1908 and selling for the usual 10
cents, the navigational document
(ostensibly of the prevailing winds
for July in the Indian OCEAN, came
off the presses without announce
ment by the Navy Department and
with no bureaucratic fanfare.
But on the reverse side, the map
makers, like small children with
secrets they can no longer keep to
themselves, have poured out a
wealth of the oceans mysteries as
uncovered by the war.
Find 100 Flat Mountain Tops.
In brief, this is the revelation:
Between the Hawaiian Islands
and the Marianas more than a
hundred fat mountain tops have
been discovered rising above the
floor Of the ocean.
When it Is realized that the aver
age depth of the Pacific is $4,000
| feet and that some of these peaks
come within 600 feet of the surface
some idea of their magnitude can
be gained.
For nearly Is years the Hydro
graphic ONCE has been aware that
there are "lost lands" in all the
oceans of the world. e., the IA
bled Lost Atlantis - but it took
thousands of Navy ships with their
fathometers to prove it.
William Buell., jr, one of the ex-
pert photographers at the Hydro
graphic Office, said that the dis
coveries "are so absorbing and fas-
cinating" that he is afraid to pre-
dict their significance.
But the fact that some of the
submarine mountains have pla-
teaus 10 miles long indicates. he
says. that they were very likely
above the surface of the water at
one time, and gradually washed
fiat as they submerged.

man-that will have to await their
exploration by scientists with
oceanic equipment not yet de-
veloped.
Printed on the map, followed by
instructions for taking soundings,
are these imagination inspiring
words:
During the past century explora- :
tions OF the land areas of the earth
has progressed to a point where
there no longer are any larger fea-
lures left to find. Not so the floor
Of the oceans. Great depths and
majestic mountain ranges below sea
level, no doubt, remain undiscov-
cred. Scientists know comparatively
little about the sea floor SO that
even the recording of the less spec
tacular features is matter of in
terest and Importance.
OF less significance are the vol
canic islands which appear from
time to time in the Pacific and van
ish again. One small island of such
type was discovered of the coast
of Japan in February. and presum-
ably is still building up.
Look for Lost Continents.
It is rather to the vast under
water mountains just discovered tc
which scientists will look for clues
as to lost continents.
The Navy. Mr.. Buell. explained
has not gone in for similar research
as to the Atlantic Ocean floor, leav-
ing that for Great Britain.
But that ocean, soundings have
revealed, has mysteries equally COM
pelling and significant as the Pa
cific. For example, what is the
ridge which runs north and south
the length OF the ocean, some 1900
feet below the surface surrounded
on either side by depths from 5000
to $4,000 feet?
And what is the submarine can
yon which runs at least l26 miles
eastward from the mouth OF Chesa-
peake Bay?
Or, again in the Pacific, what
caused the greatest depth of any
ocean in the WORLDS, 400 feet, of
the Island of Mindanao in the Phil
ippines?
Some day this busy Navy office
at Suitland may print. unheralded
another pilot chart with a laconic
text which viii explain these mys-
teries.

Primary Is Proposed
Ito Select Nominee
To Fill Glass Term
BY the Associated Press

NlII1MoNb. va, June 1.-SGaGe
Senator E. Glenn Jordan of Rich
mond today asked the Attorney
General to rule on the legal method
OF choosing a Democratic nominee
for the unexpired term of the late
Senator Glass, while State Demo-
cratic Chairman Horace H. Edwards
asked party Executive Committee
members to suggest the earliest con-
venient date for meeting.
Senator Jordan, who said he felt
there should be a primary If any
legal basis exists, wrote letter to
Attorney General A. P. Staples ask
ing if nominee could be named
legally in the regular August 6
primary. If not then, he asked if q
special primary could be held, and
called on the Attorney General to
outline the method and cite the
authority by which the nomination
should be made in the event no
primary is possible.
Writes to Committee.
MI. Edwards wrote the 18 mem
bers Of the Democratic Executive
Committee-one man and one
woman from each congressional dis
trict-to get their views on the
earliest convenient date for a meet
Ing at Richmond to discuss prob
lens" arising from Senator Glass
death. He said he would call the
meeting at the time most convent
ent to majority of the members
These developments came as pros
pective candidates for the nomina-
ton watched with interest a contro-
versy over whether a primary OF
convention should be used to select
nominee. Mr.. Edwards previously
has said that nomination would be
by convention under a section OF
the Party Plan adopted in 1914.
Mr.. Jordan's letter Is due to reach
the attorney general on Monday.
Legality is Issue.
Representatives Robertson of the
7th District and Smith, of the 9th
District, who are. expected to seek
the nomination, joined Mr.. Edwards
in expressing belief that the conven-
ton Is now the only legal method
but did not offer any preference
Martin Hutchinson, Richmond law
yer, who is running for the seat now
held by Senator Byrd In the regular
primary, has said there Is sufficient
authority for primary to choose
Democratic nominee for the Glass
term.
C. O'Conor Goolrick, former State
senator from Fredericksburg, ex-
pressed preference for a primary but
said a1e did not know whether it
would be legal.
Mr.. Goolrick is also a prospective
candidate to succeed Senator Glass
for the term extending through
1S48. In a statement yesterday he
doomed former Gov. Darden, as the
logical man for the position but
said he might run" If Mr.. Darden
didn't.
Darden Repeats Opposition.
Reached at the home of his wife's
parents in Delaware, Mr.. Darden
repeated statements of the past
several months that he did not de-
sire to re-enter the political arena
for the Senate or any other of1ice.
He is State manager of the cam
paign for denomination Of Senator
Byrd and expects to canvass the
State for him.
Prospective candidates are ex-
pected to withhold their definite an
nouncements for several more days
pending the opinion Of the attorney
general and the meeting OF the
State Executive Committee, which
might be held next week end.

Two Floors DESTROYED
As 1wo-AIarm glaze
Sweeps Noonan House

A two-alarm fire ragged through
the upper floors of historic Noonan
House, 1854 Higland place NV, at
aabout pm. yesterday. destroying
several rooms and an undetermined
amount of furniture and antiques.
The home is the property of Mrs.
John j. Noonan. wife of the late
prominent Washingtonian and civic
leader, who planned to move into it
in a few weeks.
Her daughter, Mrs. Louise Noonan,
said the former tenant was to va
cate by June l. and that her family
apparently had left the residence
before the fire broke out.
Two Floors Swept.
Firemen said the blaze had raZed
the third and fourth floors of the
house by the time they arrived, and
they were unable to check the fire
before it spread to the lower floors
AS much of the furniture as passible
was removed to the garden, and a
number Of other pieces were covered
with canvas.
Streams OF water from fire hoses
however, still coursed down walls
and through room ceilings to food
the lower rooms long after the
flames were extinguished.
When Mrs. Miller arrived, firemen
escorted her through the charred
rooms to inspect the damage. For
tunately, I've already removed the
most valuable furnishings" she said,
but there are several pieces, in
Guiding a Louis Quinze buffet, that
I'd certainly hate to lose" A large
oil landscape painting Mrs. Miller
said had been given her by Gen.
Paul Watson was streaked by the
streams of water.
Mrs. Miller broke into tears as
she saw smoke pouring from win
dows of room she said had belong
ed to her son, Raymond, who. was
killed In Italy during the war.
Sold Former Home.
What makes this worse is that
I have sold my home on o street
and architects were to inspect this
house tomorrow" she said after
surveying the damage. Mrs. Miller
said she didn't know whether it will
be repaired. There doesn't seem
to be very much left" she added.
The fire was discovered and re-
ported by 17-year-old Robert
Tooney. of 3135 Highland place. A
friend of the family. Robert said he
was passing by when he noticed
smoke curling from an upstairs win
dow.
II tried the front door and found
1t open so I went inside and saw
the flames" he said. Il started to
open windows and sent my brother
to turn in the alarm" He added
that no one was in the house when
he entered it.
Queens Brother Lived There.
Mrs. Miller said her family had
lived in the house until 1912. First
tenant at that time was David
Bowes-Lyons, brother of the Queen
of England, who lived there for
about two years. The house has
about Is rooms and was one of the
showplaces of its area. One of its
attractive features was water piped
through number of small lakes
in its stable garden.
