ON OCEANS BED.

What becomes of the ship that
sinks in mid ocean? If it is of wood
it takes, in the first place, consider
able time for it to reach the bottom
In 100 or more fathoms of water a
quarter of an hour will elapse before
the ship reaches bottom. It sinks
slowly and, when the bottom is
reached, it falls gently into the soft,
oozy bed with no crash or breaking.
Of course, if it is laden with pig iron
or corresponding substances, or if it
is an iron ship, it sinks rapidly and
sometimes strikes the bottom with
such force as to smash in pieces. Once
sunken, ship becomes the prey of
the countless inhabit, nts of the ocean.
They swarm over and through the
great boat and make it their home.
Besides this they cover every inch of
the boat with a thick layer of lime.
This takes time, of course, and when
one generation dies another contin-
ues the work. until finally the ship is
so laden with heavy incrustations,
corals, sponges and barnacles that, if
wood, the creaking timbers fall apart
and slowly but surely are absorbed in
the waste at the sea bottom.
Iron vessels are demolished more
quickly than those of wood, which
last for centuries. The only metals
that withstand the cemical action of
the waves are gold and platinum, and
glass also seems unaffected. No mat
ter how long gold may be hidden in
the ocean, it will always be gold when
recovered, and this fact explains the
many romantic and adventurous
searches after hidden submarine
treasures lost in shipwrecks.

rs GIBRALTAR USELESS?

An article of exceptional interest
written by Spanish military officer
appears in the Memorial de Artil
leria, showed that the extended range
of modern artillery has completely
revolutionized the conditions which
have hitherto enabled Gibraltar to
protect its own arsenals and dock
yard and to afford safety for vessels
at anchor under the guns of the for
/ tresS
| When Gibraltar was taken by the
English in 1904, the greatest range
| for artillery fire was only about 5000
yards, SO that fleet under the bat
| teries of Gibraltar was secure against
attack from the Spanish coast.
1t is now pointed out that with a
compa' atively small expenditure of
money by the Spanish government
batteries constructed in the bay of
Algeciras, upon the ridge of noun
tains known as the Queen of Spain's
Chair, would actually command Glib
raltar at distance of 1000 yards, and
would be capable of demolishing the
whole length of the Notifications
from the Galleries to Europa point.
These Spanish batteries would also
threaten the entry of ships OF war to
Moles. This plan would merely in
volve the mounting of some 40 heavy
guns of from Al inch to IL inch calib
er and similar number of howitzers.
At the present moment the strateg-
ical points on this part of the Spanish
coast are entirely unfortihed, and
with SPANS present embarrass-
ments in Cuba and the Philippines it
is not likely that the Madrid govern
ment will take immediate action in
the matter. But that these batteries
may be constructed some day or 9th
er is far from improbable, and, in
view of the great Importance to Eng
land of Gibraltar as naval base, and
the renewed expenditure upon its
combined arsenal and dock yard, the
subject is beginning to attract the
serious attention of naval and mill
tary authorities.
