Hiram maxim Is Firm Believer in
Monster.
Famous Scientist and Inventor Thinks
Time Has Come When Monstrous
Creatures Should Be Credited
Two Kinds Seen.

London.-Sir Hiram Maxim is a
hrm believer in the sea serpent. The
| other day he gave out this interview:
Il think the time has arrived when
we must submit that there are certain
large animals living in the sea that
are not described in any works on
natural history Messrs. G. A. Mich
OILS &c Co. Springfield Mas, pub
lished in 1882 a very remarkable work.
In this l find that in 1851, and for
some years following, the sea serpent,
or sea serpents, appeared very often
Off the New England coast.
1T appears that there were two
kinds of these monsters. On one oc-
casion the animal that was seen had
a ishlike head, very large eyes, gills,
and continuous fin extending the
whole length of its back, supported by
numerous spines, after the manner Of
a stickleback. 1t was simply very
large fish of an unknown variety.
THE monster that was seen a great
number of times by numerous people
had body from eighty to ninety feet
long, and about the diameter OF a
large cask, with head closely resem-
bling that of snake.
According to these witnesses, the
monster was from eighty to ninety
feet long, his head usually carried
about two feet above the water; OF
dark brown color, the body with thirty
or more protuberances, compared by
some to four-gallon kegs, by others to
string OF buoys, and called by sew
eral persons punches on the back;
motion very rapid faster than that
Of a whale, swimming mile in three
minutes, and sometimes more, leaving
/ wake behind him; chasing mack
erel, herrings and other fish, which
were soon jumping out of the water
fifty at a time as he approached"
1T has been suggested that this
creature is mammal. If so, 1t would
have warm blood, and would have to
breath at least as often as whale,
but as it remains below the water for
days and weeks at a time, it is safe
to say that it has cold blood, and is
probably some kind of a snake"
