UNDER THE SEA
ANCIENT CIVILISATION NEW DIVING APPARATUS. Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, September 17. Dr Hartmann, head of the Hartmann deep sea expedition, has arrived from New' York to complete plans for an extensive under-water exploration of the Italian and Tunisian coasts. He proposes to study the ancient civilisation buried below the Mediterranean. He claims that he has perfected a deep-sea diving apparatus capable of exploring to a depth of 14,000 ft or 15,000 ft. It consists of a steel cylinder with a thirty-six hours’ supply of oxygen, which is at present being completed by Krupps. Dr Hartmann believes that the animal and plant resources of the ocean exceed those on land. An oil-bearing strata will also be investigated, with a view* to future supplies. Initial surveys will be made in the Bay of Naples off Posilipo, where the massive ruins of a city known _ta geographers as “a submarine Pompeii u lie in comparatively shallow water.—A* and N.Z.
