Gases are readily compressible, and

they do not as do gases, change their
bulk, although they flow and fit to any
shape; their particles do not tend to sepa-

every thirty feet which we descend in
the sea.
At l,OO0 fathoms this amounts to about
one ton per square inch-and to double
that at 1000 fathoms gas would be
enormously compressed and made dense
by such pressure, becoming reduced to
half its volume, and therefore of doubled
density (more or less exactly, for every
thirty feet of water beneath which 1t is
sunk. At depth of 1000 fathoms it would
be compressed to 1920 of its bulk, and
be 200 times as heavy, bulk for bulk, as
It was at the surface.
But pressure has no such action on
liquids. That is one of their characters
tics. At one time the observations made
by early experimenters were held to prove
that water is absolutely incompressble

whether this goes on for all increase OF
pressure. But even if it did, that would
only give an increase of density at 1000
fathoms corresponding to a reduction OF
its bulk by 1-50. And that, which is
probably largely in excess las we do not
know that the same relation of compress
sion to pressure is maintained at very
great pressure, would have practically no
effect in the sinking through the deep

due to compression would be negligible

7 HAVE been asked whether it is pos
sible that the Titanic is now COM
plotting its Inflated trip to New York
at the bottom of the ocean. 1t has been
suggested that the steamship has not yet
reached the bottom of the Atlantic, but is
now floating, some fathoms below the sur
race, unable to sink any further on &C
count of the increased density of tho wa
ter at that great depth.
Based upon this belief that the Titanic
could never reach the bottom because Of
the great density of the water, it is con.
tended that the vessel must now be near

. sta current which flows from Labra.

WOULD WEED OUT
N. J. ALIEN WARDS
Commissioner Byers Reports
They Fill Hospitals and
y Should Be Deported.
IFrom = star Correspondent

TRENTON. N. j., March 31.-Com-
missioner of Charities and Correc-
tons Joseph P. Byers has issued an
analysis of all the State wards, COW
ering the nativity and age of the in
mates and showing the percentages
of foreign-born State patients.
The report, Mr.. Byers says, justifies
a resolution recently passed by the
advisory board of superintendents
acting in conjunction with the chart
ties and corrections department that
an agent should be appointed to act
in conjunction with the United States
immigration Bureau in deporting
aliens for whose support New Jersey
is no longer legally or morally bound
Mr.. Byers shows there are 1867
State wards at the present time, Of
this number 7,7l7 are native born
3,28S foreign, and the remaining 502
are of unknown nativity. Eliminat-
ing the unknown cases and figuring
the percentage on the 11,005 known
cases, it will be found that 29.7 per
cent of the wards of the State now
under public care are foreign-bor
In some of the States, notably New
York, Mr.. Byers says, State coopera-
ton with the government in deport-
ing these foreign born charges has
been taken up and hundreds of such
patients have been returned to their
home countries. This has saved to
the State of New York hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and at the same
time some relief from overcrowded
conditions has resulted.
The opportunities for similar work
In New Jersey, Mr.. Byers thinks, are
excellent. There are 7,490 insane pa
tients in the various hospitals
throughout the State. of these 2,557
or BAL per cent, are foreign-born,
and Mr.. Byers thinks no other argu-
ment is required to show the necessity
of immediate State cooperation with
the government for deportation of
those whose admission is barred by
our immigration laws.
