Show Syphoned Oxygen. The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean are continuously supplied with air, else life In the depths could not be supported. Dr. Carl Hering suggests sug-gests in Science that the oxygen is siphoned down by pressure. Those who have witnessed the opening of a champagne bottle understand that a liquid will bold more gas in stable solution so-lution under pressure than when un-confined. un-confined.
