DEEP SEA WONDERS.
Wonderful Fish Specimens on

Meeting OF the Two Boring Sea Com
missions-The Cakes Discharging
Water Front Notes.

The government steamer Albatross returned
from Tacoma yesterday, having left the two
members OF the BeTing sea commission there.
She lay at anchor off Shepard d Henry's wharf
all day, and last evening observation-disclosures
reporter visited her. The officers were all ashore
taxing N the city with the exception OF Ensign
E. A. Anderson and Chief Engineer a. NJ. Hunt.
Mr. Anderson showed the reporter through the
laboratory, which contains collection OF
every conceivable form Of animal life
taken from the deep sea. The collec-
ton contains hundreds OF specimens, chiefly
of fishes, some of which were taken ut depth
of four or five miles. The water pressure at this
depth, or even at the depth OF two miles, is so
great that the effect on the fishes of bringing
them to the surface is about the same as the
effect on an individual who ascends to great
distance in the air, but is more marked owing
TO the greater weight of water as compared with
air. Mr.. Anderson said that fishes brought to
the surface from any great depth could hot sink
again. Their eyes and internal organs would
drop out. Their shapes also peculiar as
compared with those specimens found
near the surface. The fish caught
with net troll made in the form
OF Il cone and kept open By means OF a weight
on the bottom and an air globe on top. This
troll is drawn across the bottom and raised
frequently to see ii there is anything in it. The
air globe that holds up the top of this troll is
inch thick. and the pressure is great that
water is forced right through the glass and can
be seen on the inside raising it, Several of
those globes which had become half full OF
water in this way were shown to reporter
Another interesting arrangement is that for
taking soundings at great depths. The temper
allure of the water is registered by it and par
ticles OF earth raised, which, under the micro
scope, give evidence OF the nature of the bottom
Mr.. Anderson said that swhen the vessel

CT the commission was TO gather laets

that there are not more than one-tenfh the seals
around the islands now there were ten years
ago. While there we took three rsprlsais-two
British and one American, and we gave warn-

our trip was very pleasant, but the weather was
very foggv while we were north. We haruly

Frank Schafer, Newspaper Carrier
Loses His Life.

Frank Schafer, the 16- year old son of William
Schafer, carpenter living on Main street near
Pearl, was drowned last evening in Lake Wash
ington.
At O'Clock, accompanied by several boys of
about his own age, Frank Schafer went out to
the lake to battle. Schafer could not swim and
so he went TO a place where there were logs in
the water, about half mile north of the Yeser
avenue cable line powerhouse, and pushing
one of the logs out into deep water he hung
onto one end and kicked about with his feet
He was about 100 feet from shore when the
steamer Kirkland steamed along. and when the
swells made by the boat struck the log the boy
unconsciously let go his hold aud sank When
he came up the log was out of reach and before
he could be rescued by his companions and sew
eral men who saw the accident, he sank Tor the
last time.
The body was found and taken ashore after
| being in the water about twenty minutes. Drs
| Herrick and Ross, OF Tacoma, who were on
| their way to East Seattle, arrived and used
| every means to save the boy, but in vain. Dr.
| Parker arrived on the scene later and also at
tempted to bring the boy to life, but he had been
| too long in the water and no physical aid could
restore animation.
| When il was known that he was dead the cor

was necessary. The remains were taken in
