report. "There were so many different

When the deep-sea fish were first
brought to the surface they appeared to
be studded with glowing sapphires and
emeralds. They resembled nothing more
than a jewelers. window; but the change
from the great depths to ordinary at
mospheric pressure was invariably too
much for the lighted fish. The gas, which
had been in solution in their blood under
the great pressure, was released, and the
fish swelled up and died of the "bends."
Some surprising discoveries were made
by DR.. Segal about the purpose of the
lights. They apparently were used by the

by swimming in masses of seaweed and

fish which could keep themselves hidden
in the seaweeds most efficiently, natural
ly, were the ones which lived longest, and
which laid most of the eggs for the next
generation.
So little by little the fish with stiff, I'M

seaweed for any length of time, were
killed off, and the others, whose fins We're
becoming more and more efficient with

The Halobate's life is spent in agoniz-
ing fear that some day one of his feet
will break through the surface or that
drop of spray or rain will fall on his back.
When this catastrophe happens the poor
Halobate, which had spent its whole life
on the water, simply dies. and sinks with
out struggle. The miracle which science
has as yet been unable to explain is how
the tragic insect is able to sidestep spray
and drops of rain long enough to produce
its eggs before death. Just why the touch
of water is fatal to the poor insect is as
yet undetermined.
1t is an old wheeze to say of man that
he has "less privacy than goldfish" But
now a creature has been discovered which
has even less privacy than that. In one
of the first deep-sea nets hauled up by
Mr.. Beebe was a new species of deep-sea
fish, which has not yet been given

enables it to swallow prey larger than

stretches accordingly.
When completely stretched the men,

can look in and note how its digestive
processes are proceeding. When the fish
with the "plate-glass stomach" swallows
a particularly active victim it struggles
vigorously inside its transparent prison,
like fly trying to go through pane of
glass.
Flying snails were another of Natures
freaks discovered by Professor Beebe.
These little blue snails do not aOtuallyfly
through the air but have lost their shells
centuries ago and have developed fleshy
wings, with which they flap their way
through the water. Nobody knows just
why these snails discarded their shells.

SargassO Sea,
Legendary Home of
Lost ships and
Strange animals

@ TX months ago the SIS. Arcturus, under
command of William Beebe, and
backed by Harrison Williams and the
New York Geological Society, sailed from
New York to find out just what kind OF
strange animals live under the surface OF
the ocean,.
Water covers two-thirds of the earth's
surface, the Geological Society had re-
Elected, and it was only natural to won
der about the strange creatures which
make their homes in the black waters and
rocky bottom miles below the warm sur
face of the sea.
When the Arcturus returned with its
load of tired scientists and startling speci-
mems of sea life nobody was disappointed.
The wonders of the ocean depths, as well
as the creatures which live near the
surface of the tropical waters, were
more surprising than anything which
had ever been hoped for.
The wierdest of all these strange
new animals was a small creature
which is called halobate, and which
is really onS of Natures most crueler
jokes. The Halobates are the only
marine insects in the world. They are
