SUBMARINE DEPTHS.
Interesting Description Of the Bottom
the Ocean.

Interesting Description Of the Bottom Of
/ the Ocean.
| At the depth Of about $500 feet
waves are not felt. The temperature
is the same. varying only trifie from
the ice Of the north pole to the burning
sun of the equator. A mile down the
water has pressure of over ton to
the square inch. II a box six feet wide
i were filled with sea water and allowed
to evaporate under the sun, there would
be two inches of salt left on the bot
tom. Taking the average depth Of the
ocean to be three miles. there would be
layer Of pure salt go feet thick on the
bed Of the Atlantic. The water is colder
at the bottom than at the surface. In
many bays on the coast OF Norway the
water often freezes at the bottom be-
fore it does above.
Waves are very deceptive. To look
ut them in a storm one would think the
water travelled. The water stays in the
, same place. but the motion goes on.
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high and travel fifty miles
an hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamship. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five feet
high will extend over seventy-five feet
Of water. The force of the sea dashing
on Bell Rock is said to be seventeen
tons for each square rod.
Evaporation is wonderful power In
drawing the water from the sea. Every
year layer of the entire sea, fourteen
! feet thick, is taken up into the clouds
The winds bear their burdens into the
land, and the water comes down in
rain upon the fields, to flow back at last
/ through rivers.
The depth Of the sea presents an in
teresting problem. If the Atlantic were
| lowered for 6.5G4 feet, the distance from
shore to shore would be half as great.
! or l.509 miles. If lowered little more
than three miles, say 1860 feet, there
would be road of dry land from New
foundland to Ireland.
| This is the plan on which the great
Atlantic cables were laid. The Medi-
terranean is comparatively shallow. A
| drying mp Of 600 feet would leave three
different seas. and Africa would be
joined with Italy.
The British Channel is more like a
pond. which accounts for it's choppy
waves. 1t has been found difficult to
get the correct soundings of the At
lantic. A midshipman of the navy
overcame the difficulty, and a
shot weighing thirty pounds carried
down the line. A hole is bored through
the sinker. through which rod of iron
is passed. moving easily back and forth.
In the end Of the bar a cup is dug out
and the inside coated with lard. The bar
| is made fast to "a line and sling holds
the shot on. When the bar. which ex-
tends below the ball. touches the
earth. the sling unhooks and the shot
slides off. The lard in the end OF the
bar holds some of the sand. or what
