purposes, where there is a risk of damage
from anchors or from o rocky bottom.
. Such a cable is known as a “shore-end”
type, and is composed of the “deep-sea”
with a second sheeting of fourteen large-
sized galvanized iron wires, rather in the
shape of white beans. The “deep-sea”
type of 'cable weighs four and a half tons,
and the ‘"shore-end” type as much as
fourteen and a half tons per nautical mile.
But in the “shore-end” cafole there is a
little circular brass tube enclosing the
gutta percha surrounding the copper con-
ducting wire. This we have not mentioned
before. It is specially contrived to frust-
rate the industrious meanderings of a pecu-
liar species of ocean worm, known as the
teredo. This little oceanic traveler quickly
proved himself a source of worry to the
cable companies. He works with a little
natural chisel, boring his way, but when
he is confronted by a smoth brass wall
his little oh'isel works in vain. He can get
no purchase, and so baffled, and, it is to
foe hoped, discouraged by this example of
human ingenuity in dealing with ocean,
worms, he doubtless returns the way he
came.
READ IT IN HIS NEWSPAPER.
George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon; Ohio, is a con-
stant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung.
He knows, that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf-
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
“After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, ‘I feel as though
born anew,’ and before ’using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties.” H®
is very thankful and hopes that all suffer-
ing likewise will hear of her recovery.

The dangers; that threaten the safety of
the cable in its ocean bed are numerous.
It is subject to hot and cold springs,
which bubble up at enormous pressure and
force it in two. Volcanic eruptions are
fatal, and the cable lines round about the
West Indian Islands at the present time
are in a state of havoc. Many of the lines
are torn asunder, while miles are melted
or lie hurried beneath vast accumulations
of lava and debris. In reparing cables it is
not at all out of the way to spend ten
thousand pounds, while in several cases
cable companies have had to foot a nice
little bill of £30,000 for reparing their lines.

The weather men say there will be but
little change in weather conditions
night and tomorrow.
partly cloudy and fresh to brisk souther-
ly winds are predicted to blow.
state the hot weather, which received
set back Saturday on account of the rain,
is again having an inning. The maximum
temperature that prevailed in Texas yes-
terday was 104 degrees at Henrietta.
Here the maximum temperature was 87
degrees, which was the lowest maximum
temperature that prevailed in the state.
Ballinger reports having had a rain of
19.3 inches, which must have been a
cloudburst. This is one of the heaviest
rainfalls thar has been reported to the
weather office in the history of the
bureau. A half an inch fell at Abilene.
It is thought by some that only 1 93 inches
were precipitated at Ballinger, instead of
19.3 inches, and the matter is being in-
vestigated This is highly probable, any-
way. But even then 1 93 Inches is a good
rain for that country and it was urgently
needed.

veloped in a covering of gutta percha, the
gutta percha acting as an insulator, and
preventing loss of current when trans-
mitting messages. The gutta percha core,
so formed, Is covered with a bedding of
tarred jute yarn. This bedding protects
the gutta percha from being damaged by
twelve galvanized iron wires, which are
laid around Lt. The sheathed cable has
then an external covering, composed of
two preservative tapes, which protect the
wires froria the action of the sea water.
These tapes, previously saturated in a
bituminous compound, are laid on heilqaliy.
This kind of cable is called the “deep-sea’'
.type, A stronger type used fax landing
foe dropped, into ocean ooze, sand or a
coral bed and be gradually covered up it
will lie snug and safe for any number of
years. Near shore, ground swells and
undercurrents are -apt to hurl the cable
to and fro with a pulling movement perilous
to its Safety. To obviate this, specially
heavy cables are used so that they may
sink at once right into the ground out of
range of the heavy ground swells.
Perhaps it would be well here to get
some clear idea of the cable itself. Such
rest to chance. Now, in surveying all
along a line between tiwo points where it
is proposed to drop a cable, soundings are
taken for ten miles on either side, and the
slightest suspicion of hillocks or crevices
in the vicinity will widen out the sur-
veying perhaps for three or four times the
distance. Every cable must be laid flat
on the bed of the ocean, and not sag be-
tween two unequal pieces of ground, or
festoon from one high point to another.
So it will be seen that if the cable can

London Letter. ;
Anyone who, for a comparatively small
sum is able to carry on a conversation by
cable from one side of the world to the oth-
er is little prone to consider,in doing so,the
wonderful preparations necessary, the
enormous, expenditure, the amount of hard
and exact thinking and surveying that go
before the facilities we now possess. All
over the world cables stretch and coil,
crossing, interseicting, penetrating farther
and farther. And to every brameh and sys-
tem is attached a fleet of ships to look
after them, and a bevy of highly-trained
electricians to keep them in working order.
To get a full idea of the process gone
through in laying a cable, one cannot do
better than note what takes place—suppos-
ing the cafble to be duly manufactured and
ready to be dropped into position along
the bed of the ocean.

can find a suitable house his family, con-
sisting of a wife and four children, will

his deputies imtil tomorrow, when the bill
creating the new district besomes ef-
fective.
Accompanying Mr. Hansen are J, G.
Schermack and Sheriff J. W. Vann of
Kerr county. Sheriff Vann Is also presi-
dent of the Texas Sheriffs' association. It
is highly probable both of these gentie-
men will be appointed deputies deputies
under Marshal Hanson. E. T. Dorough,
formerly United States deputy marshal
under Dr. Grant, is also rumored, as a
prospective appointee, cf Marshal Hanson.
MarsM&l Hanson has wen a United
States deputy marshal at Laredo since

is lacking. He admits it and does not of-

title.
It will be remembered that Marshal
Grant was known to all his friends as
“Doctor.” Marshal Houston is a full-
fledged militia colonel, but Marshal Han-
son says tha the has never been able to
even drum up as dignified a title as
“squire.” He is, however, in hopes of
acquiring a supplemental title before he
has served out his term. In the country
where Marshal Hanson has been living
he is known as a man of unflinching de-
votion to duty and unswerving honesty.
He has done more to rid Laredo of
smugglers and other law breakers than

friends count for anything. lie will re-

■ ’
on which to lay a cable, as the genial
manager of the Direct West India Cable
Company told the writer, is one coimposed
principally of ooze—that is, a soft deposit
that accumulates on the ocean bottom.
To find such a bed, level and comparative-
ly soft, is a great piece of good luck, and
one that has attended the cable company
that has laid a line from Halifax, in Novia
Scotia, to Bermuda, from Bermuda to
Turk’s Island, and so on to Jamaica.
This cable was laid in 1890, and so per-
fectly was the surveying done and the ar-
rangements for laying it in the first in-
stance conducted that not a penny has
’been expended on it since. In the old days
of cable-laying the chief idea was to drop
it overboard into the ocean and leave the

As a General Thing It Is Working Quite
Smoothly.
Surerintendent Ford reports that the
transfer system inaugurated last Monday
is, its a whole, operating very smoothly..
He says that while there are some few
attempts being made to, barter the trans-
fers this has not developed to a sufficient
extent to cause any trouble. Mr. Ford
said, however, that a number of people
forget er fail to present their transfers
to the transfer agent at Center and Mar-
ket streets and as a consequence they
are not. accepted. The face of the trans-
fer shows that this is necessary and there
is no reason for this mistake being made.
The transfer agent is there for the bene-
fit of the passengers and firit for the bene-
fit of the street ear company, says Mr.
Ford. He informs the passengers regard-
ing the point where the cars are and how
long they will have to wait and. punches
their transfer so that it will be good on
the first car that' is due. It will not be
piactieable for the company to issue
transfers which would le good on any
car line leading, to the (beach, and there-
fore in erder for the passengers to get the
advantage of the first ear leaving the
stand after their arrival it is necessary
to have a transfer agent. Otherwise the
company could have the conductors
punch the transfer and save the salary
of the transfer agent.
LOSIT AT SEA.
M. Tapio, a member of the crew of the
Libbie Shearn, a fishing smack in the
service of the Red Snapper company, was
drowned about midnight Friday last in the
gulf. The accident occurred about seventy
miles’ from Galveston and was caused by
a heavy sea washing over the deck o'f the
vessel, carrying the unfortunate man over-
board. Efforts to save his life were un-
availing, the sea being extremely rough
and the night dark. The deceased was
native of Finland, 42 years old and un-
married.
tanks. Over each of these tanks is a sys-
tem of guides that lead the cable into a
long trough laid along the deck to what is
known as the “paying out” gear. This
gear is composed of one large overhanging
drum, on which the cafble is reeled, and
two inside pulleys, the bottom part of
which runs through a tank of water.
Surrounding it are many complicated in-
struments for indicating the amount of
cable payed out, the strain on it, and the
speed at which the drum revolves. AU
these are of a nature far too technical to
be described here.
We have taken it for granted the cable
can be laid. But many are the difficulties
attending the operation. Frequently the
process has to be suspended owing to fog,
storms or some unforeseen error in
