The Cables Enemies.

= Tf
About thirty miles north of the Para
mouth of the Amazon says correspond
ent, we found the cable bitten in many
places, and in some so severely that the
iron guard wires had been forcibly crush
ed aside, the cable penetrated to the con-
ductor, and pieces Of the animals teeth
left sticking in the core. Instances Of
cables having been damaged by saw-hsh
were known before, both by US and doubt
less by our readers. The saw-fsh grub
bing with its snout in the mud is supposed
by Frank Buckland to encounter the ca
Bile; and becoming enraged at it, to deal
it sharp downward stroke with its saw,
thereby piercing it from above, in certain
cases leaving its broken teeth jammed be-
tween the wires. But the bites we cut
out were evidently done by another fish,
for they showed signs Of having been
made by direct bite between a pair Of
powerful jaws, Pieces Of teeth were
found on both the upper and under side
of bitten place, showing that both jaws
had been at work. or what the fish
really is which tries its teeth on such ex-
pensive prey, nothing is certainly known,
Fish are not the only large animals
which have tried to made a meal or q
plaything out Of a cable. Under gronnd
cables have been eaten by both rats and
mice. In Bristol, a year or two ago, a
company of rats made their way into the
street pipes, and deyoured the gutta-
percha coating of the street cables. Not
long since, at Dawlish, mouse built her
nest and reared her progeny in one Of
these pipes, and apparently, supported
both herself and her household on the
gutta-percha of the wires. No doubt, as
the currant passed at times while she gnaw-
ed, the little creature felt tickling SEN
sation Of the palate, which fairly puzzled
its tiny understanding, and possibly dis
turbed its innocent feast.
A curious submarine accident occurred
few years ago to the Persian Gulf cable,
The cable suddenly broke down faulty.
The position Of the fault was localized by
shore tests, and a ship dispatched to raise
the cable and repair it, It was duly
grapnelled; and after great deal Of la
Dor, caused by the extraordinary weight
of the cable in hauling up, they succeeded
in raising it to the surface, when they
found, much to their astonishment as well
as surprise, that they had caught a
whale" The body Of dead whale was
found entangled in the coils of the cable,
where the animal had netted and strangled
itself.

NOVEMBER.

The touch of chill November
Falls on the waiting land;
The oak trees and the larches
With shiverine branches stand; ss
Winters desolation
Is felt on every hand.
The dead stems mourn their flowers; 4
The bare trees mourn their leaves;
The voice of coming winter
Sobbingly sighs and grieves; Qtfs III
And the dreaf November sunset
It's heightened shadow weaves.
There breaks not on the silence
The twitter of bird;
Within the forest arches
No summer song is heard; s fl1f Atla
And only by the north wind sfi
The leahess limbs are stirred
O birdsl o leavesl o fowersl gs
o fading things and briefs!
0uf human lives are falling
Is falls the autum's leaf, nHr5w
And in our drear November
Our hearts are bowed with grief.
And yet the winters bondage
The ice, the frost, the snow
Shall melt again and vanish
When springs warm breezes blow,
And under the winters covering
The flower of hope shall grow.

let out the whole catch. which would have filled

captors. Other vessels were warned that their

in scooping herring into bonts and transferring

Jack had pondered the various means
And methods pertaining to grinding machines,
Until he was sure he could build a wheel
That, given the sort of dam that's proper
Would only need some corn in the hopper
To turn out very respectable meal.
Jerry and Jane and 10, and the others,
Jacks incredulous sisters and brothers,
Gave him credit for good intentions,
But took no stock in the boys Inventions.
In fact they laughed them quite to scorn
Instead of wasting his time, they said,
He would be more likely to earn his bread
Planting potatoes or hoeing corn.
Bessie alone, when all the rest
Crushed hls spirit with gibe and jest,
know you will build the wheel some dayl-

Were not so sweet as her heartsome words;
Straight he answered, IF ever do,

Many time sore heart and brain,
Lea Leap at word, grown strong again,
Thanks to her. as the story goes,
Hope and courage in Jack arose
Till one bright day In tho meadow-brook
There was heard sound of water spashing
And Bessie watched with her happy look
The little wheel in the sunlight fashing.
BY and by as the years were fraught
with fruit OF his earnest toll and thought,
Brothers and sisters changed their tune
Our Jack, they cried, will be famous sooni"
Which was nothing more than Bessie knew,
She said, and had known il all the whilei
But Jack replied with kiss and smile,
