THE BATHYSCAPHE
The  Bathyscaphe  is a sort
of deep sea balloon which
sinks to the bottom of the
ocean because it contains
heavy ballast. When the
ballast is jettisoned the
bathyscaphe rises to the sur-
face. This principle was dis-
covered by Cervo in 1831,
The first bathyscaphe was
built by Balsamello who sub-
merged to a depth of 580
feet in his vehicle. The
illustration shows the Piatti
del Pozzo bathyscaphe which
was built in 1879.
