Things That Happen at the Bottom
of the Sea
Naturalists dispute as to the quantity
of light at the bottom of the sea Am
mats from below 700 lathoms either
have no eyes or faint indications ot
them or else their eyes are very large
and protruding
Another strange thing is that If the
creatures m the lower depths have any
color it is orange or red or reddish
orange Sea anemones corals shrimps
and crabs have this brilliant color
Sometimes it is pure red or scarlet
and in many specimens it inclines to
ward purple Not a green or blue fish
is found
The orange red is the fishs protec
tion for the bluish green light iu the
bottom of the ocean makes the orange
or the red fish appear ot a neutral tint
and hides it from its enemies Many
animals are black others neutral m
color Some fish are provided with
boring tails so that they can burrow
iu the mud
The surface of the submarine moun
tain is covered with shells like an or
dinary seabeach showing that it is the
feasting place of vast shoals of car
nivorous animals
A coddsb takes a whole oyster into
its mouth cracks the shell digests the
meat and ejects the shelL Crabs crack
the shells and suck out the meat This
accounts for whole mounds ot shells
that are often tound
Not a fishbone is ever found that
is not honeycombed by the boring
shellfish and falls to pieces at the
touch of the hand This shows what
destruction is constantly going on in
these depths
If a ship sinks at sea with all on
board it will be eaten by fish with the
exception of the metal and that will
corrode aud disappear Not a bone of
a human body will remain after a few
days Philadelphia North American
