MAKES NEW USE OF ECHOES

An Inventor in Oakland, dhl., has j

echoes. and as n result the time may

In historical novels and old maritime
history. The rnarimeter, as the new
device Is called, sends a sound from
the keel of the ship to the bottom of
the sea; the sound ii,(init!S bhck as an
echo, and tli<? journey, automatically
recorded on a diaphragm, Is translated
Into terms of length.' The report shows
the depth of water between keel and
bottom, calculated from the known
speed of the sound-wave In salt water,
and the knowledge may he acquired at
the rate of four soundings a minute,
which is very much faster than by.the
older tuothods* The nmriiueter, to he
sure, has only recently gone to sea.

will carry the first of them, has yet

Sciencc and Soap Bubbles.
.Sir James Dewar. the Knglish pro
fessor of chemistry, who has made
soap huhides which .he kept intact for
more than a year, says that when a
soap bubble becomes very old. say In
three or four days, it offers the only
possible example of the molecule vis
ible to the naked eye. Tti the soap
bubble ordinarily there are about 1<M)
layers of molecules but* scientific treat
ment has produced black spojs In
which thwe is only a single layer, so
thin that Sir James. estimates that it
would take one and one-third mil
