est ssnatl As such, re IL entitled Ia
sSpnrse,, the greatest fish stories
The difference between the Prince aud the
ordinary fisherman is that the former al
ways has scientific proof OF his yarns.
Therefore II is that when this royal
fisherman announces that at a depth OF al
most five miles in the ocean at q pressure
that would fatten a man like a pancake
and CIR h the strongest iron hulls OF ships
like shells he has found one fish with
re;ectrjr light eyes and another one which
., grows. IS skeleton on the outside OF his
body, fence knows that. however weird
his story may seem, the Prince would not
sal It unless he had proof.
Ano. hese monsters are the newest ones
that the Prince OF Monaco says he has
caught Being a scientist he has given
= scient .ic proof Of his story to satisfy the
!sscientd" minds of the members Of the
French academy OF Science.
II Hr Highness held In his hand q light
trout + i. fitted with a delicate duplex reel,
he could not do his angling with greater
science than he does with his huge FIVE
mile Iilr and his windlass and donkey en-
. CINE. !. reels are windlasses worked by
l the entiues and his fishing lines are espe-
cially controlled steel cables. His fishing
boat IS a beautiful yacht called Princess
Louise II which wps built especially for
his oceanographic research work aud Is
veritable foatinv laboratory whe oil the
preliminary scientific inv estiastions are
made.
The Prince has commanded personally.
for the past thirty-fve years. sNrrt expe-
ditiou Tat has been made.
His newly discovered monsters uurnish
Che first proof that science has had that
life exists at this depth I'm the ocean.
In connection with the discovery the
Prince Of Monaco announces also that he
D., has secured proof OF the existence Of a
hitherto utterly unknown and strange ultra
. violet ray which exists In the immeasur-
able abysses Of the sea and to which the
= eyes of these extraordinary creatures are
sensitive. In fact, II appears that nm.
guessed and inexplicable electric phe.
nomena are present in tho four.mle aud
more depths of ocean.
e The monster with the electric eyes has
"a body, fifteen feet long II il shaped
somewhat like a gigantic cuttlchsh. but
with important differences due to the
O.
Hundred feet under water In equivalent to
the pressure Of sixty-four pounds upon the
square inch. The FISH living five miles be
meath the surface OF the sea, therefore
moves and lives under a pressure OF
lOS27Ib pounds TO every square inch OF
It's surface.
The atmospheric pressure upon the
body OF a man Is fifteen pounds to the
square inch, or nearly ton-2,l6o pounds
on the square foot
A ,perfuu Of medium sire will have q sur
face equal To- about sixteen square feet and
the pressure therefore which In supported
by the human body amounts to 1880
pounds or not far from sixteen tons.
: Consider That the FISH of the size OF q
man, liyHl depth OF Eve miles beneath
the oceans surface, carries abont 72s
lines this weight
