From the Philadelphia Ledger
For the last year or two the Government
has been diligently conducting surveys in
the Pacific Ocean, with the object Of de-
termining the most feasible route for a
cable conducting the United States with
the Philippine Islands. Some new and
very interesting facts have been discovered
by these surveyors and a more compre-
hensive knowledge has been gained of the
topography of a large part of the country
which lies beneath the waters of the
Pacific, between the Hawaiian Islands and
the Philippines. Last year, for example, a
new submarine abyss, deeper than anything
hitherto known, was discovered, and at the
time the bottom could not be sounded.
This year, the spot, which has been named
Nero Deep, was again visited, with greater
success, for bottom was found, though at
the enormous depth of 1868 fathoms. or
1854 feet. This abyss is of great extSnt.
According to the annual report Of Rear
Admiral Bradford, there is an almost level
plain Of soft mud Of a nearly uniform depth
Of 2,70o fathoms, extending from Honolulu
to the Midway Islands, and another about
500 fathoms deeper, between the latter and
Guam, broken by submarine reefs and
mountain ranges. In this territory, also,
was discovered a huge isolated mountain,
which rose to within - fathoms Of the
surface.
From scientific standpoint one Of the
most interesting discoveries made was that
Of submarine mountain range about 500
knots from Guam, which apparently con-
meets with the one which extends from the
coast Of Japan to the Bonin Islands. In
this range was found single peak which
came to within 49s feet Of the surface. and
a careful survey Of it developed the fact
that it closely resembles in outline the
famous volcano, Fuiiyama, near Yokohama.
Japan. To the north of this range, accord
ing to the report. the bed Of the ocean
slopes gradually to the eastward into the
great japanese Deep, which for years held
the record for ocean depths It is this
great range which seems to be the chief
obstacle to the establishment of successful
cable line. II way can be found to

unfortunate and the dependent there is a
deeper regard; the Christian spirit more
abounds; all have been blessed in mind, in
body and in store.
The watchful care and guiding hand of
the Wise Ruler Of Nations have attended
us. His mercies and blessings have not
been withheld in the year that ends the
century. For those Of the past and for
those which we now enjoy, we should give

goodness and His mercy, and to invoke His
continued favor in behalf Of our nation, our
