The Green of the Sea,

The green color of ocean water de-
ponds upon the number OF medusae
and other hlinute animal forms which
inhabit it. The deep green northern
seas literally swarm with these minia-
ture creatures. In some places as many
as 12S Of them have been found in q
single cubic inch Of water In this
proportion Il cubic foot Of water would
contain 22l, Isl; cubic fathom, A.
116,144, and cubic mile As, re, OO0,-
OO0,OC0. From soundings made in the
districts where these creatures are
found IN such immense numbers, it Is
probable that the waters will average
a mile in depth Whether these forms
occupy the whole depth Is uncertain.
Provided. however, the denth to
which they extend is but $50 fathoms,
the above immense number Of ole spe-
cies may occur within space of one
square mile.
