U. s. Finds New Mountain
S,400 Feet High in Pacific

Discovery of a new mountain
was announced by the Govern
ment yesterday.
Although it's 8,400 feet high. a
person would have to go down
1890 feet to stand on It's peak.
The mountain is under that much
Pacific Ocean water, and weIl off
the coast of the United States.
The discovery was announced by
the Coast and Geodetic Surveys
director, Rear Admiral Leo Otis
Colbert.
A survey ship, The Explorer,
discovered it September 26 while
returning to Seattle from a sea-
son of work in the Aleutian
Islands. Announcement was with
held until recorded data could be
verified.
A "supersonic depth recorder" !"
known as a fathogram, turned up
the hiden peak. It hasn't got a
name yet. It's position is about
400 nautical miles southwest Of
the Queen Charlotte Islands,
which themselves lie off British
Columbia, almost directly south
Of Ketchikan, Alaska.

anxious residents.
The first report shortly before

No further information was avail
able.
Three police cruisers and a mo-
torcycle policeman secured the
area for nearly an hour and ques-
toned residents, but were unable
to find anything.
About a half hour after they
returned. a report OF another ex-
plosion came in-this time from
the King Street hill area on the
opposite side OF the city.
Doubling their search party,
police dispatched six cruisers and
two motorcycle policemen. But,

and at Boiling Air Base and the

noise. the door opened from the
top. BY jerks it dropped until the
iron wheels hit the marble floor.
Then it was rolled away. The
threshold was washed with holy
water.
Final Prayers Recited.
Standing beside his throne, the
pontif recited the final prayers
and then walked to the open door,

cushion, with a lighted candle in
one hand and a gilded cross in the
other, he began chanting the
TIE Deum. After the first verse,
he rose and entered the Basilica.
About 100000 pilgrims. in
cluding Italians, are expected to
follow him across the threshold
before the jubilee closes next
Christmas eve. Nearly 100000
foreigners, including at least 49,

patriarchial Basilicas of St.

Problems of Conversion.

|verted, is just as potent as
uranium, totally converted.
Problems of Conversion.
The only problems are those
Iof conversion. These always
have been. and still are, quite
difficult.
When uranium fission was dis
covered in Germany in 1938-it
was first made known to the world
in the United States in 1889 but
actually there had been no at
tempt at secrecy at any time
it was realized that a much more
effective means had been found
of converting mass to energy.
1t was, in fact, somewhat less
than a hundred million times
more effective. Almost l per cent
of the mass involved became
energy.
The figures are quite fantastic.
Going back to the basic equation,
the square of the speed of light
in centimeters per second is
roughly 727.000, ,00O, 600. 900 .000.-
900. The total conversion Of one
gram of anything would result
in that number of ergs Of energy
a very sizable amount even if one
considers that it requires 36.000.-
000, 200, 900 ergs to make one kilo-
watt hour.
There has never been. however,
any approach to total conversion
Of mass to energy. The best
achieved in the uranium bomb
was. according to the Smyth re-
port. somewhat less than l per
cent. The actual figure is. of
course. one Of the most closely
guarded secrets of the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Even this was possible only
through a fortunate accident Of
nature in making the atomic nu-
cleus of one rare form of uranium
highly unstable.
1t is quite probable that this
conversion mass has been increased
in five years. Techniques have
been evolved by which it may have
been doubled, or tripled.
It could not be increased more
than a hundred-fold, or science
would be making something out of
nothing.
Natures absolute limit always
will remain 727,000, 900, 900 ,000,-
100000 ergs of energy per gram of
matter.
Theoretically there are more ef-
ficient nuclear fuels than uranium,
but nature wisely did not provide
any easy means of converting
them.
