THE NAVY

The new device developed by the
Navy which accurately measures
ocean depths with sound apparatus
is quite similar in principle to that
effected during the war for the detec-
tiOn of submarines. Its use is that
of creating a sound on the ship and
listening for the echo of this sound
from the bottom. measuring the time
between the creation. of the sound
and the return of the echo. So care
fully constructed is the device that
this interval can be obtained as ac-
curately Is one -tllousandth of a sec
ond. Heretofore different fnvestiga-
tlons of the velocity of sound in water
show considerable discrepancy, it be-
ing quoted by various authorities all
a second. The new device Of the
Navy. however, in addition to meas
uring depth of water also permits
measuring the velocity of sound in
water over known ranges of consid-
erable distance.
be used on ship steaming at high
rate OF speed. Soundings can be
taken a rapidly as desired. even up
to intervals as small as 100 feet or
more. Secretary DENLY stated that
after a little more investigation it
will be possible to construct a very
cheap device, which can be easily in
stalled on merchant ships and will
prove of great benefit to navigators,
especially in foggy or thick weather.
when ships have to rely to a consid-
erable extent upon the taking of
soundings. With the sound apparatus
developed by the Navy the navigator
knows instantly the depth and can
cause measurements to be made con-
tinuously, SO as to show Immediately
any change in depth.
Airplane Carriers Advocated.
If the recommendation of Assistant
Secretary Theodore Roosevelt before
the House committee on naval affairs
is carried out, the Navy. by convert
ing two battleship cruisers. will pos
sess two of the largest and swiftest
airplane carriers afloat. BY Col.
Roosevelt's plan, two battle cruisers
will. if converted, provide the car
riers with flying decks. 800 by LOG
feet in area, and with a speed of ap-
proximatelY thirty-four knots. In
order to take advantage of the maxi
mum flying decks. the smokestacks
will be on one side of the vessels.
Due to the storage capacity, it was
explained that 125 airpianes could be
taken care of on each one of the con-
verted ships. Col. Roosevelt declared
that the policy would save the gov.
ernment between $1S.0o0.000 and
$40, 1000. 900. He explained how, under.
a special agreement approved by the
without violating the naval treaty.
Further, he explained. it was through
the fnsistence of the other powers
that the airplane tonnage was raised
during the conference from $4,000 tons

FAILURE OF NORWICH
 YEARS BIG UPSET
Horse Hailed as Champion Three. Year Old Beaten by Surf Rider

r. Saratoga Springs. N. r.. Aug. 22.- The failure of Norwich as three yssr old to continue the invincible form he displayed as a Juvenile is considered by horsemen here to be the grearsst upset of the year in thoroughbred horse racing.
 Won Kentucky Derby
 Undsteated as a two year old, the Block colt was hailed this spring as the successor of Man O War as the champion three year old. He was eligible for the Kentucky derby and he made good in that event, winning easily over a band that was, however hardly rated of special calibre.
 Beaten by WhiskawAy
 Then Benjamin Block brought his colt east and in his first start he was decisively beaten by Harry Payne Whitney's Whiskaway which has been sold to c. W. Clark, the Cali fornia turf man. Norwich carried too weight in that race and it Is believed that with weights even he could win from Whiskaway. But not sc. In the Latonia special, at even weights Whiskaway again was an easy win ner.
 Yesterdays Race
 Yesterday Norwich made his first start since the Latonia event, wasApit- ted against Surf Rider, Motfort Jomes' gelding, which, though a steriing racer was not considered good enough to win from Norwich. The Block. colt went to the barrier as odds-on favorite. He broke away to a good lead and then after traversing ,5 l-2 furlongs of the seven furlongl race, quit, and Surf Rider won by five lengths.
 It is believed that Benjsmtn Block will not race Norwich again. tbut will retire him to the stud.
