The Abysses of the ocean.

The deepest valley on the bottom of the
seas has been found near the northeastern
extremity of Dampier strait, about 12O
miles north of New Guinea For dis
lance of six leagues the soundings showed
a depth varying from $500 to 81 600 feet,
or considerably more than five miles.
Another sea abyss of almost equal depth,
though not of the same width, has been
discovered in latitude Is north and longi-
tude 65 west, near the Tortola group of the
Virgin archipelago, in the West Indies
The submarine banks of Newfoundland
sink abruptly from 200 fathOms to a depth
of more than four miles, and southwest of
st. Helena a vast basin maintains an
average depth of 81 900 feet Yet COM
mander Tenneman, of the Prussian navy.
reminds the tOpOgraphers of the sea that
the records of all soundings and dredgings
of the last $50 years represent only dotted
lines, traced here and there over the
surface of an unreasonable area, and leav-
ing as many unexplored interspaces as if
our topography of the North American
continent were limited to the lines, or
rather stations, of the American railway
system.-Dr. Felix L. Oswald.
