MAKES NEW USE OF ECHOES
Inventor's Idea May Do Away With
the Old Practice Known as
''Heaxing the Lead'
An Inventor In Oakland. Cal., hns
found n new hnd practical use for
echoes, nnd as a result tho tlmo may
como when the practice- of "heaving
the lend" at sea will bo knovn only
In historical novels nnd old maritime
history. The marlmeter, ns tho new
device Is called, sends n sound from
tho keel of the ship to the bottom of
the sea: tho sound comes back ns nn
echo, nnd the Journey, automatically
recorded on n diaphragm, Is translated
Into terms of length. The report shows
the depth of water between keel and
bottom, calculated from tho known
speed of the sound-wave In'salt water,
and the knowledge may be acquired nt
the rate of four, soundings n minute,
which Is very much faster thnn by tho
older methods. The marlmeter, to be
sure, has only recently gone to sen,
