Strange Noises From Ocean’s Depths
The deep-sea expedition of scientists from Bermuda in the ketch Caryn, has already achieved some remarkable results. The scientists have made a record of noises uttered by fish. * A • hydrophone—an underwater listening apparatus—was lowered 200 feet, and this amplified the queer noises made by the residents of those depths. There were screams, wails, hoots, whistles and, strangest of all, a sound like a cow mooing. It has been known for some time that fishes can make noises of different kinds, but this is probably the first recording of their great variety.
