Winter is Still
Holding Sway In
Eastern States
By The Associated Press
Winter apparently was concentrat
ing its prolonged, attack, today on the
east, but there was a promise from
the weather bureau that there would
be some relief tomorrow, there, as
well as In the central west.
An all-time weather record was
broken In Boston at 8 a. m,, today
when the temperature dropped to 17
degrees below zero. This was three
degrees lower than recorded at any
time In the 63 years history of the
local weather bureau.
The moderation had already begun
In the middle west -today, but there
was a threat of more snow to add
to the drifts already piled high, in
many localities.

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.
