Ocean Cables

The machinery used for picking
cable in both deep and shallow water
is of the most simple description.
1t consists of a rope about an inch
and Il quarter in diameter, made
from twisted hemp, with interviewer
wires of fine steel the grapnel at
the end is merely solid shaft of
iron some feet long, weighing about
100 pounds, and prolonged into six
blunt hooks, which very much re-
semble the partly closed fingers of
the human hand. In picking up
the cable in deep water, the Minia,
after reaching the waters near the
break, lets out her rope and grapnel,
then takes a course at right angles
to the cable and at some distance
from the fracture, so that the broken
end may not slip throug the grapnel,
the grapnel rope is attached TO dy-
namometer, which exactly measures
the strain of the rope, and shows
unerringly when the cable has been
caught. If the grapnel fould rock
the strain rises very suddenly and
to a high point; but the exact weight
of the cable being known, the dyna-
m ometer signals by the steady rate
Of increases its hold on the cable,
which is very far below. The ease
and certainty with which the cables
are picked up in these days is amaz-
ing. Not long ago one of the lines
OF the Angio-America Company was
caught without trouble at depth of
two and quarter miles, near the
middle OF the Atlantic Coptain
Trott, of the Minia, who won great
fame for his skill and ingenuity in
cable matters, but recently picked
up the French cable $50 miles offSt.
Pierre, and in four hours from the
time the cable was spliced and in
good working condition.
The splicing is work of great
deIicacy and skill, and when accom-
plished by trained fingers, the
spiiced part can scarcely be distin-
guished from the main cord. So
rapid has been the Improvement in
perfecting the model cable, that the
resistance to the electric current has
been reduced to one quarter OF what
it was twenty years ago while the
duplex system of senGing and re-
ceiving messages double the capaci-
ty of every new cable laid. The
working age of a modern cable is
about thirteen years.

Fertilizers for the Grape.

At a recent meeting of the West
ern New York Horticultural Society,
Prof. Caldwell, of Cornell Univer-
sity, in a paper which he read on
the subject, treated very thoroughly
of fertilizers for grape. The first
point for inquiry was, what does the
grape take from the soil? Secondly,
what is the composition of the grape
and vine? Thirdly. what does sta
BILE manure do by way of supplying
this exhaustion? And fourthly,
what commercial fertilizers accom-
plish the same end? He gave the
component parts of the vine-spoke
of the amount of potash and phos-
phoric acid, which proves to be much
less than the same ingredients con-
tanned in the farm crops of clover,
wheat and potatoes, and the amount
of these ingredients found i'll the
soils. The importance of potash
was indicated. Diseased wood was
found to contain much less potash
than the healthy vine, and lime had
been found to supply the place of
potash in diseased growth. In the
European vineyards twenty-seven
tons of yard manure are applied
every three years, an amount con-
tanning several times as much pot
ash and phosphoric acid as analysis
shows to be necessary. The paper
was rather suggestive of future in
vestigation than as prescribing fixed
directions, and the conclusion was
drawn that stable manure promises
the best for vineyards, while leal
mold, peat and potash salts may be
added. The fact that soils in diff.
ferent localities vary in composition
shows that no distinct rules can be
prescribed alike for all places. Mr.
Rodgers. of New Jersey, said he had
conducted series of experiments
for three years on fertilizers for the
grape and strawberry, and that pot.
ash in any form had an unlike effect
on different varieties of the grape
For example, on the Concord the
wood was rendered the first year
more spongy and the fruit more LA
BILE to drop. The next year the
wood became hard and the grapes
larger and better. On the Wilder
the influence was every way better
Sulphate of potash often decreased
the size of the berry. Nitrate OF
potash sometimes diminished the
market value of the fruit by making
the skin so thin that he had found
that it could not be taken safely to a
place only seven miles distant. Each
variety, however, would give differ.
ent results.

speeding over the rough mountains
urged by love and fear.
She loved her husband passion
ately, and her brave, loving spiri
was constantly with him. 1t is said
that Mrs. Slade made the distance
from her home to Virginia over the
mountains, twelve miles, in a little
over half an hour.
Meanwhile, Slade hade had beer
led forth to execution. He asked
that he might be allowed to see his
wife before be died and although
it seemed hard to refuse such re-
quest, the committee, knowing the
kind of a woman Mrs. Slade was
deemed it best he should hang with.
ouEDeeing her. When Slade heard
the decision he cried out:
"My wife-my dear wife! My
God, my God! must die without
seeing you 2"
His entreatiss to see his wife were
pitiable, bu. his requests were firmly
denied, and he was told that, if be
had any business to settle, to ar
range it at once. A rope was thrown
over a beam in the store and a moose
made at the end of it. He was then
told to mount Oh box.
At this moment man threw of
his coat and said Slade could not be
hanged until he was killed. In
stantly hundred guns were leveled
at him, and he turned and ran, but
he was caught and brought back,
and made to resume his coat and
it was not until he had humbly apol-
ogized for his interference, and prom
ised never to do so again, that the
crowd was appeased and agreed not
to hang him.
There was no further effort made
to rescue the prisoner, for every one
saw that the people meant business,
and any attempt at interfering with
their will would bring down de-
struction upon the heads OF the
reckless men.
Everything being in readiness, the
judge gave the command, "Men do
your duty" I" the box was kicked
from under SHADES feet, and he hung
dangling by the neck.
He died almost instantly, and af-
ter hanging fifteen minutes was cut
down, and his body carried over to
the hotel and decently laid out in a
darkened room.
Hardly had his limbs been
Strengthened on the cooling board
before the unfortunate companion of
his life arrived at headlong speed.
Her grief was heart rending, and
gave evidence of the depth and sim
cerity of her attachment to the des-
perado. Her shrieks and cries
could be heard for blocks away, and
it was a long time before she could
control herself.
