years The serpents in question. he
said, were German submarines. Dur
ing this lapse, though it meant years
irretrievably lost, the Prince added
philosophically:
at gave us time to put an immense
amount of data, collected during dec
AIDES, into volume form. and we have
already printed fifty-four books on the
subject of oceanography which will be
valuable to others. They are in French,
of course, but most scientists are con-
versant with that language. However.
two scientific societies of which | am
a member have talked over the matter
Of using the universal language, Espe
ranto, for scientific works, so that all
nationalites of scientists, now forced
to read in several languages, may read
all research in one"
The prince offered high praise for
the small though quite wonderfully ar
ranged collection of sea fauna and
fora in the New York Museum of
Natural History, which he visited a
few days ago.
I asked the prince whether the
geographical difference and climes Of
the seven seas varied their types OF
animal life.
There is law he said, that the
deeper one goes into the sea the mo re
identical are the species. All around
the world, if you could walk the ocean
bed, you would find the same animals
This is regulated by temperature
mainly, which is the same after q
depth of about two thousand meters
Thus, in the Arctic Sea, in the Pacific
Atlantic and at the Equator, where
animal life both above the water anC
in the shadows. is somewhat varied
according to atmos phcric conditions
and temperature, you would find ar
even balanced breed of life in the
greater depths.

The war was on and he was cx-
amined and declared unfit for military
service, but unfortunately no one
thought to supply him with certificates
for the police.
In 1918 he was in Milan on his way
to Rome and the police, being on the
lookout for strange faces, asked for
his papers, which, of course, were
missing. He said he had just left

prison.
Without grumbling or lamenting his
fate he philosophica,ly took notes, say

The royal visitor, however. wandered
from scientific subjects trAe to tell
The Tribune that he was interested
during his present trip in creating
commercial movement between America
and his principality. This commerce,
ne SAID, relates to American shipping
and Monaco Harbor, which he described
as the best between Marseilles and
Genoa.
II have talked to large number of
American business men who agree with
me on the great possibilities of our
harbor. We are we'll placed for COM
merce with France, Italy and Switzer-
land. We are on the principal military
railway line from Paris to Rome, and
there are two lines from, the coast to
Switzerland, which inland country
wants contact with the Mediterranean.
This contact should be the harbor OF
Monaco
Fifteen years ago Monaco had little
revenue, but since the construction of
these railways and the improvement Of
our harbor the revenues have increased
threefod."
Whether the princes efforts to stimu-
late commercial earnings of his di-
minutive country until they equal
the present concession revenues
from Monte Carlo have anything to do
with circum stantial reports from Milan
several months ago that he intended to
purge his realm of Monte Carlo and
gaming, the interviewer did not ask nor
the prince volunteer. According to the
Milan newspaper Corriere Della Sera
Albert was prepared to abolish the
Casino "as soon as the financial condi-
ton of the principality will permit" :
Prince Albert's first act in Washing
ton. where he went from New Y ork on
Wednesday, was to pay his respects to
President Harding.
The Alexander Agassiz medal, which
he is to receive from Americas leading
scientific societies, is of solid gold and
carries with it the highest honor which
this country can bestow on a man of
science.

sea serpent recently was reported
washed up on the Florida coast.

"Sea serpents are often used to fill
the small space in newspapers when
there is nothing else to print" re-
marked Prince Albert "There is moth
ing within my knowledge to prove that
sea serpents exist. There may be
some big animals in the ocean of which
We do not know, but my researches
have not developed any of them.
Giant octupuses. measuring forty
or fifty feet across have been brought

is virtually nothing there for them to

popularity supposed, in the high press
ured ocean valleys. But, remarkable
to say, there is life There are five or
six species of sea beings at the great
est depths. Some are fish and some
are crustaceans.
The fish, again contrary to popular
belief, have perfect eyes and perfect
bodies, differing only in the fact that
they are built for pressure resistance.
Their muscular composition is differ

Nature provides the deepest sea fish
with luminous organs, enabling them to
light their way about wherever they
go Some of these creatures are so
delicate-though built for pressure
that we cannot touch their bodies with
out breaking them. But the most deli

depths are able to come to the oceans

deepest part of the sea- said the
prince. "but we have found that they

yards under your ship, after nightfall,
you may be sure that deep sea crea-

them toward the surface by night. The
tidal wave, which is ocean wide, moves
away from the sun. Our knowledge Of
this is limited, but enough is known
to say that it is certain.

Prince Believes Further
Exploration Is Possible

sit is one Of our most interesting
discoveries and very precious, in SO far
as it affects the biological side of the
sea. The creatures that live with their
own light in the darkest depths cannot
face the sun, and nature strangely pro-
pels them upward for their sustenance."
Explaining ocean pressure, Prince
Albert said that measurements were
calculated in "atm ospheres"; for ex-
ample, pressure at the surface consti-
tutes one atmosphere" and every ten
meters of depth doubles the weight.
Thus, with fifteen pounds pressure to
the square inch at one "atm osphere, "

Any greatest satisfaction is that a

Some are graduates of French and
Italian universities, where the study
of the sea is now regular course, en-
Ibracing matters of physiology, anat
