CABLE SURVEY.
The ThetiS Will Make The SOundinsS TO
Honolulu.

WASHINGTON, June At has been def
nitely decided by the Navy Department to
use the Thetis, now at Scammon Lagoon,
Lower California, to survey the route for
cable to the Hawaiian Islands. The sound
ings will be made from San Francisco to
Honolulu. She will begin work just as soon
as the appropriation for that purpose be-
comes available, which will be July 1st, and
the work will be completed in two or three
months. Lieutenant Commander Clover,
the photographer, says that since the Tus-
carora took sounding fifteen years ago there
has been considerable diversity OF opinion
as TO the proper intervals between deep-Sea
soundngs to ascertain the topography OF the
bottom Of the ocean.
After giving long and careful attention to
this matter Lieutenant-Command Glover
has devised a system by which sOundings
will be taken at intervals of one and two
miles alternately, except when shoals are
discovered, when sOundiRgs Will be taken
every quarter of a mile, or even less, II
necessary. This plan will be employed by
the Thetis. The Tuscarora, in 1915, found
shOal or submarine mountain in latitude
$50 north, longitude 1922 30 west. At this
point (near the California COAST depth OF
1882 fathOms ranged rapidly upward to 3S8
fathoms. The Tuscarora found that the
greatest depth in the Pacific was along the
coast of Japan, at some points there being
depth of more than five miles. A piano
wire, having the length of five miles, was
lowered, but failed to touch bottom.
Admiral Belknap, In an article In Japan
paper, giving a description of his survey
work, doubts whether cable could be laid
in such great depths. But more feasible
route might possibly have been found
within 100 miles north or south of the point
where this sounding was made. Commander
Clover says that the piano wire IS admir-
ably adapted for this work. and will be
used by the Thetis. On the end of the wire
will be an iron plummet, so arranged that
the very moment it touches bottom it will
become detached, and the relaxation of the
wires tension, however slight, is recorded
on a delicate instrument on the shiD's deck.
An iron cup is also attached to the end Of
the wire, and this brings up a handful OF
sand, gravel or whatever formation lies at
