Things That Happen at the Bottom

Naturalists dispute as to the quantity
of light at the bottom of the sea. AMI
mails from below 700 fathoms either
have no eyes or faint indications OF
them. or else their eyes are very large
and protruding.
Another strange thing is that II the
creatures in the lower depths have any

orange. Sea anemones, corals, shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color.
Sometimes II is pure red or scarlet,

The orange red is the tish's protec-
ton, for the blush green light In the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red FISH appear of neutral tint
and hides 1t from Its enemies. Many
animals are black. others neutral In

boring tails, so that they can burrow
in the mud.
The surface of the submarine noun
tain is covered with shells, like an or
dinary seabeach, showing that 1t is the
