and capable of registering pull up to
Is tons. The ship then steams ahead
at speed of one or two knots an hour
in a kind of taking maneuver at
right angles to the line Of the cable.
While the ship Is engaged in graphing
a member Of the crew, ordinarily the
fourth officer, sits on the grapnel rope
near the bow and can usually tell by
the strain when the cable has been
hooked. The instant the cable Is
hooked the ship Is stopped and the
grapnel rope is slowly wound in by
the hauling machinery. Sometimes the
cable will stand the heavy strain Of
being lifted until it reaches the sur
face, only to snap and sink to the bot
tom again before 1t can be secured.
When this happens the ship steams to
a new location and starts graphing
anew.
When the cable is brought safely to
the surface, it is first secured on either
side of the grapnel by what is known
as chain stopper" this work being
done by a man lowered over the bow
in a boatswain's chair. The cable Is
then cut, each end is connected to the
instrument in the testing room, and
the stations at San Francisco and Hon.
olulu are each called up. 1t is more
than likely, OF course, that the ship
will not be able to speak to one of the
stations, as the fault will probably lie
at some point between the ship and
the station. In case it is necessary for
the ship to steam one way Or the other
to find the fault, as 1t usually is, 1t Is
necessary to leave one end Of the cable
behind and to secure it SO that it can
be raised again without graphing. One
of the big seven-ton buoys shown In
the illustration is made ready, a flag Is
put on 1t, and 1t Is lifted overheard by
a derrick. One end of the cable Is at
tached to the buoy by long mooring
chain and rope, and is allowed to sink
to the bottom, the buoy itself being
held in place by mushroom anchor.
At night time the buoy carries light
The ship now starts picking up the
cable toward the fault. This is slow
process, requiring careful navigation,
as the ship must be kept going slowly
ahead at such speed as to relieve the
strain on the pickingIup gear. The
cable comes on board at the rate Of
one or two miles an hour and is coiled
by the men into one of the large round
tanks that take the place of the hold
in an ordinary ship. The cable is
guided from the bow to the tank by
series Of sheaves placed at intervals
on the deck. While this operation is
going on, the electricians continue test
ing and the cable may have to be cut
several times before the actual fault Is
on board. With the fault found, the
defective portion of the cable is cut
out, and a good piece from the ships

WONDERFUL PREHISTORIC
FIND MADE IN COLORADO

The exploring of excavations In the
Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado,
which the department OF the Interior
Is conducting under the direction OF
DR.. Jesse w. Fewkes, Of the Smithson,
ian Institution are successful to a de-
gree scarcely anticipated when the
work was begun.
Thus said Enos Mills, author and
naturalist, when interviewed at his
home under the shadow OF Longs Peak
having recently returned from an ex-
animation of the work so far accom-
pllshed by the busy scientists.
"The new excavation" continued MIR.
Mills, is across the canyon from the
famous Cliff Palace. This palace. as the
remarkable prehistoric city Is FOOLISH

ly called, stands beneath the rim or
the cas- side of the canyon, while the
astonishing structure first unearthed
stands upon the rim Of the west side.
For many years visitors to the Mesa
Verde National Park have noticed a
huge mound opposite the Cliff Palace
with trees growing upon IL. 1t has
aroused a great deal of curiosity and
many have been the speculations con-
corning It's meaning, especially when
stones were discovered emerging from
Il that evidently had been cut by tools
In the hands Of man. 1t is this mound
which the department of the interior
determined to explore and under which
DR.. Fewkes has just found the most
remarkable prehistoric structure north
OF the Aztec architecture in Mexico.
"This splendid structure is cut and
polished stone. The building has the
form Of a capital ID. The straight ele-
walton Is 1913 feet long and the curv-
ed part 245 feet. The outer walls are
double, and between them are a series
OF narrow rooms. AS the outer walls
are unbroken. the entrane to this
building must have been either sub
terranean or by the means of ladders
through the top.
DR.. Fewkes believes the ruin was an
uncompleted fortress abandoned when
, the cliff jewellers disappeared from the
Rocky Mountain region. He does not
| think the cliff jewellers we're EXTERN
mated however. but believes that AT
| the time they abandoned their uncom-
pleted fortress they had become strong
enough TO leave their mountain refugees
and mingle with the tribes OF the low
lands. After that. perhaps, they be-
came amalgamated with the various
Indian races and lost their separate
identity.
AT Moki Spring. a short distance
from these ruins. there are q number
of other tree grown mounds very SIM
liar In appearance to the n Just
-excavated. Here and there cut stones
are exposed In these. 1t Is possible
that there Is a buried city beneath
these mounds. DR.. Fewkes expects
next year to find whether or not there
is a buried and prehistoric city con
cealed beneath"
