depths of 10 fathoms. The scientific
research department of the French
navy is now engaged in the perfec-
ton of sounding apparatus based on
this principle.
I'm greater depths, for the last year,
we have been using an acoustic sound
ing instrument devised by an officer in
my service, which employs the sound
made by detonation.'
On the subject of the phenomenal
method of undersea communication,
the Italian photographer writes:
This Office is aware of the Difficult
ties formerly experienced in taking
soundings by indications of a manom-
eter These difficulties may be con-
densed into the fact that the inflow
of water into the tube which is drag
ging along the bottom is not constant.
For this reason it is difficult to sep
arate the increase of the. pressure of
the air in the tube from that caused
by the vertical column of water which
flows into the tube and. assists to form
the pressure at the end thereof.
1T is known the the difficulty has
been overcome already by the German
navy by introducing special apparatus
consisting of capillary tube which
has, near its open end. an air reser-
voir. Specimens of this apparatus
were found in the ships which be-
longed to that navy, and one of them
is in possession of this Office at the
present time

I F. SIRKS, an engineer under the
auspices of the Nautical Insti-
tute and Museum at Rotterdam, de-
scribes the Behm depth indicator as
follows:
THE instrument serves to measure
the depth of the sea by sound, viz, by
observing the difference in time be-
tween the detonation of a sound signal
and the return of the echo from the
sea bottom. The whole instrument
can be worked from the bridge Of a
vessel and consists of rife, loaded
with detonator signal. two micro
phones fitted, below the water line, to
the side of the ship, and a recorder

the side of the ship above the water
line, and can be loaded from the bridge
by a pneumatic tube and fired by
electric contact.

Follow Up Play
Won for Badgers
DALI
BY SOL METER.

Two men for every rebound shot
is the rule with practically all
basket ball teams, and Wisconsin
not long ago won q Western Con-
ference championship by applying
the rule to the extent Of having a
short forward do the long shoot
ing and two tall men handle the
rebounds.
Most baskets are made from
close up. and there is no better
opportunity presented in the game
for close up shots than those that
follow an attempted basket. The
ball usually rebounds near the
basket. Instinctively. players will
watch such a ball in flight. That
Is the time to make hay. Have
two players, tall ones preferably,
rush forward to take the rebounds
near the basket and be in a fine
position to cage them.
The main thing for a team to
watch on rebound shots Is to avoid
confusion under the basket and to
time their jumps properly. When
two go forward there must be a
distinct understanding between
them as to which one is to handle
each rebound. They must also be
schooled In the. timing Of their
jumps. Green players will start
their jump for the rebound when
the ball hits the rim Of the basket.
That's too soon, as the player who
does it will be descending when ne
secures the ball. Much attention
must be given rebound play by
every team, as it offers so many
golden chances to score.
