OS jgr I Lea 4 HUGE CONTINENT BENEATHSURFACE OF NORTH PACIFIC SAN DIEGO VP Stretching be neath the surface of the North Pa cific lies a complete continent, hith erto unknown, with huge plateaus, with twice the width of America; with mountains higher than Mt. Everest, the highest peaks of which are known to us as the Hawaiian islands, and with great depths, separating It from Asia, that drop more than six miles to their bottom. . This unknown territory was discov ered recently by the echoes from the Sonio Depth Finder aboard the V. S. S. Ramapo on a survey of the ocean bottom from America to Asia and from 10 to 40 degrees north latitude, when she was commanded' by Cap tain Claude B. Mayo, U. 8. N. Captain Mayo visited the Scrippa Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla and left a graphlo picture of the complete subterranean continent revealed by his soundings. Captain Mayo constructed a relief model of the floor of the Paolflo now on display at the museum of natural history In Balboa park here. The submerged territory Is not marked by steep depths In Its sep aration from North America, which appears more to be a raised eastern shoulder of the submerged continent. But it Is separated from, the west ooast of Asia by a series of tremendous depths, some being mora than six miles to their bottoms. Prom north to south la the west portion of the -continent stands a mammoth mountain ridge with tow ering peaks that are known to Pacific mariners as Islands (Hawaiian, etc.), banks and reefs. Although there Is no proof, it may be conjectured that when survey Is made of the Pacific floor ares south of 10 degrees north it will be discovered that the various groups of South Sea Islands are southern peaks of the great western ridge of the sub-continent.
