Doves a branch of the "Gulf Stream ye to the bottom of the Atlantic cyan and emerge again far north in safi'in Bay? asks Science Service. Is ho Labrador Current a continuous verfiow from the Arctic Ocean? Does h,a east Greenland. current stretch all .he way acrors to Labrador? Why is he west coast of Greenland so much rarmer climatically than Baffin Land n the same latitude? These are some of the ontstandinc lu ;ztions of Arctic oceanography that .lay be solved during the summer. .'lie United States Coast Guard yes el Marion is up in the Arctic fully 'quipped with apparatus for measur- :ng. the temperature and saltiness of `he ocean water, for observing the 'eean currents, and other apparatus unusual in such a boat. One of the most important instru- ments with which she is provided is the sonic depth finder. With an accurate measureesf can be made of the depth of the water, with far more precision and speed than with the old type sounding line. This consists of an oscillator, operated electrically and located on the ship's hull, which sends out sound waves. These travel to the bottom, and are reflected as an echo. Microphones le- cated elsewhere on the ship's hull pick up this echo. The speed of sound waves through water is well known, and so, from the time it takes the waves to return, the depth can be measured. Every half hour, day and night, on her cruise, a measurement will be made of the depth. The expedition will sail over an area of 50,000 square miles where no sounding has ever been made and the results will be of great scientific importance. The oast Guard expedition is not alone in this area, for the Danish Government is sponsoring a similar exploration with which the Coast• Guard will co-operate. FEED MENTAL PATIlanrS. Full Meals and Varied Diet Is Urged by Scientist.. Good food and plenty of it is real medicine for patients suffering truer mental and nervous diseases, accord- ing to Dr. David H. Keller, medical director of the Central Louisiana State Hospital. Patients in the I.oui' da ua hospital are fed three generous sized, nour- ishing meals a day, chiefly rice, sweet potatoes, cane syrup, corn and other products of the big hospital farm. Every patient is weighed each month, and if he is underweight he gets an extra meal a day, under the direction of the ward physician. Patients suffering from chronic paliagra get still more attention, with doses of fresh fruit, lemonade, milk, eggs, and oatmeal. Some of the violent patients, wheae activity burns up so much energy that it seems im- possible to keep them properly nour- ished., are fed as often as seven times a day, Dr. Keller reported. The death rate at the hospital is very low, says the doctor. A Far Cry. The distance to which a mazes mice will carry depends upon many different circumstances. The condi- tion of the atmosphere is one—damp will slow down the sound waves, while a dry, crisp air will forward them easily. Wind is another factor -so, is the height of the speaker in regard to the number of objects, rocks and so on in, front of him.. The number of competing noises also has to be considered. Under ordinary cir- cumstances, few voices will carry in- telligibly much over a couple of hun- dred yards, but this distance has been far exceeded with exceptionally favor- able i1 conditions. In the stillness of the frozen North, for irstance, a voice will carry for over a mile. And a song, as rendered from a mountain top, was once heard at a distance of four miles. Lit Up Like Niagara Falls. Shoshane Falls, in the Snake river near. Twin Falls„ in the southern part of Idaho, have been electrically light- ed for the benefit of tourists and visi- tors. Thirty flood lights, producing 25,000;000 candle power, have been installed at the brink of the falls. At the Shoshone Falls the river makes a drop of 212 feet, which is approximately fifty feet greater e ater than Niagara, but the falls do not carry as large a volume of water. The flow is greatly affected by the spring flood season, and for several weeks the waters thunder over the falls at a. tar rthe rate. flow is your subscription to Advance Times? have not alreadyn If you so J your re'ncWa.1 do so at once, Pocket Gramophone Records Gramophone records that are pit- able, and can be rolled up and car - tied in the pocket, have been in- vented.
