NAVY WILL GATHER
EARTHQUAKE DATA
Temblor Danger to Proposed Mica
ragua Canal Is Seen Need
for Survey.

Important data concerning Central
American earthquakes and the posi-
bility of temblorS affecting the proposed
canal across Nicaragua may be gathered
by the Navy Photographic once as a
result Of survey next Winter of the
great Bartlett Deep In the Caribbean
Sea.
The Bartlett Deep, lying between the
Bay OF Honduras and Guantanamo,
Cuba, is believed by biologists to be an
earthquake center, it was said today at
the Navy Department.
huge trough in the bottom of the
Caribbean, several hundred miles long,
so TO so miles wide and of uncertain
depth, is believed to be the missing
link in the calculations of biologists
seeking light on such earthquakes as
that at Managua last March.
Because OF the magnitude of the lob.
the photographic Office Is considering
requesting the use of a pair of de-
Stroyers. These are considerably faster
than the photographic survey craft and
could do the work in fraction of the
time.
With complete data available. gsolo-
giSts may be able to verify or refute
the theory that large lakes, which make
up an important part Of the suggested
canal, could be drained through SUBJ
tsrranean channels by earthquakes.
