FISH THAT GLOW.
ssms Deep Sea Creatures Able to Shed
. fhespherssesn Light.

The inhabitants of the ocean
vary in many respects, according to
the depth at which they live, but
most OF all in their powers of vision.
Fish that live at very great depths
have either no eyes at all or enor-
mouSly big ones. There are two
methods Of getting about in the
gloomiest abysses-fty delicate or
gans of touch and BY sight-that
collects the few rays Of light due to
phosphorescence or other sccidsn-
tai sources
The fish which live near the top
OF the ocean have smaller eyes than
those say eighty fathoms down. One
hundred aud twenty fathoms deep
er, where daylight disappears. the
eyes are bigger still. Beyond the
depth Of 200 fathoms small ewes
prevail, with long feeIers to supple
ment them.
At this depth, in fact, sight is
practically useless. In the greatest
sbysses the fsh are usually blind,
feeling their way about solely by
means of their sensitive bodies.
Some indeed show signs externally
Of having once possessed eyes, but |
that is all.
In others-the oldest and most |
confirmed abysmal species-the eye
has disappeared altogether external
y, though traces of it are still to be
recognized, embedded deeply ia the
issues of the head.
Many deep sea fish have a curious
yatem of hollows in the skull or
bout the body which hold a kind
i Phosphorescent slime. Others
ave round or oval shining opales- (
ent spots, placed on the head or
long the body or tail.
All of them are abundantly sup
lied with nerves, and they are ap-
arently organs for the production J
I phosphorescent light. II so, such s
fish must swim about surrounded {
