\ocean is the place where we should be putting our efforts in order to provide for future generations.''.

A French zoologist,Professor Brouardel,has preliminary evidence that some marine animals of the abyss thrive in the blackness without any discernible action of photosynthesis.

An observer,looking at the earth from another planet,would be likely to call it Oceanus. As a life environment,the sea is a kind of land turned upside down. at both ends.

Because there are so many languages within the above two super-categories of language families,linguists have further divided these linguistically rich and geographically diverse families into sub-groups,one of which,the Germanic language group,has the second-largest number of speakers (Chinese being first).

Consider the abyssal valley called the Marianas Trench,lying west of Guam. In 1951,the British Challenger expedition sounded6 33,640 feet at one place in the trench.

felt myself becoming immersed in your every detail,as you placed your hat on the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea,gently blowing the steam away with your pouted lips. He instantly identified it as a coelacanth,a species believed extinct for 60 million years.

If all the continents and mountains were bulldozed flat,the earth would be covered by water more than 12,000 feet deep.。

In 1957 the Soviet ship Vitiaz sounded 300 feet deeper at another place nearby,and later the Russian vessel found a spot 225 feet deeper than that. It is considered dull work to catalogue fish.

It seems certain that no human observers will ever get closer to the core of the earth than these men.

It will take him years of the most painstaking instrument building,campaigns at sea,and every conceivable cross-check to establish the doubt.

One aspect of oceanography that has fallen into neglect is that of identifying fish: taxonomy. One main branch of sea science,physical oceanography,holds enormous unanswered questions. One of the great taxonomists is J.L.B. Smith of South Africa,the discoverer of the fabulous coelacanth.

Only if these negative results are valid will he be able to formulate the question: how do they live,if not by photosynthesis?

pulsing jelly fish,darting shrimp,fixed colonies5 of coral polyps,and crawlers and diggers of the floor.

Sea and air are divided by a viscous curtain;

Seventy-one percent of the earth's surface is covered by water.

Somewhere in his files,Smith recalled seeing the animal as an empty fossil split from a rock.

Take the theory of photosynthesis,which holds that the growth of all vegetation,and consequently of animals,depends on the action of the sun on carbon dioxide and water.

The athletic animals come up to graze in this fertile prairie and become links in extensive food chains,formed roughly along the lines3 suggested by Shakespeare

The Atlantic hydrographic chart is being revised continuously,and nuclear submarines are now

charting the Arctic basin under the ice. The food chains extend to the abyss.

The French navy has built an abyssal bathyscaphe to take three men to the floor of the Marianas Trench.

The mature eel has not been discovered,but it could possibly come in sea serpent dimensions. The most amazing fact about this inverted life pyramid is that only 2% of the nutritive matter ends up in swimming fish. The rest falls tothinvertebrates:

The questions themselves may be wrong,and many of the answers are under challenge.

The recent discovery of an eel larva many times the size of the common one may furnish a basis for stories of sea serpents.

The world's deepest land shaft accessible to men is the Champion Reef gold mine in India,which is only 9,811 feet deep. Then the study can begin.

They lowerednets,dredges,bathythermographs,still cameras,water bottles,coring pipes,and current meters.

This is a common vegetarian species,never before found more than three feet long.

Today continuous recording instruments from a ship underway are able to bring up data from a long strip of the sea.

Unable to see the underwater world until recently,oceanographers have relied on blind groping into the 'depths.

We know that several depressions in the floor are deeper than Mt.

Yet vast areas of the Pacific are unmapped and the Indian Ocean has hardly been touched.

Yet we know that many animals live in the deeps at pressures of 15,000 pounds per square inch. \

He arms them with detailed instructions for finding their target cells and outfits them with specially designed protein keys to speed up entry. As far as he's concerned,those viruses are the good guys,since the cells they are attacking and destroying are cancer cells in a fast-growing tumor.

He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life.

He blames the weather,the phone connection,even the other person. He did not do so because he thought he knew.

He did not like to look at the fish anymore since he had been mutilated. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around. \He does not stand for anyone person like some of the other cards. He doesn't seek advice,since he assumes nothing can be done.

He eats unhealthy food,avoids exercise,ignores the doctor,has another drink.

He enjoys the work,and the health plan covers his wife,who is not yet eligiblefor Medicare. 50/7 He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the weddingthat was usually reserved for the mother of the groom.

He expressed his surprise that she had not joined them.

He found her sitting in an oriel window reading Plato's beautiful account of the death of Socrates. He found that he could no longer support himself by growing his own food. He grew up herding goats,went to school in a tin-roof shack.

He had come up so fast and absolutely without caution that he broke the surface of the blue water and was in the sun.

He had learned by bitter experience that sharp criticisms and rebukes almost invariably end in futility.

He had published her letter!

He had reached an age and accumulatedenough years of service to sailoff into the sunsetwith a good pension . 50/2

He has his eyes on all his company; he is tender towards the bashful,gentle towards the distant,and merciful towards the absurd; he can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unseasonable allusions,or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation,and never wearisome. He makes light of favours while he does them and seems to be receiving when he is conferring.

He has too much good sense to be affronted at insults,he is too well employed to remember injuries,and too indolent to bear malice.

He hit it with his blood-mushed hands driving a good harpoon with all his strength.

He invariablyread with a pencil,and sometimes,when he picked up a book and pencil in the evening,he found himself,instead of making intelligentnotes,drawing what he called \

He is a very skilled man. Sometimes he sends his drill more than a mile into the earth. 46/4

He is also saying: \into trouble.\

He is mainly occupied in merely removing the obstacles which hinder the free and unembarrassed action of those about him,and he concurs with their movements rather than takes the initiative himself.

He is never mean or little in his disputes,never takes unfair advantage,never mistakes personalities or sharp saying for arguments,or insinuates evil which he dare not say out.

He is patient,forbearing,and resigned,on principles,he submits to pain,because it is inevitable,to bereavement,because it is irreparable,and to death,because it is destiny. He is sometimes used as an extra card.

He knew he was too tired to read,and was just wasting time. 53/11

He later learned that another entomologist in New Jersey,260 miles away,observed a wedding flight by the same species of ant,on the same day,and at exactly the same time! He lived about 800 years after the birth of Christ. He makes a series of points.

He never speaks of himself except when compelled,never defends himself by a mere retort,he has no ears for slander or gossip,is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him,and interprets everything for the best.

He prepared the harpoon and mare the rope fast while he watched the shark come on.

He pressed the money into the man's hand. The man tried to give it back,but my father insisted. He probably never thought that he would have a place in playing cards.

He says,\double your salary.\

He sometimes becomes more powerful than any other card.

He then wrote that he had finished high school,second in his class,and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.

He took about forty pounds,\

He took my harpoon too and all the rope, he thought, and now my fish bleeds again and there will be others.

He took one look at the great fish as he watched the shark close in.

He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken.\

He was a very big make shark built to swim as fast as the fastest fish in the sea and everything about him was beautiful except his jaws.

He was built as a sword fish except for his huge jaws which were tight shut now as he swam fast, just under the surface with his high dorsal fin knifing through the water without wavering. He was one of the most powerful kings in Europe after Julius Caesar of Rome.

He was opposed to dueling,but he couldn't get out of it and save his honor. He was given the choice of weapons.

He was stuck with his own impure French graphite.

He did include an expired half-price pass from Hooter's restaurant chain given to him for allowing the chain to note Buffett's birthday on their calendar. Heat Energy

I believe I have made as detailed and exhaustive a study of Lincoln's personality and home life as it is possible for any being to make.

I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God,named by whatever name,and that the individual's highest fulfillment,greatest happiness,and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will.

I believe in the dignity of labor,whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.

I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure,whether in government,business,or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I had forgotten the child and was startled when she appeared.

I had never handled a tool in my life, and yet in time by labour, application, and contrivance, I found at last that I wanted nothing but I could have made it, especially if I had had tools; I had to find the source of this voice.

I have already described my habitation, which was a tent under the side of a rock, surrounded with a strong pale of post and cables, but I might now rather call it a wall, for I raised a kind of wall up against it of turfs about two foot thick on the outside, and after some time, I think it was a year and a half, I raised raftersfrom it leaning to the rock, and thatched or covered it with bows of trees, and such things as I could get to keep out the rain, which I found at some times of the year very violent.

I have already observed how I brought all my goods into this pale, and into the cave which I had

made behind me.

I have sometimes been led actually to change my mind as a result of this kind of imaginary dialogue,and,short of this,I have frequently found myself growing less dogmatic and cocksure through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent. I hoped this situation would not end the same way.

I knew that I wanted to share the rest of my life with you. I knew.

I knocked pieces into the wall of the rock to hang my guns and all things that would hang up. I know both our children love you dearly; they arc outside the door now,wailing.

I know how she met my father there,and how they nurtured a trolley-car courtship through those difficult times.

I know it won't be long before we meet again in that small cafe in Hanover Square. I know what courage looks like.

I know you are tired,my dear,and I must let you go.

I 'll go out with you again,\my mother said as I dropped her off,\only if you let me buy dinner next time.\

I loan close to you and take hold of your hand and kiss your tender lips for die very last time.

I made a special study of Lincoln's method of dealing with people. Did he indulge in criticism? Oh,yes.

I missed your little girl today and wondered where she was. ‖ I must go now,my darling.

I mustn't forget to go downtown after school for Mother. I muttered over and over, and we wept together. I need to hear.

I nodded stupidly, my mind racing for something, anything, to say to this lovely young woman. I often complain about how quickly time flies.

I only see your sweet fender lips and youthful sparkling eyes as we sat and had out first picnic next to that small stream,and chased each other around that big old oak tree.

I remember being on the church steps grinning like a Cheshire cat,when you said how dashing and handsome I looked in my uniform.

I remember being so over enjoyed,when a year later,you gently held my hand to your waist and whispered in my ear that we were going to be a family. I remember that the little boy grabbed

I remember watching you intently,as you took off your hat and loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers.

I remember wishing those first few days together would last forever.

I saw it on a flight I took six years ago,and only now can I speak of it without tears filling eyes at the memory.

I saw no one. Then a couple of rows to my left,I heard a still calm voice,a woman's voice,speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone.

I settled back for some light reading and the brief flight ahead.

I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story,that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me,and that,in no other country on earth,is my story even possible. I strained to hear what this mother was telling her child.

I studied the life of Abraham Lincoln for ten years and devoted all of three years to writing and rewriting a book entitledLincoln the Unknown. I suppose that would depend upon what you mean.

I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. I tell her about my trials at work and brag about the kids and Peggy.

I tend to fill my calendar to the brim as I struggle to fit family,career and friendships into my life. I think of how young and innocent we were back then.

I thought I saw her mother on the porch and felt like demanding she keep her child at home. I took Wendy's mother in my arms. ―I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,‖

I turned to her and shouted, ―Because my mother died!‖-and thought, my God, why was I saying this to a little child?

I typedit into the computer. I typedit into the computer.

I understood what she was saying.

I wanted to see what the program would say about one of my favorite pieces of writing. I wanted to see what the program would say about one of my favorite pieces of writing. I was compelled to hear.

I was depressed; my life seemed completely out of balance.

I watched as your laughter faded into tears,as I stared at him and cried my own tears of joy. I went up to the cottage after my walk and knocked at the door.

I wipe the tears away from my eyes and bond my frail old legs down to the floor,so that I can kneel beside you.

I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish arid was alone in bed on the newspapers.

I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart,and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear,as the noise of war beat down around me.
