the vast reaches of the ocean depths have
seldom been fathomej. All sorts of weird
notions prevailed till recent years as to the
character of life, if any, and the temporal
lures to be found in those abysmll recesses.
The oceans bed is broken by broad val
leys and high peaks. just as is the land,
and their sides are covered and frequcnted
by a vegetation and 4 life. not to mention
climate, varied as that OF the suow-cad
peaks of the tropics. though reversing, like
a reflection. the gradauons 20 be found in
the light of day.
Each line Of souldings for submarine
cables, scientifically pursued. has added
vastly to the scope of oceanography, and it
is not saying too much to add that the
work soon to be undertaken by the |. s. 5.
Ranger will be watched by the savauis of
all nations.
Hawaii to Manila.
The ship has been ordered to supplement
the line of s0undilgs already made between
the United States and Hawaii by il line
hence to Guam ara from Guam 20 Manila.
The Ranger has been employed in deep
sea work before, ana but a shori time Will
he needful to fit her for this magnified task
and the final work preparatory to laying
Il cable to that distant possession.
IN rough figures. allowing for 4 slightly
ziS-zaS course, the ship viii have to steam
quite 5000 miles and. beyond the 1o0-faJh-
ON line near shore, Nil have to take
sounding on an average of every ten miles:
while near land, where the inequalities of
surface are more general, even more fire.
quent casts must be made. This viii mean
no less than 600 Soundin9s in che direc-
ton. and, n round numbers. will represent
nearly whole months continuous labor in
lowering and raising the sounding line
alone.
Need for Survey.
Some cables have been laid without pre-
vous soundngs but the accidents and eX-
perse of the work have more than balanced
the cost of Il preliminary survey, while
some of the data most essential to the
safety and efficiency CT the cables have
been totally ignored. The reasons for a
survey are manifold. To begin, only by re-
peatej soundings can the total length Of
cable be determined, as it fills not only the
plains. but the hills. yes, mountains, and
chasms of the ocean bed, and thus, too,
must be discovered the composition of that
bottom on which the line must lie, for the
cable must he made to harmonic or meet
the conditions imposed by each locality.
From one shore end to the other 4 cable
varies many. many times in lis constitution
to agree with the circumstances fixed by
nature. Near the shore line ana within the
l0G-fa thOn1 area there are vegetable
grGwths that decompose and form iodine,
which will attack the iron sAcat hing of the
cable. There, too, ard even much deeper,
currents may set up constant erosion that
will wear away the StouteSt armOring of
steel wire, while even to depth of 1000
fathCms may be found the minUtest of

HniIeN md Chiffon.

Caldwell News-Chrcnicle,
There is a whole lot OF rot appearing In
the papers these days intended to influence
Joe Bailey to let Mr.. Chiffon alone in his
glory in congress- Nest of these silly
writers give. as their reasons for object
ing to the race, the opinion the campaign
between these two strong men would tear
and rend and split the Texas democracy.
II appears TO us thst IL is getting rather
late in the day to use that argument TO try
10 influence enc man to let another man s
office alone. The same argument wsdld
amply every two years to the guberna-
torial situation. There are always TWO
or more heavyweight democrats who are
candidates for that office. Look at the
campaign last year. Is Texas or democ-
racy any worse off today for the vigorous
fight made by Savers Crane, Wynne and
Jester for the office of governor The man
who is afraid Mr.. Chiffon viii lose his
seat in congress will say this fight viii
be a great deal harder and VIII enSepdei
more ill-feeling. Didn't Clark do all on
earth any man could TO split Texas de-
mocracy up the back? Are we any worst
off now? Didn't it tend toward the puri'
iication of politics?
Can any sane man for an instant be-
lieve that where one political party is abb
solutely undisturbed in It's control of Stat
affairs that It is rs honest and open In ~
dealings as 1t would be II constantly II
fear OF being deprived Of power by
watchful people?
The same idea will apply equally wei
TO men The coming contest between
Bailey and Chiffon viii tend to make MI
Bailey even more w3tchful and alert thai
ever for chance to do his country. nj
constituency and incidentally himself an
his candidacy a service. Mr.. Chiffon vii

same feelings and aspirations and will
therefore, do all in his power 10 do some
thing to distinguish himself. BY thi
means the state gets the best possibl
