Submeirine, S-40 were found intact after a dive to 217 foot depth where, the- pressure is about 88 pounds to thie square inch. Egg shells being porous, the salt water seepei through making the pressure equal inside and out ethuot eliminating any breaking pressure pres-sure on the egg. It is possiblo to cut ordinary win- dow-pane glass with scisisors, under water. To dto this, it is necessary to submerge to a depth where the pressure is great enough to keep the glass from shattering. Sea pressure pres-sure is 44 hundreths of a pound per squara inch for each foot cf dTp h. Therefort at 100 feet dlepth, the pressure is 44 pounds.
