DISTANCE ANNIHILATED BY ELEc-
TRICITY.-( India Tunes -During the
repair of the telegraph cable near Bonn
nay. the steamers Chiltern and Grta,
Northern were about half mile apart
the former having hold of shore end
able, and so was in telegraphic COM
tnunicatiOn with Bombay; the latter
having hold of q sea end, and 80 WAS IN
telegraphic communication with Alden.
The Chiltern desired the Great North
ern to splice CD the cable end held ny
The latter, and pay out three quarters OF
mile of cable, and this was communi
Gated by wire from the test room Of the
Chiltern, passing through all the coils
of cablein her hold and on to Bombay,
whence it was sent on to Alden. and
back from Alden to the Great Northern.
Thus, as a speedy means of sending q
a message half a mile, it was forwarded
by route between three aud four thou
sand miles long. The following morn
Ing, when the two vessels were within
4 quarter of mile of each other, com.
municatiOns passed between them con
-tsntly ia the same way. It Is quite
evident that as railway and steamboat
travelling and telegrsphiug progress, we
shall have to adopt some other means OF
measuring distances than those We now
possess.

San Francisco at the present time $l4
per barrel. At least half this price rep
resents freight charges, and the retail
price brings them up to the neighbor-
hood of S17 per barrel. This berry has
been cultivated largely in the New Eng
land states for years, and Il large pro-
portion of the cOuntry's supply comes
from this source. In Michigan and Wis
consin are large marshes where it flour
ishes in the wild state; but these marsh
es are now found to be inadequate to
the demand, and Il large amount of cap
ital has recently been invested in land
and improvements for the propagation
of the fruit in that region of Wisconsin
where it has grown wild. The price
there ranges from So to $3.50 per BUSH
ell. and the company expect to get hand
some profits from this investment mt
these figures. If the cranberry can be
produced here for even double the money
they are worth there, there would be n
wide margin of profit for the grower.
So far as we know, there has been no
effort made to cultivate this berry on
the coast. Why should not some of our
farmers experiment with itP-HumbOldt
