a method Of SUN ling the deep sea

John Munro. II consists of dropping
lead conta ming a cartridge which ex-
plodes on striking the bottom The
sound Of the explosion is received by
a submerged microphone apparatus
communicating with the ship. The
depth is estimated BY the time occu-
pied by the lead in sinking to the bot

complishing the same end was en-
ployed in Sir William Siemen's bath
