Soundings by Echo.
Many landsman must have marvelled at the myritus of "sound. ings" that cover the canvas. Each "sounding" has, in the past, in volved a great labour in lowering and raising a lead-le to depths varying from I father to 6 miles. The evidences for the little letters recorded beside the soundings--2 for annd, m for mud, and many others have been drawn from the depths on sony contaued in a re- ceptacle in the bottom of the lend. Each sounding has been "fixed" by observations of the heavenly bodies and is generally accurate within a few hundred yards of its exact position in spaces.

Apart from the great folics of charts the Royal Navy has been largely responsible for a library of books, including "Suiting Direc tions" and "Light Lists," for the whole world:
Romance, combined always with accuracy, fils tüeir pages, and a. "China Sea Pilot," the "Wost In- dies Pilot," and scores of athers, contain reading matter and pen pictures of strange and unvisited Ianda. Foreign maritime natione. contributo systematically to these publications; and now, of course, carry out their own national sur- veys. The art of survey knows no frontiers. The hours of daylight, not an "eight-hour day," regulate the work of surveyors. In the au- tumn tho suroying ships return to their home ports and the laborious- Hy-collected-faste-of-the-summer- are during the winter made avai)- able to the navigators of the world. Admiral Douglas, the Hydro- grapher of the Navy, is at the bead of the surveying service, and 65. officers work under his direction..
