...Montreal's 267-lb. mayor, Ca-millien Houde (who spent some of the war years in a Canadian concentration camp for advising French Canadians not to register for the draft), De Bernonville's war record didn't look so bad. Houde and his nationalist friends were cooking up a new political party, Le Parti Canadien. De Bernonville looked like just what they needed to bring French Canadian voters running.

But it had its unpleasant features: "There were some ridiculous (though hurtful) smears on my reputation."

It will not be suspended from a cable, like William Beebe's bathysphere (which set a 3,000-ft. depth record in 1934). The Piccard sphere will float like a balloon in the ocean depths, supported by tanks filled with buoyant gasoline. A heavy iron keel attached by electromagnets will cause the sphere to sink. To rise, Piccard will cut the electric current and release the keel. The bathyscaphe can cruise...
