CABLES HARD . MAINTAIN
Six Lines Damaged by a Typhoon
Which Lately Swept the
China Sea.
The difficulty attending the efficient
maintenance of the network of sub
marine telegraph cables, by which In
telligence is flashed to the uttermost
eusd of the earth, is illustrated by the
reports of the newspapers that no few
er than six of these cables were dam
aged by the typhoon which recently
raged over the east coast of China.
The various cable companies are, of
course, prepared for contingencies o/
this kind, and a fleet of some 46 spe
cially constructed vessels are con
stantly employed in laying and repair
ing cables in different parts of the
world.
The magnitude of these operations
may be realized when It Is said that
the length of the cable lying along th«
the bed of the ocean Is something like
225,000 miles, Of these considerably
more than one-half are British, while
British messages number 100,000,000
words per annum The cables lie at
various depths, the greatest known
depth of the ocean being 5.68 miles in
the North Paicflc.
"Our cables are tested every week"
Baid an official of the Eastern Tele
graph company, to a London newspaper
man, "and when a fault is detected a
repairing-shlp is sent to the spot.
These ships are stationed at various
renters, such as Gibraltar, Aden.
Singapore, and the west and east coasts
of Africa, and there 13 always a re
serve stock of cables kept in tanks
at certain stations.
"In shallow water the cables are
sometimes fouled by the anchors of
ships, and at the mouths of large
rivers there Is sometimes trouble
when trunks of trees and other ob
jects are swept into the sea and forced
by the strong currents against the
cables. Then there are boring in
sects like the teredo, which bores its
way between the strands of iron wir»
twisted round the core of the cable
but in our newer cables we have pro
vided against the depredations of the
teredo by a sheathing of brass coiled
around the cable like a ribbon.” .
“NO CARE" FOR COUNTY.
National Spirit of Jap and Russ in
Marked Contrast tiie World
Over.
In an old corner of Boston where
man.v races mingle a polite little Jap
anese artist has his studio, and paints
lamp-shades and screens for his mer
chant fellow countrymen. On the
Mo ad A Imii i! l de s victory, re
lates Youth's Corntanion, he was ex
citedly discussing the event with an
American customer when the duo
opened and a red-bearded Russian
peddler entered with a bulging satchel
“Ha!” exclaimed the intruder, in a
big voice. “You buy to-day? Yes"
Shoe-string? Knife; Shawl?”
“No! No! No!”'cried the “Jap,” ex
cietdly. “You go out. You go out
I buy nothing to-day. Togo—ha whip
—take all—capture Russian—I make nc.
trade with you.”
“Aha!” exclaimed the Russian again,
his face lighting up with a new In
terest. “You Japan?” He pointed a
lean finger accusingly at the Jap. “I
Russian! You no make trade with me
— make fight with me? Yes?”
“Ye3, I make fight with you,” agreeo
the Jap; but befc-re he could do so the
Russian had already burst into a go
nial laugh.
“Poof!” he said, making a gre.af
sound. “Russia! What care I? Rus
sia! I not care anything. I come
away. In America I have gladness
that Russia is capture." He held out
his pack toward the Jap ingratiatingly
j “Now you make trade with me?
, X C3 .
The Jap glared at him. scornfully
then turned to the American with a
1 deprecatory gesture.
I "Such we fight!" he exclaimed. “No
j good a* all. How can he be any
j good who has not care for his coun
try?”
Certainly no one has accused the la
i auders of lacking that care—but ii
nay be that for a bettp.r country, or
rather, a better government, Ivan, too
might have developed patriotism.

Highland Funerals.
! A Scottish correspondent writes ot
i funerals in the Highlands. "There are
jo undertakers hern. A carpenter
makes the simple coffin, relatives and
friends carry It, hip high, to its last
-eating place, which is dug when the
end of the Journey is reached, and.
having walked perhaps six mile3 to
che chosen kirkyard, they take a re~
i freshment of sandwiches and whisky
; and walk home again. The rigorous
} absence of pomp is maintained, but
there is the added embellishment of
J pipe music.”
