INVENTS A NEW METHOD
OF SOUNDING SEA DEPTHS
Frenchman Devises Instrument

French savant. Alphonse Berget. show
depths with great accuracy. no matter
how winding the course Of the sounding
line might be in reaching the bottom.
The new sounding apparatus invented
by NJ. Berget is based on the rise or
mercury in an instrument similar to
thermometer except that the rise OF the
mercury is caused by pressure instead
OF heat. The inside OF the glass tube
wherein the mercury is placed is lined
with silver. which is eaten away by the
mercury up 10 the point where the latter
is forced by the pressure Of the water
The apparatus used is graduated before
hand by means OF hydraulic pressure
Another new fact in oceanography
pointed out 10 the savant assembly by
the Prince OF Monaco was a discovery
made by NJ. Joublin. that the further one
descends into the depths Of the sea the
more formidable are the monsters en-
countered. and the depth AT which deep
sea monsters live may practically be
gagged by the length OF their teeth and
their general fighting power. The prince

sea vegetation diminishes as the depths
