Exploding Fishes LIVE In Deep Sea.
| When a disaster oecursat2sea and peo-
nle read thar some leviaunn vcsesi has
gone down to the utmost depth of the
ocean. imagination is stirred in wonder
| ing what conditions surround her.
| According TO Sir John Murray, one OF
| the greatest authorities on occanosraphS.
tho bottom is Il desert of pitch-blaek
darkness. penetrating cold and eternal
| silence. Worms sea buildings and coral
pelvps sluggishly crawl or sway in the
almost eurrentless depths, and only two
| sneeies of fish, both of them small, with
| much head and little body, have been
| found deeper than mile and a quarter
| down.
| The range of fishes in the sea is as
| though it were divided into layers, one
above the other, and no fish can live
above or below this layer. Thus many OF
| the deeper fish--three-quarters of mile
below the surface-have been found float
| ing at the top They had swallowed a
fish as large or larger than themselves
and It's buoyancy had lifted them out of
| the strata TO which they were accus-
toned.
| The physiology of bottom fish is al
| most impossible to know, because they
are built to resist a tremendous pressure
| of water and when this pressure is re-
| leased-as when they are brought to tho
| surface in a net-sometimes the fish has
burst. the organs are crushed beyond
| reconstruction.
| Similarly if a fish of higher statum
attacks a bottom fish in the neutral zone
happens-his teeth become entangled so
| that he cannot let go, and he is dragged
| into deeper water. he strangles instantly,
| for his breathing arrangements are of no
use to him under the pressure of water
| in the lower strata of the sea. AS
| rule. however. the fish of the various
| depths rarely feed on those above or be-
| low them.
There have been brought to light an
| astonishing number of forms of fish. and
! especially of prawns of brilliantly red
| color. living in the ocean at depth OF
/ 3OOo feet But, astonishing as it may
| seem. these brilliantly colored fish and
| prawns, instead of being conspicuous in
| the water at that DEPTH are nearly in
visible. when almost any other color
| could be easily seen.-Exchange.
