However, this genius for appropriat-

photographs were made Of the bottom of
the Mediterranean.
For time Mr.. Boutan was stationed at
Banyuls. in the south of France, near the
Spanish frontier, for the purpose of
studying the modes of reproduction of
various mollusks. In divers dress he
made several trips to the bottom of the
sea, and with aid of a specially con-
structed camera made photographs of
what he saw there. Pictures taken by
the French scientist show immense cav
ems, great rocks fields of long grass
and what appear to be gardens of giant
orchids. some of them bigger than a
house.
Soundings taken by surveying ships
have shown that at one place the depth
was 5000 feet, and at another point a few
miles further away, a depth of Il, 900 feet
This goes to prove that the bottom of
the ocean has deep valleys and high
mountains. In the North Atlantic, be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland, it is
believed that there is vast area of
submarine table land.
While scientists differ as to the exact
character of the oceans bottom ,N is
quite certain that it is an uneven place
full of holes and ruts and no place for
a small boat on wheels to go.

a couple on their wedding tour were

double breasted coats of white flannel
over shirts of pale blue linen, with
polka-dot ties, sashes of black silk and

Then. again. they appeared in checked
tweeds, with cloth caps and cloaks of
identical cut.
This interchange of articles of dress
between men and women gives rise to
various questions yet unsettled. For

strongest vessel that human ingenuity
could devise.
In the Pacific ocean north of New
Guinea depth of n, 450 feet was sounded
by Commander Balfour Of the British
surveying ship Penguin, and several
years ago Rear Admiral Belknap of the
United states ship Tuscarora found a
depth of 1880 feet between Japan and
the Kurlie islands. 1t is believed that
there are many places in the Pacific
where the depth is greater than five
miles. If Mr.. Lake should attempt to
penetrate water to this depth in his new
boat the experiment would be inter-
estng.
One of the difficulties of travel along
the oceans bottom even should the boat
reach there, is the fact that the round
is very uncertain. Quite recently Louis
