SCIENTISTS IN
 ANTARCT|CS
Germans Are Probably on Their Way Home with Information of
 Importance
UNIFORMS


 man Antartlc expedition, which is probaUIy starting now from the Isl- and of South Georgia for its earnest work in the frozen south, made a nun Der of important scientific discover ies on the way from Buenos Aires to Soutu Georgia. according to reports which have just reached here.
 The scientists Of the expedition made more than a hundred sOund!ngs on this stretch and found, among oCn- CT things, a strong sub-suTface cur rent, from 1,500 to 2,000 yards down which sweeps steadily toward the south from out the Atlantic Ocean Especial interest and doubtless great significance are lent to this discovery by the fact that similar current has been ound to flow north into the Art ic sea from the Atlantic
 New light also was thrown, by sounding, on the depth and extent of the Atlantics waves on the temper ature Of the water, it's salt content, etc, and on the configuration of the bottom of the sea. The difference between the temperature by night and day was found to be less than one-half of one degree, much less than had been generally believed.
 Along with iale soundings speci- mems of all sorts of deep-sea life were obtained and new methods were en- ployed by which it is hoped to ascer- tain the relative frequency of animal life in the waters sounded, as well as the available food supply The re- m ref vr-rH f= assist also in clearing up disputed points regarding the relationship oi various specimens of deep sea hab itants. Important meteorological ob- servations also were made by means of balloons
