NOTABLE VOYAGE
OF THE ALBATROSS
Discoveries Made in Pacific Waters
Which. Will Necessitate Numerous
Changes in Existing: Maps.
S.111 I'l.iuii-io Coliespondeiicp In Pldcco lteeor.1.
One of the most successful voyages
over made by a. XTntted States vessel
for hclentllie put poses has just been
completed by the steamer Albatross,
after a cruise of fourteen months in
the southern Pacific, along the eastern
coast of Asia and In the Bering- sea.
Scientists who are conversant with
the difficulties attending any attempt
to extend explorations in'o entltelv
new fields of research connected with
the sea regard the oyige of the Al
batross as of greatest consauenco.
The voyage will prove most valuable
to navigators. The stiictly scientific
methods of tho expadition led to the
remarkable discovery That the charts
of many of the Islands in the southern
sens are entirely untrustwoithy. It is
now believed that their Inaccuracy has
probably led to tho larsJ number of
wrecks which have occurred In those
waters. Most of the Islands of the
P.iumotu group, as well as those of
Ellice, Marshall ami Caroline groups,
were so Inaccurately vhnrtcd that the
chart was a positive hindrance to safe
navigation, many of the Islands being
as far as twenty and thirty miles from
the boundaries reptesented on the
charts. The Investigations of the Al
batross ioem to show that hundieds
of the Islands had been hastily
sketched by sou captains in connection
with their casual voyages In those
waters, but never accurately located
and properly represented on the charts.
The two exceptions to this general con
dition ate the Fiji gioup, owned by
lit eat Britain, and the Tahiti group,
belonging to France. All the Islands
of the mlsehartetl groups were located
with mathematical precision by the
crew of the Albatross, and from the
sketches made on the ground entirely
new navigators' charts were prepared
by the government and distributed to
all the nations of the world.
Another result of the voyage that Is
of great value to navigators and lo
those who Intrust their lives to them
was the discovery of a bank In the
middle of the JJcrlng sea at u point
where the charts show a denth ot
i.000 fathoms. Tho soundings showed
that this bank is ton miles long and
I rom 11 half mile to a mile In width.
It lies at a safe distance beneath the
surface, but the knowledge of its ex
istence ulll enable navigators to make
soundings in that part of the ocean
when they wish to determine their
hearings in cloudy weather. Foi- long
periods the sky Is overcast In those
latitudes, and the usual solar or astral
observations at 0 Impossible. The
knowledge thai there Is a subnicrireil
bank l00 fathoms below the surface In
latitude 45 deg. 30 mln. north and In
longitude lTfl deg. .10 mln. east will en
able confused captains on taking
soundings to dlieet their course wjth
safety.
Ou th.s expedition the world's record
for deep sea net dragging was In
creased i,l'00 fathoms. The gteatest
depth ever pieviously attained was
that reached by tho British scientific
deep-sea exploration steamer Chal
lenger, between 1S73 and 1S70, when she
drew up material from u depth of 3,000
fathoms. This was thought to be 11
feat that could never bo surpassed, but
tn Albatross reached tho enormous
depth of more than live miles, exceed
ing that of thu ChalleiiEor by more
than a mile. From this great depth
the Albatross drew up specimens of
low forms of sponge life adhering to
pumice stone, showing the bottom to
be of volcanic lock.
Tho lesults of tho expcilmoul.s made
to ascertain deep-sea pressure were re
markable. A hollow glass globe eight
ineiies in diameter, with walls half 1111
inch thick, was kpiu down empty. After
reaching u depth of U',O0O fuiit 11 was
drawn to tho mil face and found to be
throe-fourths full of water. Tho water
had been forced through the smooth,
thick, llawless glims. This glass, with
Its sealed contents, will he preserved
at Washington as a souvenir of the ex
pedition. A bottle of wine lowered to
cool It came, up with tho cork forced
into the bottle und the contents spoiled,
That shrimps Inhabit great sea depths
was first diseoyeiod on tills expedition,
Shrimps of Infinite variety were
biought up from depths varying from a
t'uw yards to 15,000 feet. They runsed
from little ones not more than half
an Inch In length to shrimps a foot
lonir, and all weto found to bo edible.
They were found wheiover the nets
weie lowered in the outh sea mid off
tho southern coast of Japan. That
shrimps could be found at greut
depths came ns a real surprise to llu
scientists on the Albatross, for on the
California coast, where the Chinese
catch about $225,000 worth of shrimps
umiuully for domestic and otieutul
A Merry
Jonas
marlv-l.s. the big nets urcMowcied to
the cVpth of only twenty or thirty
feet, and it was supposed that this
was the limit at which they could he
found.
The discovery that the sea at the
depth of 2,000 fathoms has a uniform
temperature of o"3 degrees, or only
about tluee degrees above freezing,
was another of the Important lesults
of this expedition. Fouuer deep-sea
soundings had shown practically a uni
form temperature over small areas, but
It was thought that latitude and ocean
currents would affect the temperature.
The soundings of the Albatross, how
ever, show that whether In tropical or
arctic legions, and whether on the sur
face the sea Is cold or warm, at the
depth of 12,000 Tfet the temperature is
absolutely uniform.
TIME TO BEGIN.
How the Duchess of York Got Bid of
a Vexatious Bore.
The Duchess of York is fond of lead
ing novels, says a London correspond
ent. Recently, when she was a guest
at a "great house" In the south of Eng
land, she wpnt lo the library early one
morning to finish a novel in which she
was deeply Interested. A busybody dls
coveied her and began annoying her by
unsolicited rematks.
"Do you know," said the distill her,
not at till abashed by the mouosvlht
billc answers of the duchess, "that you
really surpiise um when you tell me
that you are fond of reading novels?
For iny part I am never so happy u.s
when I am reading something elevat
ing, ns you might say. Biowning's
poems, for Instance, carry me com
pletely itw.iy when 1 once commence
reading them."
"Indeed," quletlyyct frigidly leturned
the duchess. "I wish, then, you would
begin leading them now."
