 DENSITY OF WATER-T. s. M, Fort Point City, In view of the fact that the depth of the ocean has never been fath- omed 1t is impossible to tell if solid pleceof iron would go to the bottom. Close to the east coast of Japan the current flows through a marine valley, which in 1875 was sounded from the United States l steamer Tuscarora to a depth of five ana l d quarter miles. The heavy sounding l the bottom. A trial was made of a chasm | still deeper where the lead did not fetch | up bottom and that is said to be the only | ocean depth that remains unfathomed. | As to how far solid piece of iron will ! sink depends upon the size of the piece, the depth of the water and it's density. l Scientists assert that at a depth of 5000 | feet in the ocean the water is so dense | tha each square inch will support a weight l of 264S pounds. If that is true one thou ! sand pound projectile would not go to the | bottom where the depth is in excess Of 1 5000 feet
