The Grand.

The Two Tramps was the vehicle
that the DeLoy Dainty Dudines use for
the last three days Of this week at the
Grand for their songs, dances and mus
ical numbers, and 1t proved to be one
that was pleasing. Eddie DeLoy and
George Bierig, and Harry Wolf in the
principal comedian parts were well UP
to their business, while Myrtle DeLoy
and her pretty little sister, Tolla, each
had good parts, as did also the other
members Of the company. There were
many songs introduced and among
them was Good Bye Isabelle, Night and
Day and several others. The musical
comedy was nicely staged, the cos
tunes being new and all Of the access
series as they should be. Many
were called for yesterday, the first day
of the performance, and the play with
the 1000 feet Of films given with the
De Luxe daylight process made UP an
hour and a half show that just suited.

DID THE II.
TAN|C SINK To
THE BOT TOM?

Numerous inquiries have reached
the office of the Scientific American
in which it is asked: did the
Titanic sink to the bottom of the
ocean, or was she held suspended at
depth of few hundred feet?" There
is only one reply: The Titanic" is
at the bottom.
Such questions are based upon the
erroneous supposition that the densi-
ty Of the water at the bottom of
the sea is far greater than that at
the surface. Density is here confus-
ed with pressure The pressure in
creases enormously as we descend
amounting to considerably over g.
600 pounds per square foot at a
depth of 100 feet. Divers sometimes
work at depths OF as much as $50
feet, where the pressure is half a.
gain as much, 9,36375 pounds, to be
exact. When provided with special
armored diving suits, divers have O.
perated at considerably greater depts
but nothing approaching the depth at
which the Titanic" now lies. This
depth is given at 1000 fathons, which
is considerably over two miles, and
the pressure amounts to threequar-
ters OF a million pounds per square
foot.
1t is only natural to suppose that
under such presures the density of
the water would be increased; but
laboratory experiments have shown
that it is almost impossible to com
press water. Indeed, for a long time
1t was thought that water was Also
lutely incompressible; but by the
use of more sensitive measuring in
struments it has been found that at
depth of mile the density of sea
water is only 1-130 greater than at
the surface. However, for all prac-
teal purposes we may consider that
given volume of water is not ma
terially reducible in dimensions by
pressure.
With this clearly in mind, it is
very evident that an object that would
not float at the surface of the sea
could not float at any intermediate
point, but must surely sink to the
bottom; for it could not displace
a greater weight of water at the bot
tom than at the top, even though
the water in the first case was IN
der much higher pressure As a mat
ter of fact, any air-filled chambers
or compressible matter in the vessel
would be crushed in by the enormous
pressure of the water, SO that the
of the wreck would be
growing less rs it went down and
it would be falling through the wat
er at a corresponding acceleration
We must also remember that even
iron is more compressible than water
and consequently a solid block of
this material would actually weigh
more at the bottom of the sea than
at the top.-Scientific American.
