this race, with an order for a ship
991 feet long, to be built at S t

and will be finished in 1933. The
W hite Star line is building the new
Oceanic in Belfast, Ireland, to Ice
1,000 feet long, costing 25 million dol­
lars, ready for service in 1932. E-uh
of the three Italian lines is building a
great Diesel-engined motorship, to
make the run between Naples and
N ew York in 6Fi days.
A il of those are in addition to tlie
new German, Cunard and American
tea monsters of which I wrote
recently.
In five years the cost of
ocean travel will be reduced by this
competition and the speed increased,
so that anybody having a 30-day holi­
day can make a considerable tour of
Europe for three or four bandied
dollars.

DEPTH
Inside of a steel ball, lowered at
the end of a cable, Dr. W illiam Berbo
famous ocean naturalist, descended
1,426 feet below the surface o, tlie
ocean. There were thick quarts win­
dows in the diving apparatus through
which he projected an electric light
and seen the strange creatures which
swim at tln.t great depth.
Probably no mail w ill ever go much
deeper under the sea, fo r even at a
quarter of a mile the water pressure
it 600 pounds to the square inch.
Under ground men have penetrated a
full mile, in the Tamarack mine in
Michigan.
There are several mines
more than 4,000 feet depth.
The
greatest danger in deep mines is the
temperature.
.Miners in the Corn-
stock mine work at a temperature
of 130 degrees.
Some day man will tunnel fifteen
miles deep or more and utilize the
earth's heat to run machinery on the
surface.
