Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 279, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 November 1912 — Hard to See Under Water. [ARTICLE]

Hard to See Under Water.

There is no scientific Instrument of the “Bcope” character which enables one to see down to 50 or 60 feet under water. When the sun shines vertically over water, a box or bucket with a glass bottom is often used to look Into the water. A cloth covering to exclude light from the box or bucket is sometimes employed. But without electric or some other light in the water these devices are not very satisfactory.
