STRANGE OCEAN CREATURES ASYET

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 23.-Accord-
ing to the theory of B. H. Shepley,
chief boatswain of the United States
fishery steamer Albatross, which is
now laid up for repairs at the Oak
land municipal wharf, the denizens
of the deep have the affinity habit,
and by their practises have caused
innumerable hours of worry and
study to the four scientists who were
engaged in research work on the Al
batross this year
Scientific Investigations of the tuna
fish sent the Albatross to the waters
of southern California. The vessel
is equipped with a library containing
exhaustless information on fish and
insects, but queer creatures were
found that apparently were neither
amphibian, reptile, fish or fowl, and
G. p. Sehaefer or George Coleman,
government EXPERTS on everything
that lives in the deep, could not name.
Gathering data on tuna fish was
easy, but when traps were lowered to
various depths in several locations
between San Diego and Point San
Lucas they brought to the surface in
habitants of the ocean which had no
previous discovery recorded, hence
they had no scientific rating.

the insects, Johnson came to the con.
clusion that they must be varieties
