the pores and lateral canals emitting soft,
silvery glow. In others rows OF minute
luminous organs run along the sides of the
body or there are flashing light spots on
the head or face.
What a wonderful sight it would be to
us to see a black fish fitting through the
silence and darkness of the deeps, with its
headlights and row of Illuminating pores
cleaning like a passing express train in a
night of darkness and fog! Some deep sea
fishes have a luminous organ at the end of
feeler on the head, which is waved as a
lure to attract prey.

head, with a small, wicked eve. Naturally,
his gill openings are larger, because as he
lives nearer the surface he can obtain more
oxygen when breathing. At his depth range
this sharkS has more numerous forms to
prey on, and his teeth are a warning to the
fellows which inhabit the ranges below him
to stay there.
Professor Walter K. Fisher, of Stanford
University, has discovered IN the north
Pacific Ocean the most peculiar starfish
yet brought to light. He has given it the
name Of trophodiscus. It is the only star
fish known that broods its young like a
hen Further, the mamma starish carries
its young about on its back. Its large
stomach has only a single chamber and It
is enabled to swallow whole large molluscs
and digest them at leisure.
Among the multiplicity of deep sea forms
now in possession Of the United States
National Museum, some of the more re-
cent discoveries seem to surpass in strange.
ness and grotesqueness all the catches
heretofore acquired. Their life habits must
be guessed from their teeth and other fea-
lures. Some Of them live at such great
depths, that when brought TO the surface
their stomachs explode simply because they
are relieved from the pressure OF water.
Others in this condition have occasionally

arches.
Why should any animals seek to live
under such horrible conditions? The only
explanation is that their ancestors fed to
the depths when huge monsters, such as
the ichthyosaurus and the plesiosaurus
lived near the surface and devoured every
living thing they found. These huge crea-
lures could not bear the pressure at great
depths and so the smaller monsters sur
Yived there.
The temperatures and amount of light at
various depths have been fixed by DR..
George E. McEwen, photographer of the
Scripps Institution of the University of
California.
Establishing a unit of sea light at three
feet depth at 100 per cent he found that
at 200 feet the light had diminished to
per cent. Establishing the surface tenn
perature at from 81 degrees Fahrenheit
to 6S degrees Fahrenheit, he found that
it diminished to "A degrees Fahrenheit at

Deep sea fishes below a certain point live
in perpetual darkness. There are, of

The temperature falls down
to freezing in the sea depths
and this has a profund effect
on the creatures. The amount
of oxygen dissolved in the wa

the surface. The breathing
apparatus Of depth fishes is
modified to suit such condi-
tons. The gill flaments have

"In some FORMS" says DR..

periences in tropical waters, when every
thing is black and sultry in a dead calm,
and glimmering fishes dart here and there,
their forms silvery and ghost-like, out
lined against the blackness Of the sea. The
effect is due to the oxidation Of the Shiny
secretion covering their bodies. Deep sea
expeditions witness, on favorable coca
sions, fishes brought to the surface by
travis flashing brilliant light from the ends
of the tentacles or phosphorescent pores.
In the case Of fishes totally blind, the alb
sence Of light is compensated by the de-

feelers, modified from fin rays, so that they
can feel their way through the darkness"
Deep sea fishes are all carnivorOus and
ferOcious, because the absence of light
makes the growth of vegetation impossible

War Foods for Animals.

In several European countries,
notably Sweden and Germany, the
scarcity of cattle fodder has led to
experiments with various substitutes
for the usual feed given to cattle. 1t
has been found that dried wood pulp
provides a good cattle fodder when
mixed with molasses and albuminous
substances. In Germany straw fod-
der is being manufactured on large
scale; while in Sweden reindeer moss
and Iceland moss are extensively useu
as fodder. Horses are said to thrive
very well on the diet of rushes.-

The activities of German U-boats off
the Atlantic coast have grown so an

devoted a long meeting to discussing

them and the ways of combating
them. The submarines, in addition to
sinking number of steamers and at
lacking others, in some cases only a
few miles from the harbor of New
York, also destroyed considerable
number of fishing vessels off New Eng
land. Several fights with these U-boats
were reported and 1t was believed that
at least one of them was sunk. What
was believed to be a gas attack on
the coast guard station and lighthouse
on Smiths island. South Carolina, in
which several men We're overcome, has
not yet been explained though the
theory that the poison gas came from
a submarine was discarded. Presum-
ably the fact that our naval vessels
are pretty busy on convoy duty accounts
for the comparative immunity of these
U-boats along the Atlantic coast.
The steady decline Of the German
submarine campaign is emphasized by
the official reports on sinkings and
shipbuilding for July. The allied and
neutral shipping sunk during the month
amounted to 27O,0OO tons, compared
with 534,S39 tons sunk in July. 1917.
During the month the allied nations
constructed a tonnage in excess Of
100000 to that destroyed by enemy op-
eratiOnS.
The administrations man-power bill
extending the draft age to eighteen
and fOrty-five years was reported to
the senate Thursday and that body
prepared to take it up and act on it
speedily. Chairman Chamberlain In
reporting the measure said General
March told the military affairs COM
mittee that he believed 100000 Amer
leans under one commander could go
through the German lines whenever
they pleased and that if the ages are
fixed as asked, the voluntary enlist
ment system automatically ends. He
also said all the men called for active
service under the amended act would
De in France by next June. The new
American war program, 1t was re-
vealed, calls for so divisions, or about
100000 men, in France and Is more
divisions in training in America, by
June 80, 1919.
Mr.. Chamberlain told the senate
that President Wilson's program called
for concentration of American forces
on the western front, including Italy,
and that the theory of the fighting in
the future is that we must force the
issue and win on the western front.
The bill as reported contains work
or fight provision to which organized
labor, through Samuel Gompers, has
filed emphatic objection.
The immediate need for more fight
ing men induced the president to issue
on Wednesday a proclamation calling
for the registration, on August "A, OF
all young men who shall have become
twenty-one years of age between June 5
last and that day. This extra enroll
ment, it is believed, will include about
10000 men, one-half of whom are fit
for military duty.
