SOUND The OCEAN
Scientific Investigation Is Now
Going On.
Strong Probability That the Wonders
Of the Deep Viii Be Revealed
Very Shortly.

Difficulties encountered in deep Sea
sounding are disclosed by a marine
engineer writing in the London eng
lanD Daily Mail.
Dcep-sea sounding of late years. he
says has become very exact science.
When a ship is thousands of miles
from land the real work begins. To
sink n lead to quite shallow depth
is the easiest thing in the world But
when II comes to working in miles,
sailors are brought up against a very
different problem.
Even today nobody knows exactly
where the greatest depth exists, for
the simple reason that no instrument
at present invented can reach the bot
tom in the deepest parts. theory
accredited by scientists is that below
a certain depth solid matter refuses to
sink because the pressure Of the water
is so great that specific gravity is over
come.
Ii is widely held that when ships
sink in the deepest parts of the ocean
they never reach bottom. but float
about suspended in the water at a
depth below which their weight Is
not sufficient to take them. The
greatest depth WHICH has been sounded
up to the present Is just over five
miles. But 1t is thought that parts Of
the ocean are perhaps four times as
deep.
In this branch Of nautical service
wonderful Instruments are used At
tached to the leads of the saunders,
which weigh seventy pounds and are
suspended on plano wire, are specially
constructed cups, which close auto
matically and bring up samples of
the oceans bed. They are provided
with a dial, upon which the depth
touched by the leads is at once rec
orded, and are in use in all ocean
going cable ships which must of
necessity determine of what the ocean
bed consists.
Time after time ships working in far
seas have seen no record of solid
matter reached by reading the sounder
dial. because the leads are not suf-
ticiently heavy to reach bottom.
All records may very soon be broken
by the Shackleton expedition to the
Antarctic. The grab sinker which they
will use can be employed at a depth
of seven miles. What will be found
nobody can say. All existing theories
may be exploded, but it is certain that
some Interesting data will be forth
coming
Naturally, deep-sea sounding is es-
sential from many points. Fog is the
seaman's enemy. Soundings must be
taken to avoid disaster. Formerly the
leads used were smeared with tallow.
Many interesting specimens were
brought to the surface but nothing is
known of the flora and the fauna, that
exists at great depths. Hence the
constant attempts to discover better
sounding apparatus.

But there is clear though per-
haps close distinction between that
case and the present where the only
question left to the board was the
determination of public con-
venience and necessity"
The petitioners contend and cite
many authorities to the effect that
they are entitled to notice and an
opportunity<to appear and contest
the legality, justice and correct
ness" Of the proposed assessment
against them. But if the benefit is
reasonably proportionate to the tax
burden the proposed assessment is
legal and in theory of law Just.
This the petitioners have the oppor-
tunity of contesting and in this pro-
ceeding are Ncontesting. When any
tax is assessed they will have an op-
portunity to be heard upon it's "cor-
rectness" L. e., it's equality according
to the just value of property within

BY section 10 of the act. the di
trict is charged with 70 per
cent. of the cost of maintaining the
bridge and the county with 80 per
cent. Counsel for the petitioners by
their Illuminating argument and
brief contend that even if the county
and district may be required to con-
tribute to the building of the bridge,
the provision respecting mainte-
nance is unconstitutional and void.
They cite the case of Hammett VS..
Philadelphia IS Penn. State 146.
This case holds that while the abut-
tiers upon a public street may be
compelled to pay for it's original
constructions. they cannot under the
constitution be charged with it's
maintenance. The ground for the
distinction seems to be in effect that
it is necessary to draw line some
where" Later Pennsylvania court
decisions have approved the HAM

l am not impressed with the
soundness of the Pennsylvania
courts reasoning and it does not
seems to have been followed or ap-
proved by other courts
But it is not necessary now to de-
eide whether this distinction is or is
not well founded, or whether the
charge upon the district for mainte-
nance is reasonably proportionate to
benefits. These problems are not
now before the Court.
The parts of the act relating to
construction and maintenance re-
spectively are independent and sep
arabic and even if one part is in
valid, the other if constitutional
must stand. Hamilton VS.. Portland
Pier Site district.
The final objection is that poll tax
payers are required to pay some part
OF the expense. This in my opinion
does not vitiate the act.
