A French writer in a scientific maga- zine tells of the great ocban depths of 28,000 to 30,000 feet, the temperature tending toward zero, with perpetual darkness reigning below depths of about 1,280 feet. At that level plants depriv- ed of light cannot exist, and the onimal life must be carnivorous. The organ of sight, not being used, has disappeared, and yet there is light even in that sight- less world. A (lemon exploring ship found a fish with enormous eyes at It depth of 13,400 feet.
