(Ag. Havas) HOW FAST CAN A MAN FALL ? The United States War Department has shattered the popular belief that a person falling from a great altitude will be killed or rendered unconscious before reaching the earth. Experiments at Wright Field have proved that regardless of attitude to a man with a parachute pack never attains a greater velocity than 120 miles an hour
never attains a greater velocity than 120 miles an hour at that he does not lose consciousness. A dummy of the size and weight of a 180-pound man with a service parachute attached, but unopened, attained a velocity of 120 miles an hour in a period of seven seconds, and after falling 1,200 feet in quiet air, no increase in speed was noted. SPEED MADE BY COLUMBUS Columbus in 1492 sailed from Spain (Palos) to the Gulf of Mexico in 70 days, Aug. 3 to Oct. 12. His second voyage in 1493 from Cadiz to Dominica in the West Indies
in 1493 from Cadiz to Dominica in the West Indies (Sept. 6 to Nov. 3) was made in 40 days. His third, to Trinidad, (May 30 to July 31) in 1497 took 62 days while his fourth and final voyage to Honduras in 1502 (May-July) required about 62 days. Since Columbus used sailing vessels, comparison with the speed of modern steamships is unfair. However, we can compare his achievement with that of the three-masted schooner, Emma, which sailed from Montauk Point, N.Y., to Lands End, England, in 10 days 21 hours. This took place in the Spring of 1932. DEPTH
hours. This took place in the Spring of 1932. DEPTH OF THE SEAS According to estimates that allow little possibility of error, the average depth of the seas ranges from 11,000 to 13,000 feet. These figures are enormous, when we consider that the average height of hills and mountains is 2,500 feet. The total volume of ocean water is about 1,300 million cubic kilometers, a figure so great that it surpasses our powers of conceiving it. For example, if a river flowed into a gigantic basin at the rate of a cubic kilometer per minute, and if it had been
a cubic kilometer per minute, and if it had been doing this since the birth of Christ, it would not yet have attained the volume of water now in the oceans. To do this, the Seine river, which has an outflow of 150,000 cubic meters per minute, would require 150 million years; the Chesapeake, even more. COLOR OF SEA WATER Viewed from a high position, the sea looks like a highly colored carpet, the color varying with the sea. For example, the Mediterranean and tropical seas are blue, the North Sea is ochre, and the English Channel is greenish. There
Sea is ochre, and the English Channel is greenish. There are also the Red Sea and the Yellow Sea, so-called because they are of those colors. Often the color changes in the same sea so that it is impossible to say exactly that a sea is entirely of this or that color. For a long time it was thought that sea water had a color itself, but experiments by Lord Rayleigh with Mediterranean and tropical waters proved that the color of the water was nothing but the color of the sky reflected on the water. The blue of the Mediterranean
sky reflected on the water. The blue of the Mediterranean is but the pure blue of the sky. When the sky is overcast, the Mediterranean becomes grayish, sometimes approaching black.
