eXtreme TO refuse TO believe them because
they tell of unfamiliar things.
Authentic Cases.
In the London Times of Oct 10, 1s4s,
appears a communication dated Ply
mouth, Oct. 7, stating that the Daedalus.
frigate, Capt. Patrick McQuhar, had just
reached that port from the East Indies.
The correspondent went on to say that
while the vessel was between the Cape
of Good Hope and st. Helena the cap
tain and most of his officers saw a great
sea serpent that passed under the quarter
and remained in sight for twenty minutes.
The animal held its head about four feet
out of the water and about sixty feet OF
its length stretched in a straight line on
the surface, while a portion estimated to
be thirty or forty feet long was under
water. It's jaws were full of
teeth and opened widely enough
for man to stand erect between
them. At the time this was seen
the ship was sailing north al eight knots.
On the day following the publication of
this letter The admiralty called on Capt.
McQuhar for an official report, and this
formal statement appeared in the Times
on Oct. H. By the report it seems that
on Aug. 6, 1StS. at p. m. the Dledalus
was in latitude "A degrees 81 minutes south
and longitude 8 degrees % minutes east
when the serpent was seen by Mr.. Sar-
torls, midshpman. and by him was re-
ported to Lieut.. Edgar Drummond. officer
of the watch who was walking on the
deck with William Barrett, master, and
the captain. The animal was seen by all
of them and by others on board, and the
description was the same as that given
above, except that it was said TO be of a
brown color, with yellowish white about
the throat and 10 have a reddish name
just behind the head The captain made
several sketches of the animal, which he
inclosed with his report, and which the
admiralty permitted 20 be published in
1913
In the same number of the last named
periodical is a letter from James Hender-
son of the Mary Ann of Glasgow The
letter says that on Sept. 80, 1S4S he spoke
the American brig Daphne of Boston.
Capt, Mark Frelawney, in Lisbon and
that the mate Of the Daphne reported that
on Sept. 20 preceding, in latitude degrees
II minutes south, lognitude 10 degrees Is
minutes east, serpent 100 feet long was
sighted The description given CORE
sponded closely with that of the monster
seen by Capt. McQuhar and ii may have
been the same.
A Huge Monster.
The Graphic of June 60 1877, contains a
report of a monster seen by Lieut. w. P
Haynes of II. NJ. S. Osborne. off the
northern coast of Sicily on June of that
year
1t was first seen as a row of fms of
irregular nights and in a line some thirty
or forty feet long. 1t was distant from

Seen. But Never Captured.
Many of the inhabitants Of the depths
are too large too swift. TOO wary or too
cunning TO be taken bN our nets or
dredges, but from time to time specimens
of these are cast ashore by storms or are
found dead on the surface. One of these
that has never been captured by an explor-
ing ship is the Ragalecus, or oar fish, a
serpent-shaped. rapid-swimming form, us
ually from eighteen to twenty-four feet
long. Prof. Gunther of the British Mu-
scum gives a list of forty four that have
been seen by naturalsts but this repre-
SCENTS only a fraction of the whole number
that have been actually stranded. II is
widely distributed and has been sighted
in every part Of the world In color the
Regalecus is silver gray with spots or
streaks of darker tint Its head is OBJ
long and the cleft of he woo'h is verU-
cal, not horizontal, as usual. The lin on
the back makes an elevated crest that is
sometimes divided into two parts, and the
two ventral fins expand into bade-like
tips at their extremities II can be seen
at once that this fish when swimming at
the surface will present most of the fea-
lures sascribed TO the serpent" when al
lowance is made for exaggeration. One
of these animals came ashore at Hungry
bay in Bermuda. in 1860. and, although
but seventeen feet long, it was described
as much longer by those who saw IT be-
fore its capture They also said that il
had head like that of an immense horse
and a name that was flaming red. This
latter feature was the dorsal fin and
doubtless the ventral fms were the flap
pers" seen by Lieut,sHaynes from the Os-
borne.
An Absurd Mistake.
Not all of the tales of the sea serpent
are so well sustained as those based on
the Regalecus, and absurd mistakes have
been made by enthusiasts In 1911 an al
legged sea serpent was seen off Glouces-
ter, Mass, and an investigation was set
on foot by the Linnaean Society of New
England. After a while a curiously shap
ed reptile was taken that the committee
pronounced TO be the young of the mon
ster that had been seen, and gave IL the
nome "Scoliophis atlanticus" The re-
port was prepared by Amos Story, and
was published by the society, but it sub
sequently developed that the Young sea
serpent was a common black snake with
rachetie spine. The society could not
survive the derison with which this re-

OF course, neither the records for the

mention of such dead animals as we're re-

IL will be argued that despite the fact
that IL is popularity supposed that the
dog is more likely 10 be attacked by

gerous maladies, he enjoys better health
in summer than he does in winter. With
cats It would appear that pussy Is much
more likely to succumb 40 hot than to

pointed out that the greater number of
deaths of horses in cold weather Is prob
ably due to the fact that il is much more

something uncommon. What is was is a
matter for further research. When Bruce
published his work on Abyssinia it was
greeted with Incredibly and its author de-
nounced in terms of unmeasured abuse,

ridiculous by further explorations in Az
RIGA. and their ignorant pedantry should

as this is in general. 1t is particularly
true when the fauna of the sea is con-

Difficulties of Oceanic Research.
The practical difficulties Of oceanic re-
search are such that our knowledge OF
the abyssmal depths can increase but
slowly, and despite the efforts of the past
half century the specimens in our mu-

IL is VIGOROUSLY difficult to prove a
negative, and Il is especially so when
litue is known of the real facts. For
this reason it is impossible to assert posi-
lively that no such animal as the sea SER
pent exists. although the evidence in ia
vor OF its existence is far from convinc-
ing The mere fact that II has not been
captured is no sign that il may not be
found, as there are other aquatic animals
that are known, although no specimens
are to be had.
Unknown Fishes.
In making Investigations into the fur
seals few years ago it was found that
the stomachs Of many of the seals con-
tained the bones of small FISH that must
exist in great numbers, and yet not a SIN
gle spa c men was taken by the scientls.s
This fish Is known only from It's bones
and doubtless many forms ore in the sea
that have not given any signs of their
presence. The struggle for food is such
that a dead body is rapidly devoured by
rayenous neighbors, and the chance Of
finding any remains Of II is very small
so that an animal Of even the dimensions
attributed TO these monsters may remain
undiscovered. In the past gigantic ami
mails existed that have left nothing bur
their footprints. The Connecticut valley
is rich in the footprints Of some great or
ganism Of which no other trace remains.
If such was the fate Of organisms in re-
mote geological eras Il may be the same
with those Of to-day
From what has been definitely ascer.
Gained about the fauna Of the sea the
probabilities are against the existence OF
any such monster as the sea serpent but
further than THIS It is unsafe to go with

that a school OF dolphins plunging and

In other cases a gigantic cuttlehsh or

deny the possibility Of there being a sea
