DEEP SEA DESOLATION.
The'Qoean'Bed a Desert 'of Slime Af
' ter tie First Mile in Depth.
j
'..Despite the fanciful pictures
which some writers have drawn of
-phevfjcean bed, its desolation, at
least jn me deepest parts, must De
extreme. Beyond the first mile it
is a fast desert of slime and ooze,
Vchich is constantly dripping a rain
ofdad carcasses from the surface,
which carcasses supply the nour
ishment for the scanty fauna in
habiting the 'abysmal region in
some places more than five miles
from tbe sunshine and the micro
scope reveab that the slimy mat
ter covering the deepestccean bed
is very similar in composition to
the ancient -chalk of the cre
taceous period, while mixed with
it here and there are minute me
tallic and magnetic bodies, which
have been proved to be dust from
meteorites. At long .intervals a
phosphorescent light gleams from
the head of some passing fish
which has straye'd hither' from a
higher happier ione. But it is
not until we have mounted a good
deal nearer the surface that the
scene changes for the better. 'Wo
now meet with forests of brilliant
ly colored sponges, while the phos
phorescent animals swimming
about are much more numerous,
and the neaier we get to the lit
toral zone more and more phos
phorescent lights appear, till at
length the scene becomes truly
animated. When only twelve
hundred feet separate from the
sunshine wo come upon the first
seaweed and kelp (twelve hundred
leet is the deepest limits of plant
life in water); but we must .rise
still another thousand feet and
more, and get up as near the top
as 120 feet before we find any
reef-building corals. As plants do
not live in deep sea, the deep sea"
animals either prey on one another
or get"their'fOodfrxJmdead organ
ism and plants which sink down
to them. .Thus "Maury saysr
"The sea, like the snow cloud
with its flakes ih'acalm, is always
letting fall upon its bed showers
of microscopic shells." Arid ex
periment proves that-a tiny shell
would take -about a week to fall
from the 'sbt face to tho deepest J
aepins. orace sunngnt-aoes not
penetrate much further than the"
littoral zone, there woullbe !(
yond this perpetual darkness ex
cept for. phosphorescence. Many
Of the animals inhabiting the con
tinental and abysmal zones have
merely rudimentary eyes; -but
tnese blind creatures have very
long feelers, which help them -to
grope their way along the bottom.
Other deep sea animals on the
contrary, have enormous eyes an(l
these very likely congregate
around such of their number, as
are phosphorescent, and many per
haps follow the moving lamp posts
about wherever they go. And- so
bright is this light on many of the
fish brought up by the dredge
that during the brief space the
animals survive it is not difficult
to read by it.
The reason why fishes and mol
lusks living more than three miles
under water, are able to bear a
pressure of several tons is that
they have exceedingly loose tissues
which allow the water to flow
through every interstice and thus
to equalize the weight. When the
pressure is removed they perish.
In the Challenger expedition sent
out by the British government,
all tbe sharks brought up irom a
depth of a little lessthan threc
qnarters of a mile were dead when
they got to the surface. Catholic

In a malady so hard to dislodge as rheuma
tism? Another thing. It Is well ascertained
that a falling off in visor, resulting fruni In

likely to act as pr entatlic aside from Us
