Building Boots
Upside-Down

A AANY a time-saving wrin-
M kle is coming out of this
W. war and one of the latest
is the trick of building boats
faster-upside-down.
The craft that can now be
turned out at the rate of a ship
per week-instead Of one every
six Weeks=are Navy patrol boats
173 feet long.
BY using such a revolutionary
method, the boats plates are
welded while it is in the reverse
position. This can be done more
easily than when the vessel is
upright. The ship is then turned
right side up, the deck is put on
and shortly afterwards it slides
down the ways into the water.
The reverse method that works
so we'll on the small type vessels
have not as yet been tried out on
larger boats.

Record Soundings Made

Prepared by National Geographic Society.
Washington, d. C.-WNU Service.
The recent discovery of a new
and greater depth in the Allan
tic ocean, establishing a new
record of nearly FIVE and a half
miles (28,680 feet), north OF
Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, has
called attention to efforts now
being made to make complete
contour maps of portions OF the
bottom of the ocean. The new
depression has been named the
Milwaukee Deep, from the
United States cruiser from
which the record sounding
was made.
"The oceans have been
carefully charted near GER
tain land masses for naviga-
ton purposes for centuries, but it
has been only in the past 80 years
that soundings have been made ex-
tensively in efforts to chart the floor

the Atlantic is at least $500 feet
deep, and over half is $4,000 feet
deep.
The Pacific has more great depths
than any other ocean, according to
the records of the photographic Of
fee of the navy department, which
show eight in excess of $4,000 feet.
The deepest hole in the Pacific is
35, 400 feet, just northeast of Min
danao of the Philippine islands.
This is the greatest recorded ocean
depth in the world. The record
in the South Pacific ocean is 30,930
feet; North Atlantic, the new Mil
waukee deep, 28,68O feet; Southern
Atlantic, 26,575 feet; Indian ocean,
22,968 feet. A sounding of 1880
feet is recorded in the Arctic ocean,
and one of 14,274 feet near the Ant
arctic continent Tin the South Pa
cifc).
Scientists admit there is still much
work to be done but look forward
to the time when deep soundings
will be sufficient to chart all the
mountains and the valleys on the
ocean fioors-the "epeirogeny" as
oceanographers call it. Some vi
sionaries of the Jules Verne type
look forward to the time when great
window-walled submarines with
powerful searchlights will carry
photographers and tourists on ex-
tended trips into the depths.

Great Changes Seen.
The comparative shallowness of
the sea in many places has been
vividly suggested in the great
changes that would be made in the
boundaries of countries and cont
nents were the surface of the ocean
to sink only 600 feet, little more
than the height of the Washington
monument. Ireland would then be
joined to England, except for
the North channel. England in turn
would become part of the main
land of Europe, the water of the
English channel having run out. A
strip 1,500 miles wide would con-
meet North America with Asia. New
Guinea would become part of Aus
tralia.
The broadest ocean surfaces are
in the Southern hemisphere, but
north of the Equator occur the
greatest submarine upheavals, de-
forming the bottoms of the Carib-
bean sea, and the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans, in a broad expanse
from the latitude of the Panama
canal to that of Philadelphia. In
these regions, especially in the Pa
cifc, vast plains and plateaus, tall
peaks and deep canyons form an
other world. In the shallower por-
tions ocean currents are the breezes

Ocean Echoes Depth.
More progress has been made in
recent years through new measur-
ing methods. For years measure
ments had been made by the slow
procedure of dropping plummet
suspended by a piano wire. To
make even one sounding in $4,000
feet of water, required stopping the
ship for an hour. Today, delicate
instruments measure the time it
takes the echo of a sound at the
seas surface to return from the
bottom, thus measuring the distance
by the speed of sound. This can
now be done while a ship is moving
rapidly and many commercial YES
sells, equipped with the sonic meas
uring devices are speeding the
work.
Sound travels almost five times
as fast in water as in the air, so
that the speed under water is close
to mile second, thus indicating
the delicate accuracy with which
the time of the retuSning echo must
be recorded. The problem is com
plicated by the fact that the speed
of sound in water varies with the
amount of salt in the water, it's tenn
