tie best methods for sterilizing tooth

because 1t sterilizes is 1t SO excellent,

Why Fish Do Not Travel Far.

Animals Of both land and sea are
confined within rather narrow limits
of pressure. In his book on the North
sea fisheries. Neal Green shows that
the North sea fishes are lsolat-
ed In their own little world,
for they cannot migrate to the At
lnntic Depths, and, with a few
Fach exceptions as the eel, deep
tra fishes cannot enter shallow wa
rs Foraging for food is the fish's
occupation. The North sea fishes will
not descend into the ocean because
there is no food to attract, their eyes
are not adapted to the darkness, and
the pressure Of the water Is greater
than ordinary fish can endure In the
depths there are no seasonal changes,
No currents. Everything is uniform,
stagnant, black, and the only fishes
that can see are those specially en-.
lowed with enormous eyes to per-
c.ive the phosphorescent glow of 9TH
ers of their kind. If they could rise
to the conditions Of the North sea,
these deep sea jewellers would be
helpless, II net destroyed by the re-
taaso from external pressure.
