ty and by their radiance when moving about un-
der water by fish can be discerned. Bibra,
the British naturalist, utilized the animals for
light, and half dozen of them at one side OF a
small room would furnish sufficient light for the
reading of newspaper at the other side.
Crabs are notable light givers. and the Salpa
OF California is the most wonderful OF all. Bodies
OF water 20 miles square have been seen glowing
with them, and in the Santa Catalina channel one
naturalist reported that as far as the eye could
see the creatures lay cleaning like gems in the
sunlight.
Many luminous frogs have been discovered
from time to time, and any frog may be made
luminous by inoculating II with certain bacteria
which produce this phenomenon.
Many theories have been brought forward to
explain the phenomenon OF luminosity but yet
very little is known about. In many instances,
such as the cases OF dead leaves decayed wood,
luminosity is evidently due to fungous growth,
but in other cases. where no growth can be seen.
the riddle remains unsoved along with many
other marvels of nature.
