TWO MILES DOWN.

A Strange Fish, Never Eefore Seen, at That Depth.

One cf the most important and inter- sting cruises ever made by the United States ship Albatrois has recently been completed. Since May last has Waters, en- gaged in deep-sea fishing, and the fish she mas taken are packed away in boxes for shipment to the Smithsonian Institu- ion, from San Francisco,

Some of the crustaceans taken are from s mile or more deep in the sea, and one ish of a kind never before known to exist is from the great depth of 1,700 fathoms, or almost two miles. It resembles the macrurus, or the family known as grena-

diers, but is yet so curious ii appearance that it is evidently a new thing. There is nothing in the books Jike it. The

vessel in her cruise wasin charge of >

B. Miller, «* the United States Fish Com- mission, ‘* Leaving ip May last, we weni to Port Townsend, Wash., and then pro- seeded to the Commander Ivclands,’’ he said. ‘‘From there we cruised about in various waters of that region. For a time we fished in the cod and halibut banks, but miost of curtime we were

fishing in far greater depths than those frequented by the cod and halibut.

“It was at these great depths that our most interesting specimens were

taken, We took them in the great dredge that went tu the floor of the ocean, and scraped up the denizens of those dark caverns, The dredge is a great rope-like sack, seventeen feet long and eleven feet wide. In order to fish to any depth de- sired this dredge was attached to a gigantic reel containing four miles of three-eighths inch steel wire. When we let the dredge down and scraped the buttom of the ocean we would bring up as much asaton in weight of mud, starfish, worms, anemones, fish, shrimps and other shells of various kinds. Often- times we would have two or three dozen different kinds of fish in the dredge,

“The queer fish that we got, the like of which has never been seen before, was twenty-six inches long and weighed be- tween eight and nine pounds. It was tuken ata point about 100 miles svuth- west of the Prybilof Islands, at a depth of 1,700 fathoms. It resembles the fish knuwn as the macrurus, bus still was essentially different from anything be- fore discovered. Its head was peculiarly flat in appearance, its eyes very large, and its tail dwindling to a point and being curled in action, something like that of a snake.

‘‘It was physically constructed so that it could only jive at this great depth in the ocean, where the weight of the water Was so great that it would kill all other animal life. When the fish was drawn up its stomach was crushed up out of its mouth, and its eyes were puffed out. It could not live inthe upper waters. In ite native depths the darkness Was so dense

that no other fish could see anything. It is a tish perfectly contented in the darkness and intense cold of the deep

ocean depths. There in its nurmal state

it probably bad many companions, though science had not till now ever

found any of them.

‘*We would begin fishing every day at 7 or 8 o’clock in tas morning, and keep it up till 6 and sometimes as late as 8 o’clock in the evening. It was very in- teresting work, because there was all the time a mystery as to what we would bring up. Notwithstanding we fished a wreat dealat great depths, most of our catch was made at from 20 to 400 fathoms. South and north of the Alaska peninsula, in the Behring Sea, we came in contact with extensive cod and halibut banks. The cod are found all over Beh- ring Seain shallow water. In all we secured 9 2,500 pounds of the various kinds, which we preserved for the Smith- sonian hanaitetien,”

The Electrician at Play.

‘“An electrician who amuses himself by devising odd applications of electricity, which may or may not have practical value, tells chemists that he has a much better plan for removing the glass stopper from a bottle than the usual holding of the bottle neck for awhile over a Bunsen

burner. This method is open to the draw- back that the bottle must be held in a horizontal position, and tha fluid may easily be spilled out of the bottle, The

up-to date improvement is an adjustable clamp with coils of plantinum wire em- bedded in a strip of asbestos attached. The clamp which is connected to a bat tery, is put on the neck of the bottle, the current is turned on, and the glass is brought to any desired heat. ‘This is, in fact, an adaptation of the electrotherm, or heating pad, which is now used in hospi- tals in lieu of hot water pads formerly in vogue. Another novelty of this resource- ful electrical trifler is an electri¢ annihil- ater of ‘moths, flies and mosqpitoes.

The cur- rent is then turned op and in an hour the insect life of the room will be found stick inz to the glass globe. The final instruc- tions are to ‘‘remove the victims with hot water and set the trap afresh.”’ The Beetle and the
