HE deep-sea cables are among the most wonder ful things in the world; they connect lands thou sands of miles apart, and form a network around the whole world ; but to understand how they are laid, and all about them, it is necessary for you to know something about the deep sea itself. Most people think that the botton of the sea is just a great flat plain, but this is not so at all. If you could strip away the ocean, and leave the bottom of.it dry, you would see a country that would astonish you, and maybe terrify you, too, on account of its wildness and the deep-sea lead. If we take a sound ing with the deep-sea lead in any part of the sea, and find a depth of, say one thousand fathoms (two thou! sand yards), and if we take a sounding a little further on, and 'find only a depth of twenty fathoms, we know that the bottom of the sea rises towards the sur face in that distance; in other words, there is a mountain under the lea just there. Conversely, the lead tells us the depths of the valleys. Years ago a ship called the Challenger was sent out to explore the depths of the sea; it was the first great deep-sea ex pedition, and the most important. Since then the work has gone on without ceasing, an,d the result is that we now have maps of the bottoms of all the "I LOVE ALL MY DOLLIES !" I love all my dollies Love them much the same desolation. You would fee vast plains of ooze, plains where no trees grow and no flocks wander ; you would see ranges of great desolate mountains ; you would see valleys, some of them far deeper than any valleys we see upon the earth. Some of the mountains at the bottom of the sea are so vast that their tops ap pear above the water in the form of islands. The Canary Islands are simply the. tops of a great submarine mountain range; so are the Cape Verde Islands, and the islands of Ascension and St. Helena. But there are numerous mountains and mountain ranges under the sea whose tops do not appear above the surface. How, then, you may ask do we know of their existence? Simply by the use of But there's one I love the besteat; And Polly Is her name. great oceans almostas complete as our maps of the land. On the Challenger chart every sound ing more than three miles in depth is marked as a "deep". Each of these "deeps" is a great valley or depression in the sea's floor. Forty-three of them are known, twenty-four in the Pacific Ocean, three in the Indian Ocean, fif teen in the Atlantic, and one in the Ant arctic Ocean. Three of these valleys arc more than five miles in depth. Just off the coast of Japan occurs perhaps the greatest of them, the Tuscarera deep. If the water were suddenly stripped a way here, and you and I were walking along the bottom of this great Tuscarera valley, craning our necks and looking up, we should see Japan, with the trees
