UNDER THE OCEAN.
Things That Happen at the Bottom
of the Sea.

Things That Happen at the Bottom
of the Sea.
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 If the
creatures in the lower depths have any
color it Is orange or red or reddish
/ orange Sea anemones. corals, shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color.
| Sometimes it is pure red or scarlet.
and In many specimens 1t inclines to-
ward purple. Not green or blue fish
is found.
The orange red is the fiSh's protec-
| ton, for the blush green light IN the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear of a neutral tint
and hides 1t from its enemies. Many
animals are black, others neutral in
color. Some fish are provided with
boring tails. so that they can burrow
| in the mud.
The surface of the submarine noun
! tain is covered with shells, like an or
binary seabeach, showing that it Is the
feasting place of vast shoals of car
nivorous animals.
A Goldfish takes a whole oyster into
its mouth. cracks the shell, digests the
meat and elects the shell. Crabs crack
the shells and suck out the meat. This
accounts for whole mounds Of shells
| that are often found.
Not a fishbone is ever found that
is not honeycombed by the boring
shellfish and falls to pieces at the
| touch of the hand. This shows what
| destruction is constantly going on in
these depths.
| If a ship sinks at sea with all on
board it will be eaten by fish, with the
exception of the metal. and that will
corrode and disappear. Not bone OF
human body will remain after few
days.-Philadelph North American.

GUN COTTON.
A Peculiar Characteristic of This Ter
rible Explosive.


rble Explosive.
Many and odd are the materials en-
tering into the manufacture of modern
explosives, but perhaps the most inter-
eSting of ali these elements OF deStruc-
ton as well as the simplest is gun cot
ton. The gun cotton manufacturing in
dustry is large. as enormous quantities
are used i'll the charging of torpedoes
and for similar purposes.
The base of gun cotton is pure raw
cotton or even cotton waste. such as Is
used to clean machinery. This is steep
ed in solution Of one part OF nitric
and three parts of sulphuric acid. 1t is
the former Ingredient that renders the
mass explosive, the Sulphuric acid be
ing used merely to absorb all moisture.
thus permitting the nitric acid TO com
bine more readily with the cellulose OF
the cotton.
After being soaked for several hours
in the solution described the cotton

to completion by washing the cotton IN
clear water This washing process is a
long one. requiring machinery which
reduces the cotton to a mass resenl-
bling paper pulp Should any nonaD
sorbed acid be allowed TO remain it
would decompose the cotton.
If the explosive is TO be used after
the manner of powder it is still fur

dried. but if intended for tOrpedoes 1t
is pressed into cakes of various shapes
and sizes-disk shaped. cylindrical. fiat
squares and cubes. When not com
pressed gun cotton is very light. as
light as ordinary batting.
A peculiar characteristic of this ter
rible explosive is that brick of it
when wet may be placed on a bed OF
hot Goals. and as the moisture dries out
the cotton will fake and burn quietly
If dry originally. however. the gun cot
ton will explode with terrible force at
about 800 degrees of heat.
In general it is the custom to ex-
plode gun cotton by detonation or an
intense shock instead of by heat. In a
torpedo the explosive charge is wet.
this wet cotton being exploded by
means of dry cotton in tube, this
having been fired by a cap of fulmi-
nate of mercury, the cap itself having
been fired by the impact of the torpedo
against the target.-Harper's Weekly.
