Gigantic Size of Ocean Deeps Makes Grand Canyon Appear of Insignificant Importance
Washington, Nov. 10 — Mysteryra many miles before the ocean's surface may be revealed to mankind soon if great co-operative plan just proposed by the International Geodetic Institute takes its expected practical turn.
Scientists of 25 nations, meeting at Punta Cana, have passed resolutions accepting a reintroduction of a representative study of "ocean deserts," according to the United States Coast and Marine Agency.
"Ocean deep," or "ocean canyon," are known to scientists as the "earth's last frontier," because man might be able to learn more matters which to any degree of accuracy could measure their vantage. Even a visualization of the Grand Canyon is an example of insignificance when compared with the gigantic size of the ocean canyon. A one mile deep and some 10 miles wide one mile deep and some 10 miles wide while the "deepest" at times are at least three miles below the ocean's surface and a scarce or so miles in breadth.
Among the best known "coast canyons" are one on the west coast of Mexico, stretching some 40 miles wide and extending to about 120 miles long; one off the Aleutian Islands of southeastern Alaska; one off the coast of Java, recently explored to some extent by the Dutch government; and two in the caverns courts of James and the Philippines.
Scientists have labored under handicaps in their efforts to explore the oceanic environment, and are impossible to submerge into the treacherous water depths because the pressure would crush the shell of a rock. Scientists have bared an oak shell crumbled in the
hand. The usual procedure has been to make soundings by means of loads attached to heavy piano wire. However, to let out some six miles of wire from the piano, you must protect it to be a task, taking ordinarily at least an hour's time. Moreover, hundreds of soundings must be taken in this laborious fashion in a limited area before scientists may gain access to the soundings for the "deer" configuration.
Flagstaff, Ark., Nov. 8.-Depends the excitement it entertains but summer when it causes within 4,000,000 miles of the earth, closer than any airplane. Congress had the distinction of possessing the smallest nucleus that has ever been observed in such a body. Probably it was not more than two or three inches in diameter. This one was discovered by the Lawell observatory here.
Fortunately, a sounding device developed recently has given promise that knowledge of these "deeps" soon will be more than a decade old, now being called by the United States Coast and Geological Survey in its work. It operates on the "echo principle," based on the fact that sound waves travel at the rate being known, the machine makes it possible to compute the depth. Thus thousands of soundings may be taken in a comparatively short time to ship it moving ahead at full speed.
Comet Viewed Last Summer Distinguished as Possessing Small Nucleus of Two Miles
In conjunction with this method the old method still is used, primarily for studying deep sea up specimens of the ocean's bottom, revealing the character of the crustal
Seasonal believe an extensive international co-operative study of "coast canyons" might reveal important information on three-fourth of which have their origin in the sea. In this respect, a particularly fertile source is the coastal geology of earthquake-swept Danar. There is the possibility, moreover, that some undersea volcanoes, unknown to light. Again, while no definite attempt is planned for the study of undersea volcanoes, may be disbent.
Doctor Slipher took advantage of the close visit of Pam Winnielea in watch it carefully with the observatory and watched it take place with a lens two feet in diameter. He had, he says, the best opportunity in years to make a measurement of the distance between objects of which is supposed to supply the rest of its material. On most occasions she was found to be perfectly sterile, i.e. very small and sharp. At such times "it was possible to distinguish molecules from stars only."
Even through the highest power telescope a star as a point of light. First it would be called a nucleus medium with highly bright stars. Then he took stars of similar brightness in another part of the universe, and placed them on top of each other paired them with the large moons of that planet. As the stars, and disks, grew larger, it was known, it was thus possible to estimate the size of the nucleus. Its distances from the earth was also known, and it was found that
raunch approximation of its diameter This, he found, was not more than two or three miles.
Other studies of the comet were made by Doctor Slipper with the aid of a telescope. In this way, by analyzing its light, he found several very peculiar features. It has been supposed that they may get near the sun, but the studies of Doctor Slipper of Ponso Arrozo seems to contradict these views.
The spectrum showed very strongly the same dark bands that are revealed in the sun. This shows that the comet light consisted largely of reflected radiation from the star, but there appeared rather weakly the bands that are associated with cometary light. A spray of light which projected from the nucleus toward the sun gave off more light than own any other part of the comet.
Besides having its activity reduced by approach to the sun, Doctor Silpher believes that its close approach to the earth may have also reduced the comet's light as the light emanations from Hallel's comet were reduced as it approached the earth, and then became more intense as it drew away. Previously, it has been possible that Pona Winschel, despite its close approach to the sun, florence on the activity of comets coming near it, if this is the case, it would account for the fact that Pona Winschel, despite its close approach to the sun, florence on the activity of comets some astronomers had anticipated.
Pow-Wow Plans Complete
Nah-Nee-Num-Skuk, 118 Years Old. to Attend Celebration
Word was brought to Hasbell yesterday that Nae-Nee-Num-Nae-Shuk-118-year-old Indian from the Potto-watonic India reservation at Maynetn, would attend the Haskell Pew-Wow to be held on Nov. 11 and 12. In bringing this Indian to the celebration Haskell feels that it is in keeping with its policy of securing an increasing Indian character as possible.
Nah-Neh-Nah-Nah-Sluk was born on the shores of Num-Nah Lake Michigan on what is now part of Cleveland. His father, Jacob Sluk, a tribe, who remembered him as being before Kali-Kak, the 80-year-old tribe, who named the tribe, 2 years ago.
Haskell authorities have also been notified that several families of Klowa have left the reservation in October and are planning a day, Winnipesaukee from Wisconsin are on the way. The Pottawatomie Eagle dancers will appear in the parment to be given Friday night will be there tomorrow to be here for rehearsals.

"The most difficult mindful "fleshful" who have for some reason or other left their caps at sea this year will be as much a part of the group getting this reception as those who take them to the races and traditions of the school.
It is not quite two weeks until the newest students on the Hill can discard their little blue caps with blue yellow or red bottoms. But until that time, the freshman can wear riding helmet given its full power, Nichols declares.
