dozen eel-like creatures are shouIdering

they can find. Their one instinct is to
get away from the hated light.
In the Grotto of the Maddelena. in
the caves of Carniola, where the pro-
teus is found, hundreds of feet of rock
shelter them from the suns rays. There
is rocky pool with a bed of mud. Oc-

deeper waters fill this pool, and then a
