OCEAN DEPTHS.

The deepest regions Of the ocean are
commonly close 10 the shore and are
believed to have been caused by the
crumpling inward of the earth's crust.
due to the pressure Of the near land.
Such Is the 'Tuscarora deep" q long.
narrow trough which extends northward
from Japan along the coast Of Asia. Its
bottom being more than 1880 feet be-
low the surface of the sea n 1880
feet below the general level OF the oceans
floor. An even more profound abyss Is
tho Aldrich deep. close to the Tongan
and kermandeck islands. which sinks to
a depth OF 30.950. The greatest yet
found. however. Is the Swire deep. of
AIindanao Of the Philippines. this being
s2.0s9 feet, or s,0S9 feet deeper than
Mount Everest Of the Himalayas b high.
However, n gains an idea Of the rarity
Of such abysmal regions from the fact
that OF the $3.50 soundings that have
been made and reported in water over
1000 fathoms in depth. only seventeen
were greater han 1000 and only three
exceeded 5000 fathoms In depth. The
greatest recorded depth OF the ocean is
only 400 feet more than six miles.-Sct.
