Senator Borah thla morning aald he

ATLANTIC SEA FLOOR :
TO BE INVESTIGATED
By Eric Grundmark.
Publisher' Pi-mw Ied Wire.) '
Copenhagen. Dec. 4. The Norwegian
povernment has placed the- steamer
Michael Sara, at' the disposal of an ex
pedition which will devote four months
of the exploration of the deepest part
of the Atlantio sea floor.
The expedition was suggested by Sir
John Murray, tha well known English
expert1 and was readily accepted by the
.Norwegian government.
The Michael Sara will leave Plymouth
ebout April t. A series of sections will
he made from the coast of Europe over
the Continental slope into deep water
as far south as. Gibraltar, and even off
the coast of Africa as far south as
Slogador. ? Observing stations will then
he made as far as Maderla and the
Azores.- Should good weather be , en
countered, ' she may-; then proceed ; to
Newfoundland, Iceland, the Farces, . and
Scotland. Should, however, the weather
not permit this extended cruise the
phip wUl return again along the-coasts
of Kurope to tho Faroe islands. !
Sir John Murray, Dr. John Hjort,
Professor Gran, Dr. ' Hoi land-Han sen
ana Mr. Koeroea wh take part in the
expedition. Captain Tversen has been
in command of the ahlp for the. past
xeven years, and the crew are exper
ienced In deep sea-work.
Tho North Atlantio has been the ob
ject of numerous investigations during
tha past 60 or 60 years? Its physical,
chemical, and biological condiUons were
specially examined by the great rChal
leng-er expedition over 80 years ago, and
similar, though 'lesst"ttehsivo explora
tions have been undertaken by Ameri
ca rt, German, French and Danish ex
jediUons as well aa by tho Prince of
.Monaco. , - ; 1 - 1 , 1 1 ' ; .,
Tho purpose of tha ! forth-coming
rruie of tho Michael Bars Is to try
in tho great ocean the new methods
and Instruments which have been de
veloped within the past few years, es-l-ecially
during the international fishery
explorations. . It Is believed that the
(treat fishery - nets and trawls ' whicljj
re now used ror economic purposes
in shallower waters can be used with
mcces in great depths,' down even to
three and a half miles. On one occesion
Hie Challenger from a depth of nearly
lo miles with a 19 foot trawl, brought
up 27 fish, belonging to seven species,
but recently the Michael Sara, by means
if a trawl with 80 foot head rope.
brought up from a depth -of over half a
mfle 22S fish, 1 00 - which belonged to
new species. - If these larger catching
appliances can be used with success in
t i e greatest depths of the Atlantic, some
important and interesting boo logical re
auns may be obtained. i
.-j eciaj interest will ba attached to
Knervatlons with 3cman'a new current
r efer. This has ta used wiyi auc-
' s hy the Michael Sara down to depths

qualities and recognize the fact in selecting: the dickering Piano fhat they have chosen the
best possible medium with which they may display thefr art. - There is a mellowness and sweet
ness about the Chickering tone which suggests the violin quality of tone has never be?n sacri
ficed for quantity of tone, and there is always that pure and true musical timbre associated with
the Chickering Piano which at once captivates all listeners. The Chickering Piano represents
more closely the human voice than any other instrument, ' -
Chickering supremacy was not gained and is not maintained by purchased influence. .
