DEEP SEA' DESOLATION.
Straaga aad Start Uag Stgbk
Datb W taw Unas,
Despite the fanciful pictures which
some writers have drawn of the ocean
bed, its desolation, at least in its deep
est parts, must be extreme. ' Beyond
the first mile it is a vast desert of sums
and oom, upon which is constantly
dripping a rain of dead caress, sea from
the surface, which rjutasses supply
the nourishment for the scanty fauna
inhabiting the abyssal region in some
Blaoea more than Bvs miles from
is sunshine snd the microscope re
veals that the slimy matter covering
the deepest ocvaa bed is very similar
in comptwition to the ancient chalk of
the cetaceous period,' while mixed
with it here snd there sir minute me
tallic and magnetic bodies which hsve
been proved to be ausl trow meteor
ites. At long distances s' phosphores
cent light gleams from the head of
some passing fish which hss strayed
thither from S higher and happier
sons, ) r ...
But it is not until we have mounted
a good deal nearer the surface that the
scene changes for 11 te belter, we now
meet with forests of brilliantly colored
sponees, while the phosphorescent an
imals swimming about are much more
numerous, and the nearer we get to
the littoral tone more and more phos
phorescenl lights appear, till at length
truly animated.
When only l.xuu feet separate us
from the sunshine we come uiion the
Hrst seaweed and kelp (l.HXJ feet is lbs
deepest limit of plant lire in water).
but we roust rise still another 1,000 feet
and more, and get as near the top as
