STORIES OF SEA SERPENTSFROM THE EARLIEST TIMES.

there are some of theee sailors' tales that,

when divested »f obvious absurdities, canneither be accepted fully nor rejected to-tally In the present *tate of knowledge.

or careless observation may have erecteda marvelous structure.

The Graphic of June 30. 1*77, contain* areport of a monster *e*n by Lieut W. P.Haynes, of 11. M S. Osborne, ofT thenorthern coast of Sicily on June 2 of thatyear.

It was first seen as a row of flns of Ir-regular heights, and In a line some thlrtvor forty feet long. It was distant from theship about 20n yards, "away on our beam,"when first seen, anr: then turned and madeoff. It had a broad back, fifteen ortwenty feet across, a "bullet-shaped"head, probably six feet through, support-ed on a narrow neck. Broad flappers, fif-teen feet long, paddled It along by a ro-tating movement, and It made about tenand a half knots per hour. "It was partlyout of the water, and from the top of thehead to the line of Immersion* measuredsome fifty feet; that was estimated to foea third of Its length. Th£ report wa* Il-lustrated hy drawings made at the timeIt Is needless to multiply Instances, andthose cited are merely specimens of re-port* that should carry some degree ofconviction. These men saw something un-common. What It was is a matter for fur-ther research. When Bruce published hiswork on Abysflnla It was greeted with In-credulity and Ita author denounced interms of unmeasured abuse, hut the cal-umniators have been made ridiculous byfurther exploration In Africa, and theirIgnorant pedantry should be a warningagainst refusing to believe what la not acommon experience. True as this Is Ingeneral, It Is particularly trim where thefauna of the sea Is concerned, for so littleis known of it.

nifllceltlee of Orfinlr Rrafirrh.The practical difficulties of oceanic re-

search are such that our knowledge oftne abyssmal depths ran Increase but?lowly, and despite the efforts of thepast half century the specimen* In ourmuseums are "like the few stray bodiesor strange red men that tradition reports

*"'Jl**? h**n washed on the shores of theId World before the discovery of the

New, and which served to Indicate theexistence of unexplored realms, inhabitedby unknown racea, but not to supply in-formation about their characters, habitsand history" (Edward Forbes). At leastone-half of the deep sea forms knownat present are represented by single spec-imens. and of these some are In suchcondition aa to make careful studv ofthem almost Impossible. The pressure ofdeep water Is tremendous, and njanv ofthe beings that live In It have soft bonesand loose, flabby tissues that are apt tobe torn or badly mutilated by beingdraped in *rou| , h , hrou|rh p«, rhapßimiles of water. If this danger be es-caped the lessening of the pressure asthe surface Is approached produces greatchanges aa tlxt soft tissues expand so asto dlatort the animal out of semblanceto Its original form, even If it does nothurst asunder. For these reasons pro-gress Is slow, and not Infrequently a scoreor more specimens may have to be exam-ined to determine characters that couli}be ascertained readily from the lnspe</tlon of a .Ingle Individual In good con-dltlon. Errors are unavoidable underese circumstances, and conscientiousstudents are painfully aware of the frag-mentary state of our acquaintance withthe fatuna of the sea and keenlv appre-

No amount ofpersuasion can induce those who have onceused it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin,scalp, and hair of infants and children. iTTICL'KASOAP combines delicateemollient properties derived from Ct'TICUKA, the great skin cure, with thepurest of idealising ingredients, and the most refreshing of flower odors. Noother metlh-aU'd soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for pre-serving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. Noother foreign or domestic Unlet soap, however expensive, is to be comparedwith it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and ntirsery.

JUPITER'S RED SPOTA GREAT MYSTERY.

Peculiar Markings on theSurface of the

Big Planet

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THEM.

Some Observer* S«y It Shifts It* Position?Other* Think It Due to a

Rift in the Clouds.

Erfar the largest and mist per-

plexing marking on Jupiter 1* the?(rreat red spot." It la roughly

estimated to he thirty thousandmile* long and several thousand miles

wide. Is pointed at both ends, and liesparailel with and Just aouth of the south-ern equatorial belt. A* If by somemysterious power of repulsion. It has cre-ated a deep indentation In the margin of

the belt, so that a wide boundary of

brightness l« Interposed between the edge

of the cavity and the spot.

When the great red spot was discovered.

In I*7*. It had a fairly well defined out-line and a salmon pink hue. During thenext two years It gained In distinctness,

and Its color deepened to n brick red.Then It began to fade. From that time tothe present its visibility and tint haveundergone many fluctuation*. At timesthe spot has almost entirely disappeared,and then It grows In distinctness. Whennear the minimum of visibility It appeari

only as a very faint ring of pink, the cen-tral portion being white or gray. Thereare perceptible differences, too. In theease with which the two ends can be dis-tinguished. In l«W-'»7 the spot almostcompletely disappeared. Stanley Will-iams. a well-known English amateur, re-ports In "The Observatory" for July thatwithin the last few months there has beena distinct revival. Its color Is now a sal-mon pink, and Is almost uniformly dis-tributed, although the front end seem*

to be a little paler than the rear. Mr.Williams add* that, whereas In I*9B thespot appeared to have gained on the ad-jacent cavity In the southern belt, and to

have fallen betilnd In 1899, It I* now Inabout the normal position Two or threeyear* ago observers called attention tothe fact that the equatorial bright xonepossessed a rich orange yellow color. Mr.Williams say* the sone I* now white. In1899 the southerh dark belt had a deeper

reddish hue than the northern, but nowthe conditions are said to be revetted. Thecolor of both is that of iron ru*t. Similardifference* between the two dark belt*In the plenitude of small dark or whitespots, proturbance* from the edge*, diag-onal rift* and other minutiae are observedfrom year to year, and It ha* been sus-pected that there are variation* in the ro-tational velocity of certain region*, but onthl* point there I* no agreement amongthe authoritle*. It ha* also been tasertedthat In these manifestation* of activity

there I* a periodicity like that in theabundance and site of *un spot*.

The nature of the great red spot, which1* lu*t now Increasing in visibility. Is yeta mystery. Jupiter I* believed to he Ina state half way between that of theearth and the sun. Blnce It waa detachedfrom the latter In the formative periodof It* history It has cooled down a greatdeal, of course, yet It Is probably a mol-ten mas*. Partly because It Is at only ared heat and partly liecause It appear*to he pretty well clothed In clouds. It 1*thought that It has censed to shine by It*own light. Mr. Maunder expressed theopinion a few years ago that If the va-pors that envelop the planet could beswept away Jupiter would exhibit a sur-face of uniform redness like that of thebig spot. And Mr. Barnard remarked in1892, Just after a temporary revival Indistinctness, that the phenomenon seemedto him to be a shifting of an overlyinghut very thin veil. There was a disposi-tion fifteen or twenty years ago to sup-pose that the spot was a new-born con-tinent, lifted above the level of'the adja-cent territory hy some Internal force.Hut If. as Mr. Williams thinks, the spotshift* It* position, that theory would heuntenable. On the other hand, If oneImagines that he Is merely looking downthrough a hole In the clouds. It will benecessary, as Mr Maunder ha* pointedout. to explain why that framework re-mains so nearly stationary and so un-changeable In form. For the present thenroblem I* Insoluble.

The mnrklnga on the surface 0 f Jupl-tor. which undergo more or l«u changefrom time to lime. «re unique In manyrespects. When we look at Mare weprobably eee the solid material compoe-In* that ruddy little orb, whereas Venueand Jupiter are supposed to tie clothedIn cloud »he|l* which ctnriot eaelly hapenetrated by the human gase.
