Dr. Beebe Finds Amazing Sights in Trip to Ocean Depths
BY DAVID DHTZ
Seripps-HoWard Science Editor

THE surface waters Of the At
Il lantic are deep blue be-
meath the clear Bermuda skies.
The waves CLEAN with a silver
luster as they dance in the SUM-
light. But half a mile down there
is no sunlight. no color, no motion.
1t is a murky, gloomy world Of
eternal silence.
In these strange, somber depths
swim monsters stranger than their
surroundings, monsters so weird
and bizarre that they resemble
creatures out of a nightmare.
Into this fantastic world DR..
William Beebe, who lives the life
of adventure that other men
dream of. has descended. He has
come back with tales of its in
habitants and plans for additional
and deeper descents.
The bathysphere is a great steel
ball with walls i2-inch thick.
There is room enough within for
two men. They can not, however,
stand erect. They sit upon the
curved sides of hard steel.
II would not be safe to up
holster the bathysphere as the oc-
cupants must be ever alert for the
first seepage Of water into the
sphere.
At the depths to which the ex-
plorers descend the pressure is $50
pounds a square inch, more than
Sixty-five times as great as the
ordinary atmospheric pressure OF
fifteen pounds to the square inch.
TINE bathysphere has three port
Il holes fitted with windows of
fused quartz three inches thick.
The three are close together, in
row, all pointing in the same di-
rection.
Powerful search lights are ar
ranged to shine through the two
end ones. The center one is used
for visual observation and the
making of motion pictures.
In the bathySphere with the
two observers are the search lights
and motion picture cameras, tele-
phone equipment for communica-
ton with the boat from which the
bathysphere is lowered, oxygen
tanks. and pans of chemicals for
absorbing the carbon dioXide and
moisture from the air.
After the two observers enter
the bathysphere through an open
ing on the top, a door weighing
400 pounds is screwed into place
and bolted down tightly enough
to seal the bathysphere with an
air-tight joint.
When all is ready, the boom
from which the bathysphere
hangs is swung out over the ships
side. The engines are started,
and the big sphere begins it's de-
scent. DR.. Otis Barton takes
charge of the electric search lights.
the telephone line, and the oxy-
gen tanks.
He watches the sides of the
bathysphere for the possible
seepage of water. DR.. Beebe takes
his place at the motion picture
camera.
n
A S the bathysphere splashes
L n into the water. the two OH
servers can see the waves dash
ing upon its portfolios.
Soon they are below the waves
and can see the keel of their ship
above them. Very quickly the keel
fades from view. The water grows
darker. 1t is like the coming of
twilight. But it is a strange
twilight of luminous blue. DR..
Beebe has described it as resem-
bling no other color he has ever
seen.

of 200 feet, large jelly fish Of
many sorts were encountered. At
300 feet, he says, the bathysphere
was sinking through "a mist Of
Shrimps." They we're of various
sizes and proved to be the domi-
nant form of life in the lower
depths. Pilot fish, white with
bands of black, we're frequently
noted.
At 400 feet, DR.. Beebe noted
lantern fish, known scientifically
as myctophids. 1t still was suffi-
GENTLY light in the water, how
ever, to hide the luminous spots
upon these fish.
When 700 feet was reached, the
blush blackness of the water had
increased so that the luminous
fish then shined forth clearly. The
trail of each fish was not path
of fiery light.
The shrimps encountered were
marked with luminous spots of
silver and green. The fish like
wise cleaned with silver and green
lights.

MOST unique incident on Pres

cation called upon him in Homo

navy'S new submarines, now I'M

honor of the islands.
1t seemed like reasonable idea
to the President, but he reminded
them that all new submarines are
named after fish.
All. yes. they replied. they I'M
derstood that They had chosen
the name of a lSh-a staple food
fish of the island. upon which
much of Hawaii's existence de-
ponds.
And what is the name of this
fish. for which you want us to
name a new submarine?" inquired
the President.

was the reply, as the President al
most tainted. The weight of the
paint he figured. would be almost
enough to sink the boat.
THE President is quietly pre-
Il pairing to apply the pulmotor

Advisers have told him that it
is long overdue. That the mo-
rale and administrative disinte-
grafton within the Blue Eagle

that heroic restorative measures
are desperately called for.
That all is not well with his

Tall, canny Barney Baruch, his
former boss, helped him to come
TO this realization. Before the

Europe some six weeks ago, he
told johnson that he ought to get
wise to himself.
