CM. Q. NO 91 - 95

The strongest haunts of life are in the deep sea, by which is meant the floor of the deepest part of the ocean and the layers of dark water near the floor. Life is found six miles below the surface where the water pressure is enormous more than 6000 pounds to the square inch. It is very cold there always about zero. It is also absolutely dark except for the fitful gleams of some fishes which, like fireflies, give out light of their own. It is too deep and dark for any plants to grow because paints need light, but no depth it seems, is too great for animal life

As there are no plants at this depth the animals must feed upon one another. The struggle to live is keen. The stomachs of some of the fishes stretch amazingly, so they may swallow objects larger than themselves. When a whale or a tortoise meets death in the ocean and sinks to the bottom there is a great feasting by millions of living things till the monster is devoured.

The sea swarms with strange and curious animals prowling about in the dark, some with long feelers and some with ling limbs like stills. Then, there are the cuttle fishes and true fishes stealing along. Certain kinds here are blind. They depend upon great feelers to get about and capture food

In the blackness of the deep sea many animals produce their own lights. This light may attract other fishes wanted fir food. But some deep-sea fishes have very large eyes so as to see in the clear light that they themselves make.

1. NO 91 - 95

The strongest haunts of life are in the deep sea, by which is meant the floor of the deepest part of the ocean and the layers of dark water near the floor. Life is found six miles below the surface where the water pressure is enormous more than 6000 pounds to the square inch. It is very cold there always about zero. It is also absolutely dark except for the fitful gleams of some fishes which, like fireflies, give out light of their own. It is too deep and dark for any plants to grow because paints need light, but no depth it seems, is too great for animal life

As there are no plants at this depth the animals must feed upon one another. The struggle to live is keen. The stomachs of some of the fishes stretch amazingly, so they may swallow objects larger than themselves. When a whale or a tortoise meets death in the ocean and sinks to the bottom there is a great feasting by millions of living things till the monster is devoured.

The sea swarms with strange and curious animals prowling about in the dark, some with long feelers and some with ling limbs like stills. Then, there are the cuttle fishes and true fishes stealing along. Certain kinds here are blind. They depend upon great feelers to get about and capture food

CR. Q. NO 96 to 100: Fingerprints are the marks made by the ridges on the ends of the fingers and thumbs. These ridges form a pattern that stays the same throughout a person’s life. No two persons have ever had the same fingerprints. So, fingerprints are a foolproof way of identifying a person.

A fingerprint record is made in an interesting manner. A small piece of metal is coated with a thin film of ink. Next, a person’s finger and thumb tips are pressed against the inked surface. Then, the fingertips are pressed on a white card. The prints are recorded in exact detail

Fingerprinting is often used to solve crimes. Fingerprints are picked up at the scene of a crime. These are compared with those of a suspect. Millions of fingerprints are kept on files by police departments. Fingerprinting is also used in finding missing persons and identifying unknown dead.
