CUBAN WATERS SURVEY
COMPLETED IN 10 YEARS

Washington. Sept. 10 CA. P.)-The
United States Navy has Just COM
pletcd another chapter of a ten year
job of great interest and importance
to mariners and photographers. 1t
is the Cuba Survey, the mapping of
the almost unknown waters around
that island, undertaken in the inter-
cSts of American shipping as we'll as
of national defense.
Ever since its inception. 1t has been
the hope of the Navy photographic
Office to gather and make charts and
records of the waters of the entire
world, with especial stress laid on
charting nearby areas. The Carib-
bean and the Gulf Of Mexico are so
full OF unknown islands and large
and small coral reefs and Gays, that
in 1906 the Cuban government asked
this government to undertake a close
, survey of nearby waters The
photographic Office undertook the
job.
From 1907 to 1917 the waters along
the Cuban coast from Cape Maysi,
the eaSternmost extremity, to Glen
fuegos, were sounded and mapped.
The Wcrld War brought this activity
to close and it was not continued
until early this year, when the per-
sonnet was reorganiZed and set to
charting the section along the south
western coast of the land from Glen
fuegos to Cape San Antonio. In
this area is the Gulf of Batabano,
bordercd by the Isle of Pines.
In making the survey small boats
have run lines of soundings across
local sectors. taking bearings from
time to time upon triangulation

shoals. A straight stretch of railway
track along the Cuban coast was
measured for a base line, and with
these aids the naval officers have re-
ported completion of the largest sea-
sons task of the entire survey. An
area of 7G0 square miles was covered,
$50 miles of shore line were plotted,
and $500 miles of soundings were
taken. Because of weather con-
ditionS. the survey season was limit
cd to the period from the end of
January to about August first.
Many important mistakes in pre-
vious charts were discovered. One
shoal shown as nearly awash was
found to be actually 80 feet below
the surface. The mother ship Of the

approach Batabano. through water
heretofore accounted too shallow for
large vessels to use.
One OF the interesting sections
plotted by the surveyors was the
white Sea-" so called on account
of the unusually white sand found
on the bottom. the reflection from
which almost completely overcomes
the natural blue color of the trop.c
water. 1t is said that Columbus
found this stretch. and was so taken
by its oddity that he took bottle OF
the water back to Queen Isabella.

Quill Pens Pssse

London. Sept. 4 CA. p. by MaiD-
Quill Pens have been abolished at
Southwark county court. This breaks
tradition of $50 years, and de-
prives barristers of an implement of
many uses.
Quill pens in skilled hands have
been known to be useful for other
things than writing. They were wav-
ed to drive home arguments. They
were flourished to distract attention
from some specially obvious flaw In
reasoning. Stubborn and timid wit
nesscs often were impressed by a
quill twirled in time with the legal
twitch of the eyebrows.
The last quill pens have been re-
moved from the court and cheaper
steel pens substituted.
