Throughout all the water regions there are many kinds of animal life, more than can be found in our oceans. THROUGHOUT ALL THE WATER REGIONS THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF ANIMAL LIFE MORE THAN CAN BE FOUND IN OUR OCEANS
row strips of earth are infested with numerous species of land animals. It may seem incredible that the depths of the ocean should be the seat of intelligence rivaling our own. The human creatures of Stazza average a trifle larger in size than we, but they travel horizontally in water like a large fish. The limbs support the body in rest, and in traveling are used like the hind legs of a frog, only more gracefully. The arms closely resemble ours and have an infinite variety of uses. In addition, there are four fin-like arms that fold into the body when at rest, but are spread for service when traveling. In all it must be admitted that these Stazza people are capable of traveling more rapidly, and covering longer distances with much less fatigue than are we. They can also carry greater burdens with more ease. They wear no garments except one or two small pieces made of a tough species of sea grass. Five-sixths of Stazza are covered with water and its depth at a few points is very great.
