times the deep sea fish, in a struggle with it's
prey, is carried above or below its depths, In
which case both are destroyed.
When fish from the greatest depths reach the
top they are always dead, having been killed by
the change in pressure in the early stage of their
upward journey. Many of the creatures from the
depths are cartilaginous and do not have a bony
structure. Nearly all the fishes have formidable
teeth and are extremely voracious, with mouths
Of enormous, capacity; in fact, some have stom-
achs OF such expansion that they can perform the
astonishing gastronomic feat of swallowing ami
mails larger than themselves.
Probably the most interesting and astonishing
of the deep sea jewellers are the luminous fishes,
marvelously equipped with organs for projecting
light. These light organs are a means of illumin-
ating the dark abyssal regions which they inhabit
and Of enabling them to avoid foes, recognize
their own kind and capture prey. Many of these
fishes display curious eyelike organs down the
sides of the body, forming as it were a series of
miniature bulls-eye lanterns, Again, others pos
sess light emitting organs behind the eyes or on
the head and shoulders.
{ Provided with lanterns or luminous spots. these
fishes find their way in the great depths and
pillow through the dark waters like flaming torches.
Some of the deep sea fishes are provided with a
rod which is hinged so that its tip can be swung
Immediately over its back or in front Of the vo-
racious mouth. At the end Of this rod is a lumi-
nous lure. This decoy attracts other sea inhabi-
tants, which are quickly engulfed as they approach
this shining point. Thus the fishing rod is en-
ployed by the fishes Of the deep.
The lamp Is also used by the fish itself in pur-
suit of prey, throwing out a beam of light like
a searchlight as it darts to and fro in the inky
waters. Many of the fishes are totally blind;
these fall easy victims to the hunter after being
detected by the fright rays of the lure.
It has been fol nd that at a depth Of 5000 feet
