Show Talking Mountains Found Undersea mountains that just could not keep silent, have yielded their secret se-cret to the persistent scientists. By Bring detonating shells from a brass shotgun and determining the time the echoes took to return from the floor of the sea, scientists on the non-magnetic yacht Carnegie found two new ranges of mountains. One is more than a mile high above the sea floor near Ecuador. The other rises 9,750 feet, about 400 miles north of Juan Fernandez island. This range may be a contributing cause to the Humboldt current, and may also be the remnant of a sunken land whence sprang the mysterious Easter island civilization. |
