FLOOR OF THE OCEAN.
Vast undulatins Plains Lie Two or
Three Miles Beneath the Waves

The ocean has been sounded in nearly
all directions with modern appliances and
these soundings show that the floor OF
the ocean consists Of vast undulating
plains, lying at an average depth OF
about 2ts miles beneath the surface Of
the waves. In some places rugc ridges
and cones riS" from these submerged
plains to within a few hundred fathoms
of the sea surface or they may rise
above tho surface rs volcanic islands
and coral atols The greatest depth
hitherto recorded is in the Challenger
toe Eero) Deep in the north Pacific 5a69
fathoms. II Mount Everest were placed
in this deep. 900 feet of water would roll
over the peak OF this. the highest noun
tain in the world. The greatest depth in
the Atlantic is in the Mares Deep, be
tween the West Indies and bermuda
1862 fathoms. The greatest depth in the
Indian Ocean is 3S2S fathoms in the Whar
ton Deep, between Christmas Island and
the coast of Java. We now know &c Of
these deeps where the depth exceeds
three geographical miles. 10 areas where
the depth exceeds four miles. and four
places where it exceeds five miles.
The sea, as all the world knows. is salt.
1t is sailed whore strong dry winds blow
across the surface, as. for instance, in
the trade wind regions and in the Medi-
terranean and the Red Sea. II is less
salt toward the poles and in the deeper
layers of the ocean. 1t has long been
known that the very salt water of the
Mediterranean flows as an under-current
outward through the Strait of Gibraltar.
and thus affects the salinty of the deep
or waters of the Atlantic over a wide
area. Although the amount Of salt i'll Sc
water varies, the composition of sea salts
remains very constant; slight differences
have, however, been noticed along the
| continental coasts, in the polar regions.
and in the water in direct contact With
deep-sea deposits
| The temperature of ocean water varies
at the surface from 2S degrees Fahren-
heit at the poles to over 80 degrees
! Fahrenheit in the tropics. The cold Wa
| ter toward the poles has an annual varia-
| ton of less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit
! in a band that nearly encrcles the earth
| this is the region o. coral reefs and
! atoils. Between these regions of small
annual variation there are two bands sur
| rounding the earth where the annual
| variation is greater. and may exceed in
| certain regions 10 degrees Fahrenheit at
| any one spot.-Sir John Murray in
| Harpcr's.

RADlUM AS A REJUVENAToR.
Result Of Experiments With injee

Prof. Gabriel Petit, who mas u'e'
covered that radium injections il''o
the arteries of an old horse had sur
prisinsly rejuvenating effect, in1ormeu
a Daily Mail representative yesterday
that while it was for too early TOT
him to give any detailed information
about his experiments in radioactive
sarums, he was greatly cncouraged d!
the results of the injections of his se-
rum on human beings and animals.
He found that the injections seemed
to increase the powers of resistance,
AND generally had Il Strengthening
effcrt.
With regard to Sir William RAM
sey's statement of the mortal effects
of radium infections on cats, the pro-
fossnr asked whether the distinguish
cd English scientist meant subcutan-
eous or intravenal injections. Prof..
Petit is onfv concerned with intrave-
nal injections. which he claims to De
harmless If the radium is given in
small quantities. The radio active
serum is prepared from suipliate OF
raljum. which is used in preference
to bromide of radiunl. as the latter Is
soluble. It is INFECTED into vein,
the blood is drawn off, and the serum
