DEPTH AT WHICH SHIPS SINK
Any Heavy Body Will Go to the Bot tom, Since Water Is Nearly Inc
 compressibIe, Is Claim.

One of the most frequent inquiries in relation to the sinking of vessels is '|Does vessel that sinks go to the bottom ?" Replying to such ques- tions the Scientific American says:
 '"The belief seems to be widely held that at certain depth an iron ship or an iron ball will remain sus- pended, floating about and never reaching the bottom. These inquirers evidently confuse weight and pres sure. A body sinks in fluid when it weighs more than the fluid which it displaces, which evidently has the same volume as the body. For this reason any heavy body will go to the bottom in water, since water is near ly incompressible."
 An engineer of high repute took exception to this statement, assert ing that at a depth of 33.7 miles wa ter would be as dense as cast iron, and therefore cast iron would float at that depth. The Scientific Amer ican exposed the fallacy of this ar gument, and now publishes letter from "an authority connected with the geographical laboratory, Wash ington," containing calculations of the specific gravity of water at depths up to 36 miles. These prove that if there be water at any such depths 1t is frozen solid in the dense form of ice, frozen by the pressure of the water above it, since the freez- ing point of water is lowered by pres sure.

MAKING -MEATLESS
 DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer tile field for developing new and nour- ishing dishes, according to D. H. Niles, writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be- l!eves that the present shortage of meat and fats will not end with the coming of peace, but may grow more acute and continue for five or six years, thus making it worth while to develop menus of grain. vegetables and fish on more or less permanent basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals aud other protein foods, or may be served in very small portions as a fla yoring for other food. In making up meatless menus this author finds our American Creole and southern cuisine broad. field for investigation.

The Madison Woman's club will meet with Mrs. A. G. Hargrave, Comeback road, on Friday afternoon 2:30 o'clock. Members are asked to answer roll call with practical helps for the housewife or farmer. Mrs. Yaple will be present and give number of new ideas for war gardens
 At this meeting, Mrs. Charles Roth acker Sterling has been invited to meet the members of the club for the pur- pose of organizing community chorus which will be a valuable as well as very pleasant addition to the club work during the winter. Aside from the training of individual voices, Mrs. Sterling has made a speciality of male quartet and choral conducting and is especially well equipped for this line of work, having spent four years in daily study with one of the foremost choral conductors of the country, Fred erick W. Wodell, conductor of the Peo- ple's Choral Union of Boston, which is one of the largest and most finished or ganizations of its kind, giving Sym phony Hall concerts in conjunction with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
