is supported
in the water the same as on Landry
breathing oxygen. In the one case it Is
absorbed from the air and in the other
case from the water Pure water Is TO
the Sc animal what pure air is TO the
land animal. The sea animal could not
live in muddy water continuously any
more than we could exist continuously
in an atmosphere filed with dust. 1t
IS thus seen that depth is not the only
/ condition that affects animal life on the
bed of the sea. The nature of the soil
and deposits are factors, as well as the
/ temperature of the water However
there are certain forms Of life 20 be
found in the lowest temperatures. But
as is the case on land, we do not find the
same kind Of life in the colder nnd
deeper zones OF the ocean as in tho
warmer and more shallow parts.
In the cold waters the animals ar,
dwarfed in size, somewhat as we fine
them in high mountain regions. 1t i
said that the starfish will grow as large

sage which may be considered OF suili-
cient interest at the present time to be
reproduced. For more than 40 years
the Great Duke had been on intimate
terms of friendship with Mr.. Croker
and made call upon him ten days be-
fore his death. Croker made a memo
randum of his conversation, part OF
which turned upon the value of the
Spanish troops which he had for allies
in the peninsula campaigns. MIR.
Croker, it will be remembered, was sec
retary of the admiralty, and was in
Paris with the allies of the battle of
Waterloo. Here is an extract from
his memorandum of the interview Of
September IA, 1852:
reminded him that one day In Paris,
when the emperor of Russia and king
of Prussia dined with him, something
was suggested that might have been
better done at Waterloo, and he said;
"Yes, ! could have done il il had 10000
Of my old Spanish infantry" Castle
Teagh was by. sitting near me, and said:
"What can he mean? He never said q
word to us Of those Spaniards during
the whole peninsular war but that they
were worse than nothing"
Duke-Oh, yes; remember. l had
in my youth read of the old Spanish in
fantry as the finest soldiers In the world
till they were cut 20 pieces and de-
stroyed in one. think, of the great
Condos battles; and this name "old
Spanish infantry" had taken hold OF
me, and used to call my old English
regiments who were serving with me
in the peninsula the old Spanish in
fantry. This gave rise to Castlereagh's
mistake. which I remember made us
laugh.
Croker-Did you ever see Spanish
troops really stand to their work ant
fight?
Duke-No; the best would fire vol
ley while the enemy was out of reach
and then all ran away. They were, nj
doubt. individually as brave as othel
men. am sure they were vain enough
Of their bravery. but never could ge
them to stand their ground.-Bostor
