WATER PRESSURE
Tremendous Force Exerted at
the Bottom of the Sea.
AIR THERE COULD NOT RISE.
It Would Be Compressed to Such a
Degree of Density by the Enormous
Weight That the Water Would Float
Upon It—Limits of Diving Depths.
From ordinary considerations it
would seem that there is no limit to
the depths to whirl] a diver or a sub
marine l»oat might go. Such, how
ever, Is not the case. What prevents
diving to great depths is the enormous
ly increasing pressure of water. No
diver without a suit can go over ir>0
feet, because the pressure on the body
Is then about fivv tons to the square
foot on his body. Eardrums would be
staved in. and other fearful difficulties
would result
To remedy this the diving suit was
Invented, but there Is a limit also to
Its depth. At a depth of one mile the
pressure due to the writer alone is lf>5
tons to t.lie square foot. Even if a div
ing suit was devisinl to withstand this
enormous pressure trouble would be
found In getting a p'pe line that long
and withstanding the pressure that
would not break of Its own weight.
In the case of a submarine bout it
Is slightly different. Here only the
strength of the boat is the necessary
thing. But to be strong the walls have
to be thickened, and tills adds to the
weight, consequently adding to the
load to be pulled through the water,
and so at last the limit of the engine
propelling the boat Is reached. If a
larger engine is procured it itself
weighs more, larger quarters are need
ed for it. etc Su there is a well de
fined limit f" a marine boat's diving
I.et us take the extreme depth of the
sea so far found, that of five miles, and
find the pressure to the square foot on
the bottom As water is comparative
ly incompressible, a cubic foot of it
weighs practically the same on the
surface as at the bottom "f the sea.
In the case of fresh water this is sixty
two and a half pounds. Salt water
weighs slightly more. So all one has
to do to tin t I lie pressure due to the
water at :iy depth Is to multiply the
depth in feet by sixty-two and a half,
and the answer is apparent at once in
pounds.
At a depth of five miles, the numner
of feet being 2IS.-100. we have that num
her of cubic feet to multiply h.v sixty
two and a ha If. The answer is 1,600.
000 pounds, or $25 tons, to the squnre
foot pressure. No known hoilow ves
sel can withstand this.
While on the subject of increasing
water pressure a number of interesting
observations can be made iu connec
tion with air compressibility. Air is
very compressible, tlie volume decreas
ing as the pressure increases. If a bot
tle is tightly corked it will contain air
at ordinary pressure of fifteen pounds
to the square inch, and that is the
pressure it exerts. Then tie a weight
to the bottle and let it down in the sea
by means of a string. On bringing it
to the top again it will be found that
t'ie stopper has been forced into the
bottle by the water pressure. If the
bottle is filled with water and stop
pored and let down uo such thing takes
place, showing that water is not com
pressible in any great extent
If by any means some air could be
placed at the bottom of a sea five miles
deep it would not rise to the top. for it
would be denser—that is. would weigh
more to tile cubic foot than water—
and the water would have to tloat on
the air; hence no man knows if the
bottom of our seas Is wet or not.
There is only one thing that would
prevent the air from becoming this
dense, and that is if it was cold enough
it would liquefy. However, it is al
most impossible—Is. in fact, impossible
—for anything at the bottom of the sea
to be colder than 4 degrees C.. for if it
got colder the water around it would
become colder and larger and conse
quently lighter and rise, and Its place
would be taken by 4 degree water,
which would bring the object to that
teiu)>erature So we have no argument
against the suggestion, for the temper
ature at or below which air liquefies is
between 100 and 200 degrees below
zero O.
Some people seem to tliink mat a
stone thrown into the sea can sink
only to a certain depth and is there
held suspended on account of the pres
sure of water. A body immersed In
fluid is buoyed up only by the weight
of the fluid displaced. We have found
that water is practically Incompress
ible. so if the stone displaces a cubic
foot of water that water weighs the
same, or practicaly so. at the top or
at the bottom of the sea. So the stone
would be buoyed np ouly by that con
stant force and would be carried down
by its weight. Thus the di(Terence in
the forces would be always downward,
and the stone would sink to the bot
tom.
in fact, if the stone is at all com
pressible the tendency is for it to set
heavier per unit volume as It goes
down, for we have the same weight
in a smaller space. It will be remem
bered that this is what happens to the
air if we take It In a rubber bag under
the surface of the sea. The volume
gets less and less, consequently weigh
ing more and more per unit volume
and displacing less and less water and
being buoyed up less and less until at
last a place Is reached where the air
weighs more volume for volume than
does the water and it will not rise.—

His Blunder
By GREGORY GIBSON
Woolcott during the summer met
Miss Martindaie and did a lot of spoon
ing, with the usual result However,
the affair was not brought to a finish,
and Woolcott was obliged to take a
thousand mile trip for the purpose of
making a proposition. He was pre
paring to do so when the lady wvote
him that she would be at M. short
ly and would be happy to receive him
there. Since M. was some 900 miles
nearer than her residence. Woolcott
concluded to see her there instead.
Miss Martindaie wft>te that she
would be at the Cliffs, meaning that
she would visit a family of that name.
Woolcott took this to mean that she
would stop at a hotel. On alighting at
the station he asked a man who was
in a hurry where he could find the
Cliffs. The man pointed to a hand
some house on a bill near by. He
found the baggage agent and. pointing
to the house, told him to send his
trunk there; then he set off to walk the
distance. On arriving he opened the
front door, entered a spacious hallway
and saw a gentleman reading a news
paper before an open fireplace.
"The Cliffs. 1 believe?" said Woolcott
The gentleman looked up at him
over a pair of glasses, somewhat sur
prised. and replied in the affirmative.
"Are you the landlord?" asked Wool
cott.
A twinkle came Into the gentleman's
eye. and he replied that he was the
proprietor
"I would like u room in your house
for 11 few duys." continued the travel
er "llnve you a young lady staying
with you of the name of Martindale?"
A tight seemed to break In upon the
gentleman's liraln. "Miss Florence
Muriindale? Certainly. She arrived
a few days ago. But she's out in an
auto just now. She will not return till
lale tonight. Be seated and I'll call a
sen ant to show you to a room."
Howard Cliff, banker, entertaining a
few friends at his country residence,
had sent them off In his car. remaining
at home himself. He went himself for
the butler, instead of ringing for him,
to tell him to show a gentleman to bis
room who supposed he was in a ho
tel and who was not to be told he was
in a private house. Then Mr. Cliff re
turned to the guest, followed by the
butier. who took him upstairs. While
Woolcott was making a toilet his bag
gage arrived and was sent up to him.
When he came downstairs he found
Mr. Cliff In the library.
"We have very few guests at pres
ent," said the supposed landlord. "You
see. ours is a summer bouse, and we
shall close up for the winter within a
few days or a week. It depends upon
how long I can keep those who are
now with me. You will have to dine
alone, for all have gone on the auto
party."
"I don't like that" said Woolcott
"If you are alone may we not dine
together?"
"Certainly."
"What wine have you7"
Mr. Cliff mentioned several kinds of
wine, and his guest selected cham
pagne. He asked for a wine card, but
the host told him it was unnecessary.
Woolcott regaled his host with one bot
tle and called for another. The dinner
was delightfully served, and altogether
Woolcott found the landlord a very
agreeable companion. Judging by the
uurnber of foreign places he was fa
miliar with. Woolcott thought that he
must have kept hotels all over the
world. Mr. Cliff suggested that since
the auto party would not return till
late, perhaps Woolcott would not sit
up for them. Since the latter did not
relish a meeting with the lady to whom
he had come to propose before others
he said he thought he would go to bed.
When he went down to breakrast In
the morning he met a genial party,
every one of whom had been coached
with regard to his reception. Miss
Martindale had been horrified at the
blunder he had made. She had ex
pected him to stop at a hotel and call
upon her at her friend's. But Mr. Cliff
pleaded with her to permit her friend
to remain In ignorance of the situation
temporarily and continue to be enter
tained by the Cliff family.
Miss Martindale advanced with a
smile, not unmingled with embarrass
ment. but refrained from mentioning
the mistake. All sat down together to
breakfast, and Woolcott thought what
a charming place it would be for him to
make his proposal.
tie had ample opportunity, for the
members of the family kept out of the
couple's way. having some suspicion of
the young man's errand. During the
afternoon the two took a long walk,
and when they came back Woolcott
looked very proud of himself. At din
ner he remarked to Mrs. Cliff that he
had never before stopped at so charm
ing a hotel. •
"Hotel!" exclaimed the lady, feign
ing surprise.
"Mr. Woolcott." said the host "1 have
to thank you for making a mistake in
taking my bouse for a hotel. Had you
not done so 1 should not have had the
pleasure of entertaining you."
Woolcott saw by the looks of those
present, especially his fiancee, that he
had blundered, but both host and host
ess came to the rescue, and it was not
long before he was feeling quite at
home and laughing with the rest over
his mistake. But it Is not to be ex
pected of a man who has won the girl
he wants that he will :alnd a little
thing like that.

Stars That Outshine the Sun.

referring to stars that are so distant

The old gentleman was very angry.
There could he no doubt about that.
Threatening the other with his fist, he
shouted. "If your brain was put in a

room as n shrimn in the Atlantic!"

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachia
Tube, ./hen this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of lmper
tret hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and u
less the inflamtion can b e taken
out and this tube restored to its nor

ctnoyed forever; nine cases out of tea
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
