Putsch for Raisins
Blu Frank Sullivan

The time has come when it
is no longer a virtue to re-
main silent about the raisin.
A year ago I had thought this
unattractive fruit was on the
wane and might of it's own
accord go the way of the dodo
and the roc. In that case the
increasingly large bloc of raisin
haters would have been saved
the trouble of putting the
raisin out of business, but
apparently we raisin haters will
have to take action. For this
fall the raisin is still around,
and more in evidence than
ever. 1t can be had at any
grocery.

the deepest point in the Mindanao Deep, and
likewise the deepest hole thus far recorded in
the oceans floor is 35, ,4o1 feet. or almost six
nautical miles "a nautical mile Is about
seventh longer than a statute mile). Thus we
have q difference Of some $4,000 feet, which
is so per cent greater than the height Of the
lofty Mount Everest.
In other words; If it were suddenly possible
to dry up the ocean at this point, 1t would
be $4,000 feet, or almost nine statute miles
from the bottom Of this gigantic trough to the
top of Mount Apo on the coast, which would be
in sight during clear weather. Moreover, the
extent of the Mindanao Deep is roughly 500
miles, running parallel to the coast Of the
nearby island.
At its central point tie Mares Deep Is about
70 miles north of Puerto Rico, extends about
180 miles In an east-west direction with an
average width Of 40 miles and Is roughly paral-
lei with the mountains on the coast Of Puerto
Rico. The Mares Deep is particularly note
worthy for the fact that it contains the deepest
hole in the North Atlantic a depth of 27,s72
feet, having been recorded by the Navy vessel
U. S. S. Dolphin some years ago.
Larger even than the Mares Deep Is the
Bartlett Deep, lying 240 miles south Of Cuba
and 200 miles directly west of Jamaica 1t Is
about $50 miles long, has an average width Of
40 miles, maximum depth of 3206 fathoms
and runs in an east-west direction almost
parallel to the mountain systems of Cuba and
Jamaica.
But for sheer length, take note Of the ocean
deep of the coast of Mexico Starting few
miles of the coast of Costa Rica, it stretches
TOO miles along the coast to the coast of
Tehauntepec, then extends for yet another
TOO miles to Cape CorrienteS, just South OF
Lower California Its deepest point thus far
recorded Is 3,548 fathoms or a little over ga
miles.
Two Of the most mysterious deeps on record
are the Aleutian Deep and the Tuscarora Deep.
The first is located about 80 miles south
of the Aleutian Islands, off the coast of Alaska,
in a region Of many active volcanoes. Never
has this great oceanic bath tub" been mapped
thoroughly. Not many years ago japanese
survey ship managed to drop heavily weighted
wire to 32644 feet without striking bottom.
This fact by no means indicates that they could
not reach bottom in this region, but rather
that some accident happened to their sounding
wire that made it impossible to continue at
the time. However, scientists believe that the
Tuscarora Deep Is at least go miles long with
an indeterminate width and depth.
Aside from the great ocean deeps scientists
Of many nations are interested In two
other outstanding freaks Of the ocean, the
Evening star., 1934-11-18

Sulu Sea and the Tongue of the Ocean" The
Sulu Sea is in the southern portion of the
chain Of Philippine Islands, bordered on three
sides by the Philippine Islands and by Borneo
on the fourth side. In shape it is roughly
rectangular, lying in northeast and south
east direction with a length Of $50 miles and
q width Of 230 miles, and its western half has
an average depth of 1,1oo fathoms and the
eastern portion an average depth Of 2200
fathoms
In at least important respect the Sulu
Sea is quite unlike other bodies Of water. This
is in the matter Of temperature. 1t is a well
known fact that although water temperatures
Of oceans vary on their surface according to
the temperatures of the surrounding air, at
depths below 500 fathoms there Is only q diff
ference Of few degrees between the so-called
"warm-water' regions and the "cold-water"
districts.
Sea water the world over. then. is universally
Evening star., 1934-11-18

cold at the bottom. But not IN the Su1u
Sea. 1t is from top to bottom, ranging
from temperature Of SO degrees at the surface
to some So degrees at the bottom. This con-
dition, scientists say, may be due to the fact
that the Sulu Sea is inclosed entirely by shallow
water, indeed has no deep water entrance
whatever, thereby preventing cold water from
flowing in.
Did you ever hear Of the Tongue Of the
Ocean? Well, 1t is very aptly named, being
q vast tongue-sheped body of water, located
among the Bahama Islands In the West Indies.
Stretching some l20 nautical miles long and
25 miles wide its most interesting feature Is
the fact that the tongue is not gradually
deepening hole in the midst of shallow water, -
but is q stretch of deep water with depths Or
700 to 800 fathoms extending directly up to
a coral bank where the average depth is only
10 to 20 feet. This great tongue differs from
the Sulu Sea in yet another respect that It
has q deep-water opening of about 80 miles
width and depth Of 1000 fathonls ct its
mouth.
How would you like to try to measure one
of the great ocean deeps? To realize the
magnitude Of the task, imagine o man with
tape line trying to map the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado, that immense gorge which
ranges in width from to Is miles, extends a
distance Of about 280 miles and whose greatest
depth lies more than a mile below its rim.
Yet the Grand Canyon is only q dot on the
landscape compared with some of the ocean
deeps, particularly the one off the coast OF
Mexico, already mentioned, which stretches
400 miles all told and cuts a "hole" into
the sea Of about 31a miles.
How then you may well ask, do the worlds
scientists including those of your Uncle Samuel,
accomplish the gigantic task OF mapping the
mammoth freaks in the oceans floor? One Of
the best known systems is the wire method
of deep-sea sounding which utilizes an electric
motor to reel out and in a piano wire of tre-
mendous strength. The amount Of wire used
varies from 5000 to 5000 fathoms. To a large
caSt-iron shot, used for weight detachinS-
rod is fastened so that when the rod strikes
bottom the shot is released automatically and
picks up a sample of the gravel or sand on the
oceans bottom.
Because of its weight-65 to 100 pounds-the
shot is left ON the bottom once the sounding
has been made. Quite an expensive procedure,
particularly when it is realized that often times
to map a single ocean deep some hundreds of
shots must be literally thrown away" in this
fashion.
I Usually near the shot there is located
~ reversing Thermometer so arranged, the
name suggests, that when the wire is reeled in
the thermometer reverses. with the result that
when it reaches the surface the ocean sur
veyors" have a record of the exact bottom
temperature Summing up, this single sounding
operation gives the depth of the water, small
sample of the bottom and the bottom
temperature.
All this may sound simple but It Is anythna
but that. Before the actual sounding is taken
the ship is stopped and headed into the winf,
where the shot and thermometer are attached

- TRANCE and numerous are the freaks"
on the oceans floor, located from time
to time by the ocean surveyors" Of
many nations, armed with unique IN
strumentS and able to map Davy Jones'
locker from Alaska's snow bound shores
to Hawaii's picturesque coasts.
Giant mountains and valleys of the sea which
stretch from handful Of miles to hundreds
Of miles in length and breadth and sometimes
over miles in depth; mysterious bodies of
water with queer habits that seem to follow no
established rules Of science. Such are few
Of Father Neptune's odd stepchildren.
Where are these ocean freaks what are their
possible causes and how and why is Uncle Sam
so much interested in their curious conforma-
ton?
Not so long ago scientists Of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey found hitherto
unknown valley or underwater landmark" off
the New England Coast. 1t stretches miles
wide, miles long and 300 fathoms below the
general level Of the continental shelf accord
ing to the findings uncovered in the course of
a photographic survey Of our Government
which covered some 5000 square miles Of sea-
There is good reason to believe, Federal
ocean surveyors point out, that this great
underseas valley Is part of an ancient river
bed which existed in a remote geological epoch.
But its discovery has tremendous practical i'm
portance to Americas shipping and fishing
interests Tor the very gOOU reason tildt II IL
right in the path of the westbound trans-At-
lantic steamship lane between Europe and the
United States. Which means that when prop
erly chartered, the valley may be used to ad-
vantage by sea-going ships to locate their posi-
tions with regard to their ultimate destination.
OF FAR greater size and even stranger shape
~ are what are known the ocean deeps."
These mammoth-scale troughs or "holes" in
the sea have always been the subject of sciences
inquisitive eye for they commonly are found
in regions notorious as breeding places for
earthquakes.
Two "deeps" in particular because they are
near American territory, interest Uncle Sans
scientists. These are the Mindanao Deep and
the Mares Deep. The first is located in
north and south direction approximately As
miles off the coast Of Mindanao, the second
largest and most southerly island of the Phil
Ipine group. Here mother nature has achieved
one of the most astonishing and most sudden
changes Of elevation in the entire globe. Bear
in mind that the mountains Of the nearby
coast rise to height of some 5000 feet. while
