Origin and Composition.
When rocks are decOmposed by at

water and air gases, they form sand,
and alkaliS. Most of the alkalis are
combination of sodium or potassium
with chlorine or with sulphur and oXy-

with carbon and oxygen to form the So
called chlOrides, sulphateS, nitrates or

M Where does the sea serpent

must have home. The question is.
what region is its normal habitat?
The creature is no longer a mere
Joke. Science has endorsed it No less
an authority than the late Prof Agas-
Siz expressed a belief that there was
such an animal as the sea serpent-at
all events, AN animal corresponding
more or less to the descriptions given
The Smithsonian photograph on
Fishes Of the Ocean Depths by
GoOde AMI Dean, says 1T cannot be
doubted that somewhere in the depths
of the seas are living certain animals
unknown to science, and of great size,
which come coca siOnally to the sur
stories as those of the sea serpent"
Sea Serpents Really Exist
In short. we may fairly regard the
sea serpent as an accepted fact IN ma
ture, But this does not imply tnat the

fish, or else a cephalOpod, such as the
formidable giant squ1d- The latter,
which is by far the largest animal IN
the world, having a total length OF
150 feet, including its tentacles, IS at
least the possible original of what has
been so long esteemed a myth. As for
that an eel-like or Snake-lize form IS
rather commonly characteristic OF the
fishes of the ocean depths.
There must be a good many-a whole
species, in fact-else the tribe could not
be perpetuated- An Interesting theory
is that the sea serpents are tropical, and
that occasionally a specimen comes
north during the warm season Of the
year-Which would account for the cir
cumstance that summer is the sea ser
pent season
If these ideas be accepted as correct,
why is il that such monsters are not
more often seen-espe cialIy in tropical
latitudes2 The answer is that their
home under ordinary circumstances is |
in the depths of the sea One might
deem it not unlikely that the special
haUnts OF sea serpents are the great /

knowledge has been gained only within
