Mankind Really Knows
Little About the Seas

An outward spinning whirlpool is
an oddly added to the long fist Of
unexplained mysteries of the sea,
says a bulletin of the National
Geographic society. It is half in
jest and half in awe that old tars
refer to the bounding main as that
old devil sea" In olden days the
sea was believed to be peopled with
strange monsters which deyoured
both ships and men. Even today,
with ali the safeguards and COM
forts of modern travel, a ship voy-
age is not without its hazards.
Mother Ocean constantly plays
new and unexpected tricks because
mans knowledge of the sea, for all
his centuries of study and expert
ance, is extremely meager.
Explorers and geographers who
have been signing for new lands to
conquer may find their best field,
paradoXically, in the sea. When it
is realized that nearly three-quar-
tiers of the surface of the globe con
sists of water, it is rather remark
able how little we know of the vast
surface of the solid sphere which
lies under this screen of liquid.
The most impressive thing about
the sea is its shallOwnesS as com
pared with the size Of the earth,
and its depth as compared with the
height Of the land. If one We're TO
take a globe six feet in diameter
and excavate the deepest trench of
the ocean thereon. il would be a
bare pincsratch deep-about one
twentieth of an inch.

broken into on several occasions
recently and robbed of a quantity
