then are halted by the terrible pres
sure Of the oceans depths.
Oceanographic expeditions are
continually plumbing here and there
with dredges and weights, recording
depths and tabulating testimony on
deep sea conditions furnished by
what their travis bring up from the
abysses.
Results thus obtained are about
as satisfactory, however, as would
be description of America written
after one had examined thousand
handfuls of her soil, gathered at
random from one coast to the other.
The blue surface of the ocean still
stands as the last frontier against
the encroachment of men on this
planet. 1t holds this border we'll
nigh inviolable, and what tremen-
dous secrets are locked in it's depths
no man can guess.
Many of our sciences-geology,

''Full Many a Cem''

Treasures in gold, in diamonds, in
radlum, platinum and score OF
other materials must be locked in
the treasure chest of the sea, since
they also appear on the dry portions
OF the globe. 1t may even be that
minerals and precious stones of
whose existence man is not yet
aware are held under the sea.
More than this, vital facts con-
corning the actual formation of the
earth-even the solar system itself
may be concealed by the few-miles
deep sheath Of water that holds US
back from the truth.
Ever since man began to use his
imagination the depths of the ocean
have had d tremendous fascination
for him. From Plato to Jules
Verne the spell has run. II was
Plato who, as far as modern civili-
cation knows, first set down the
story of the lost Atlantis.
This mighty island, he said, where
culture f1ourished far and away in
advance of neighboring lands, was
suddenly swallowed up by the sea,
5000 years before Solon-or 5000
years before the beginning of the
actual history of Athens.
Where Plato got his information
no one knows, but the story still
persists, and almost every shoal in
every sea has been at one time or
another hailed as the possible wost
island"
1t is certain that during the ages
when the earth was cooling and
solidifying land reared itself where
there is none now. 1t is not beyond
the realms of possibility that some
of this remained stable until life
of fairly advanced type had de-
ve'oped on it, and then sank again
beneath the waves.

Only the Surface

All that is known of this shrouded
three-fourths Of the globe is fair
acquaintance with the life that
teens in the shadows of the oceans
near shore and theories arrived at
by scientific computation and the
little pinches Of deep ocean life
brought up to the world of man by
his dredges.
Meager and unsatisfactory as
these infinitesimal samples of the
seas bottom may be, they have al
ready served to overturn scientific
opinions of conditions in the ocear
deeps based upon what appeared to
be irrefutable logic.
Fifty years ago scientists knew
that the pressure-15 pounds to the
inch at sea level--increased q ton
for every 5000 feet or 900 fathoms
one ventured into the depths. They
knew also that the temperature in
the unplumbed abysses must be ex-
tremely low and the darkness abso-
lutte.
With these three factors in mind
absence Of light, the bitter cold,
enormous pressure science an
nounced, naturally enough that no
life could exist in the deep sea.
There could be nothing, it was as
serted, but hideous desert of utter
blackness and ooze. Nothing ever
created on this world could live
under such conditions, savants as
serted positively.
Then, in 1875, H. NJ. S. Challenger
was fitted out with plumb lines and
dredges - infantie things when
compared with the apparatus now

BRYAN, Professor of
- Zoology at the College OF
Hawaii, is on the last leg
Of 7,000-mile journey to find a
snail shell and lost continent.
He sailed the other day from
Buenos Ayres for the island Of
Juan Fernandez, that rises sheer
from the depths of the Pacific 900
miles off the coast Of Chile.
Somewhere in an outcropping
Of the volcanic rock thrust up above
the surface of the sea he hopes to
find the fossil shells Of a certain
tiny fresh water snail that lived
when the world was young and set
cling into place. These prehistoric
shells will be, he believes, the key
to Atlantis, or to another forgotten
land that suffered Atlantis's tradi-
tional fate.
If he finds his snail shells new
renown may come to the island,
now chiefly famous as the tiny
kingdom where Alexander Selkirk

there is no rain Of tiny shells from

On q Snail's Shell

On q Snail's Shell
The existence Of the fossil shells
Of this special species of snail will
make Juan Fernandez chief witness
in upholding Professor Bryan's con-
tention that in the days when the
world was still fermenting a great
range of mountains ran from South
America to the Hawaiian Islands,
across what was then an eighth con-
tinent.
The fauna. flora and geology of
Hawaii have indicated that the clus
ter of islands set in the center of
the Pacific were once part of some
larger body Of land. From years
spent in research there Professor
Bryan and his forerunner, DR.. H.
A. Pillsbury, have evolved the theory
that they are the mountain tops Of
some great prehistoric continent,
raising themselves above the waters
that thousands Of years ago swal-
lowed the rest of the land.
Professor Bryan believes that a
prehistoric "bridge" joined this
counterpart of Atlantis to South
America, even as, almost up to the
time when history began, Asia was
linked to America by way Of
Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
A Pacific ''Bridge''
1t is to Juan Fernandez that ne
turns for proof, with the belief tha.
this little speck of land is the ton
OF another mountain Of that mighty
bridge"
In the folds and strata Of Hawaii
these fossil shells are found IN
abundance. They are of species
peculiar to the islands. If Dr.
Bryan can find them also on juan
Fernandez he believes that he will,
have gone far toward proving his
contention that once a vast range
OF mountains reached skyward
where now the Pacific rolls.
