Photographs of Curious Monsters of
the Deep-scientific Men Discuss
Form and Habits Of Sea serpents
Where Seen and When.
(special Correspondence.l J

There is a popular ten0ency to in
sist that sea serpents are only the
creatures of the humorists or of sail
ors with distorted imaginations. but
the learned societies of the world
have lent a kindly ear to tales Of
these monsters Of the seas, and while
modern biologists express belief in
'the great unknown" it is expected
that Photographic proof will soon be
added to the ever-increasing number
of declarations of its existence.
The latest learned society to practi-
cally admit the existence Of the mys-
terious leviathan is the French Acad-
emy of Sciences. At a recent meeting
the Academy discussed the subject,
owing to the presentation Of testimony
Of two French naval officers who
claimed to have seen the monster.
The officers attempted to photograph
the serpent, but had no success, and
the Academy, while not doubling that
the sea serpent is fact, did not feel
like putting itself on record until
either specimen is captured or until
Photograph is produced in verifica-
tion.

Judoe THOMPSON as 4 Witness,

A few years ago, in a murder case
being tried at Pennington, Me-, the
Hon. G. NJ Blanchard of Wilton, now
d member Of Gov. Cobb's council, was
conducting the case of the accused,
for whom he was trying, with doubt
full success, to make out case Of in
sanity.
1t appeared during the trial that the
prisoner had been in many Quarreis,
and had been brought many times be-
fore the courts to answer to the law
for his conduct. At one of these trials
ex-Judge Richard Thompson, formerly
of Boston, but now retired farmer
in the town Of Jay, Me-, presided as
trial Justice.
Thompson was a witness at the MUIR
der trial above alluded to, and was
being questioned by Mr.. Blanchard.
The attorney, true to his purpose Of
establishing the insanity of his client,
queried the exjudge as follows:
Judge Thompson, did you notice any
evidences of mental weakness or pc
culiarities in the defendant at this
trial?"
"Y-e-s!" drawled the ex-judge, "he
employed you for counsel"

A very different looking sea serpent
was reported by Captain W. H. Mel

to, in 1877. This animal was seen
in the north Atlantic, and resembied
from the drawings made by the mate
the ancient ichthyosaurus. About

were acting as levers, twisting itself
and victim around with great veloc-
ity. They sank out of sight about
every two minutes, coming to the
surface still revolving, and the strug-
giles of the whale and two other
whales that were near, frantic with
excitement, made the sea in this
vicinity like boiling cauldron.
This strange occurrence lasted
some fifteen minutes, and finished
with the tail portion of the whale
being elevated straight in the air,
then waving backward and forward
and lashing the water furiously in
the last death struggle, when the
whole body disappeared from our
view, going down head foremost to
the bottom, where, no doubt, it was
gorged at the serpent's leisure. Then
two of the largest sperm whales that
l have ever seen moved slowly
thence toward the vessel, their bodies
more than usually elevated out of
water, and not spouting or making
the least noise, but seeming quite
paralyzed with fear"

Monster Seen Of Brazil.

This monster serpent was said to
be about 160 to 40 feet long and
between and 8 feet in circumfer-
ence. Five days later, in the same
latitude and about so miles off the
Brazil coast, the captain saw either
the same one or a similar monster.
This time the sea serpent elevated
itself about 60 feet above the water
and gazed calmly at the ship. The
captain in his report also stated that
a ship in the Indian Ocean, about
three years before this occurrence,
was dragged over by some sea mon
ster."
There are numerous like creditable
reports which might be added, includ-
ing that of the celebrated sea serpent
which in 1919 was seen off Nahant.
Hundreds of persons saw this mon.
ster, and all along the beach parties
followed its course for miles in
coaches, on horseback and running
on foot. All New England was alive

Should Be Washed With Hot MIX and

The following directions are said to

til all the dirt is removed. Then wSpe
dry with a soft flannel When the
leather is clean go over the surface
with a piece Of flannel on which is
spread a tiny piece of prepared wax
The wax should be spread over the
cloth as thinly as possible. After the
waxing go over the leather with a
clean soft flannel, rubbing briskly, but
rot too hard.
A recipe for this wax is as follows:
Put two ounces Of beeswax cut in
small bits into a bowl. Place the
howl in a pan Of hot water on the back

soft beat into It after taking 1t off
the stove a quarter Of cupful Of tur-

At Least sixty Feet Long.

This sea serpent was seen off the
southwest coast of Africa. The cap
tain was measuring the quarter deck
and the ships company were at sup
per, but night had not yet fallen. The
monster was rapidly approaching the
vessel before the beam. 1t was IAN
enormous serpent, with head and
shoulders kept about four feet con-
stantly above the surface of the sea-
and, as nearly as could be approx
mated by comparing it with the length
of what the main top-sail yard would
show in the water, there was at the
very least sixty feet of the animal a
fleur deau, no portion Of which was,
apparently, used in propelling It
through the water, either by vertical
or horizontal undulation."
The captain in his report adds: ut
passed rapidly, but so close that, had
it been a man of my acquaintance,
should have easily recognized his
features with the naked eye. and it
did not, either in approaching the
ship or after it had passed our wake,
deviate in the slightest degree from
it's course to the southwest, which it
held on at the pace of from twelve to
fifteen miles an hour, apparently on
some determined purpose. The diam

Wei Authenticated.

Perhaps the only joke that has en-
joyed a longer term of popularity than
the illusions to the sea serpent and
the summer hotel is the so-called
mother-in-law joke, and that only be-
cause the mother-in-law has been long
er a recognized force in the world.
However, there are at least a score
of well-authenticated reports of sea
serpents, and several species Of the
genera Pelamys, Hydrophics and
Platurus, inhabiting the Pacific and
Indian Oceans, that are true ocean
snakes and more or less venomous,
have been on exhibition in geological
gardens at times.
Tae persistence of Norwegian
claims for the sea serpent certainly
prove that some immense denizen of
the deep must frequent the Scandi-
nayian coast. In 1S47 the Zoologist,
a scientific journal, noted the appear
ance of sea sernents that year in the
Norwegian fiords. The following year
Captain McIuhae, of H. M. S. Daedal-
us. made an official report to the Brit
ish Admiralty describing sea ser
pent observed by the officers and
crew of the warship.
