Department to make another line of
soundings before definitely deciding
upon the route for the proposed sub
marine cable between San Francisco

at Washington of the survey of the
two lines recently completed by the
Fish Commission steamer AlbatrOSs.
Many Irregularities, ranging from
normal to submarine mountains two
and one-half miles in height, were
found in these lines. Orders have
been telegraphed to Lieutenant-Com-

get his vessel ready at once for making
a new survey. The new line will be
run on great circle, starting at or
near Point Conception, Cal, to the
island of Hawaii. Experts of the
United States photographic Office,
who have kept a careful record OF all
the soundings made, expect more

is now proposed to run. The work
already done, they say, Indicates the
