HE result of the recent municipal cor

new hope OF being able to carry lie
state ~ the presidential election next

much qualification at the improved pros
poets of the party, and believes that in
campaign fought on national issues the
Republicans have every encouragemer

changes were made in the political statr $
OF several OF the most important cities of
the state. The re uit, is doub less, due

among the laboring classes that the tend

Work has been recommended on the
Washington Monument at the national
capital. 1t is now $40 feet high. When
completed it will have a height of 500
aeet OF stone and 55 feet of glass, and
WILL it is thought, exceed in height the
highest structure ever reared by the hand
Of man. The Strasburg cathedral towers
20 the height of 46S, and St. Peters at
44S; the spire of The cathedral of Col
ogne, rises to 511 feet, and the highest oil
the pyramids was but 479 feet high when
it was first built Hence it appears that
when, as is expected, the Washington
Monument is completed, in December
1885, its topmost point will be some A
feet higher than any other artificial ele
yatioD.

UNDERGROUND AND SUBMARINE
WIRES.

Wires are almost invariably carried
underground through towns. Copper
wire, insulated with gutta percha, en-
cased in iron pipes, is the material used.
There are $4,000 miles Of underground
wire in the United Kingdom. There
is greater cutlery for more under ground
work in England, owing to.the destruction
to open lines by gales and snow-storms;
but underground telegraphs, wire for
wire, cost at present about four times as
much as overground lines, and their
capacity for the con veyance of messages
is only one-fourth; so that Overground
are, commercially, sixteen times better
than underground wires. To lay the
whole of the Post Office system under
ground would mean an expenditure oil
about EGO, 100000. Hence there is nc
desire to put wires under ground except
| in towns. Besides, snow-storms are few
and far between, and their effects are
much exaggerated. Of the numerous
| materials and compounds that have been
| used for insulating purposes, gutta-percha
| remains the oldest and the best for IN
| ierground purposes. It, like all other
materials used for telegraphy, has beer
improved vastly through the searching
power that the current gives the engin
| eer
The past ten years has seen the glob'
covered with network of cables. Sub
marine telegraphs have become a sole
| property. They are laid with facilit!
and recovered with certainty, even in thu
deepest oceans. Thanks to such expe
ditions as that of Her Majesty's shiI
Challenger, the floor of the ocean is be

PRESIDENT Tuttle, of Wabash Col
lege, has in his possession fac-simile
copy of the London Times for October
3, 1898. It consists of four pages, and
is twenty-three inches by seventeen in
size. Its news items afford some curious
contrasts to the present age. One OF
them states as great achievement the
fact that Mrs. Siddons performed at
Brighton, Bath and London withiA the
incredibly short space of njnety-six
hours. To-day she might play in the
three places within the space of sixteen
hours. In the same paper Nelson's vic
tory of the Nile is announced, which haC
taken place two months before. To-day

$4,000 miles of cable at work, and $780,
600, 1000 have been embarked in their
establishment. A feet of twenty nine
ships is employed in laying, watching
and repairing the cables. The Atlantic
is spanned by nine cables in working
order The type of cable used has been
but very little varied from that first made
and laid between Dover and Calais; but
the character of the materials, the quail
ty of the copper and the gutta percha, the
breaking strain of the homogeneous iron
wire, which has reached ninety tons to
the square inch, and the machinery for
laying, have received such great advances
that the last cable laid across the At
lantic, by the Telegraph Construction
and Maintenance Company, was done In
twelve days, without hitch or stoppage.
