 The department of marine biology at Dry Tortugas. Florida, is making c6psiderable progress toward learning the secrets of ocean life. Davenport Hooker has discovered that newly matched loggerhead turtles are strong ly attracted by the color blue. They twill crawl quickly toward a piece of blue glass or paper. but they have no proconceived idea of the appearance of the ocean, crawling away from the sea if it is seen through a glass of other color than blue. He concludes that they are attracted to the ocean solely through the color of its waters. Neither the sound nor the smell of the ocean attracts them. A great number of other investigations has been carried on by this department, most of them jtoo technical for descroption here, but each important to the final success of the whole work.
