From measurements obtained in this way detail contour maps can be drawn which are expected to prove of funda- mental scientific value. Hitherto many soundings have been taken in ship lanes, epecially in regions of shallow water, but vast extents on the map where there is no danger of mnnfng into shoals now are “just plain ocean,” with what lies underneath less known than the surface of the moon. Such areas include the entire stretch between the southern tip of South America and Africa in the Atlantic and all the Pa- %mc l&etween the Aleutian Islands and awail. Tedious Work of Ships. Hitherto the ocean bottom contours have been determined by dropping leads. This has required that the ship stop every few miles, so that extensive map- ing would have been quite expensive. 'he sonic depth finder, introduced dur- ing the war, enables a ship to take as many soundings as are desired without stopping. So, under the program in- augurated by Secretary Adams, every Navy skip will be equipped with these instruments and constant successions of sounding taken whenever known areas are left behind. Although the project has just been inaugurated, Navy ships already are hard at work. One craft now is taking soundings three times a day along the northern route to Japan, an area where | very few depths have been known be- 'THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1929. U.S.NAVY TO BEGIN EXPLORING VAST REGIONS UNDER THE SEAS Years Will Be Required to Obtain Detailed Contour Maps, Even With Modern Sounding Methods. . BY THOMAS R. HENRY. The greatest unknown area on the surface of the globe—millions of square miles of mysterious mountains and broad, deep valleys—Iis to be explored by the United States Navy in a research program inaugurated by Sefil‘efill’};‘A ams, which will continue for years and in which practically every Navy cra: will be is unknown region is twice as great as all the known portions of the earth. It lies at the bottom of the five oceans, concerning which, except for &Is known. Details of the plan were formulated at a recent conference between Navy officials and oceanographers from Harvard, Princeton and the Universities of Chicago and Southern California. ter charts of the world's oceans have been prepared, where all previous sound- ings are noted. Navy captains will try to fill in all the blank epaces as rapidly as possible. The information will be furnished as rapidly as it is obtained to all colleges and scientific societies for use ip solving problems of geology, oceanography and allied sciences. It is expected to prove of considerable im- portance in explaining elfihL\qu phe- nomena. When the work finished science will know for the first time the actual shape of the earth.
