state that a Captain Ferdinand has inven.
ted a machine to determine tho depth Of
the sea at any given place. aud to measure,
with mathematical precision, The direction
and velocity Of the currents in the middle
Of the ocean, aud 10 any required depth.
The Paris paper goes on To Stale that by
means Of this machine, the srience OF
geology will be considerably advanced, as
it will facilitate the examination OF the bed
of the ocean. lie has given it the name
OF Ilydrosiat, Under the name of an aerial

balloon which can be sent into the highest
regions of the air aud allow Of an obser.
yalon of the solar clouds, whose existence
was unknown until the total eclipse OF 1913.
This discovery led tho way to that OF the
hydroslat.
The hydrosiat descends to the bottom of
the ocean, and can easily be raised or low.
ered to indicate the exact depth 10 which il
has been, and can be sent to any ,.sciiied
distance. By means Of galyanism it can
be made to tell the sounding in the darkest

cision as in dead calm by daylight, and
can even tell them some distance in advance
