is headed At intervals OF a minute or more the
leadsman casts his lead, while every three four
minutes the observers take observations until the
end of the course is reached, where final set of
observations locate the end of the line The boat
then other lines in the way until the
entire bottom of the surveyed area has been
sounded.
The leadline method OF sounding sufices to
record the lay of the bottom with sufficient accu-
racy where there are no extraordinary obstruc-
tions but in regions like the coast of Maine
and that of Alaska, where there many isolated
pinnacle rocks and ledges under water or along
shores like those of Florida, Porto Rico and the
Philippines where coral reefs abound and coral
heads fringe the coast, special Investigations have
to be made. The lead line might be cast all
around a pinnable rock-might even strike it
glancing blow-and still fail to discover it.
An instance of this kind occurred in Buzzards
bay, Massachusetts,, in 1902. Although more than
1000 soundngs had been made, more than $4,000
angles observed and ,462 miles of sounding lines
run, rock whose head was IS feet below the
surface upon by the cruiser Brooklyn
during the naval maneuvers of that year
In order to discover such distractions in much
frequented waters a instrument, the wire
drag, has been devised. 1t consists OF long wire,
sometimes more than mile long, weighted down
at intervals with sinkers and supported at any
desired depth by surface buoys. Power boats are
htched to it, usually one at each end and one
in the middle and with these 1t is drawn around
a harbor much a farmer drives his binder
around his field of standing wheat If it strikes
no obstruction the photographers know that the
harbor bottom is clear to the depth of the drag.
Another line of information the mariner must
have is about the movement of currents so that
his ship may not be carried around by currents
whose presence he does not suspect. Information
concerning them is gathered by means of current
rods, rule. current rod is instrument
made to float vertically beneath the water, with
only its tip showing above the surface, that
it is not disturbed by the wind. It's movement is
observed, and the observations give definite infor-
nation concerning the currents.

HIGH COST OF ARMY FEEDING
Comparisons That illustrate Germany's Bills for
Feeding Her Army.

The question Of subsistence is vital one to
army, and many battles have been lost from
the failure Of food supplies The commissary de-
partment Of armies in all civilized countries is
in the hands of men who in reality dietetic
specialists on large scale. The present war is
the supreme test for the quartermaster's depart
ment
"Rations" as the daily food supply of the SOL
diers is known vary in each country according
to racial tests climatic conditions Thus the
meat ration of France is quite different from that
OF Germany For the purpose of comparison we
have taken the daily field ration of the German
army, which is as follows
Seven hundred and fifty grams of fresh bread,
500 grams Of biscuit
Three hundred and fifty grams OF raw meat
(fresh or salted), or 200 grams Of smoked beef.
pork, mutton, bacon meat sausage
One hundred and twenty-five grams of rice
(groats), or $50 grams of pulse or flour. or 1.5O0
grams OF potatoes.
Twenty-Five grams of salt
twenty-five grams of coffee (roasted) or 80
grams of coffee (green). or 8 grams of tea and
II grams OF sugar
This supply for a week compared with the
huge mass of Cologne cathedral shows results
very surprising for we have a loaf OF bread
weighing 60130000 pounds and 393 feet
high. which buks we'll alongside the lofty edi.
flee. Meat is represented by a side OF bacon but
in practice this might be varied by sausage
smoked beef. fresh beef salt meat, or mutton.
The bacon is $50 feet long and would weigh l6..
100000 pounds Potatoes are the heaviest item,
weighing 100 $50 900 pounds. The bag would be
two feet less in length. while the sugar bag would
measure 3S feet high and would weigh 1865 900
pounds. Such amounts OF food seem almost in
credible.-Scientifc American.
