UNDERGROUND DIVING
Not long ago a French cave explorer, Guy de Lavour, put on a diving suit in order to descend into an underground lake in ‘ Padirac Cave in Southern France. He came to an underwater gallery leading off from the lake and. groping his way along this saw, in 'the light of his electric lamp, one of the denizens of this weird region—a blind, colourless, fresh-water fish. He hopes to go down again and obtain a live specimen of the fish, whose ancestors, for countless generations, have dwelt in darkness.
