Submarine Te!egraphy.

The submarine telegraph system Of the
world is one Of the wonders OF modern
achievements. 1t holds the globe in
network Of cables, and has made its re-
motest distances responsive TO the influ-
ences Of civilization. There arc no less
than 120,O70 nautical miles of cable
soaking to-day in salt water and trans
mitting intelligence under the bellies of
ocean fishes. Government administra-
tions own 12,524 miles, while 107, 546
are the property of private companies.
The cost of these cables approximates
5000, 100000. No less than eleven
cables are soused in North Atlantic brine,
and all laid since 1870, the total length
OF cables, including coast connections,
being more than 80, GOO miles.
The Eastern Telegraph Company covers
the ground from England to India, and
comprises 81, $50 miles of cable, to which
is an Eastern extension that exploits 49,
058 miles more. West African cables
have been laid from Cadiz to Cape Town,
and the Dark Continent is in telegraphic
touch with the ceulers of civilization.
No less than II, 900 miles OF cable were
necessary to make this connection that
gives the trader in Africa a daily notice
OF the markets of the world and keeps the
coonists en- the Orange River posted on
the events transpiring along the Gauges,
the Thames and the Mississippi.
The benefits OF this world encircling
system cannot be easily overstated, and
it is magnificent tribute to the service
and progress of electric science.-San

Theodore Child's Impressions OF the
Argentine Republic, as published in a
recent number Of Harper's Magazine,
were not altogether fatteriug to the
people of that country. He could find
In the life Of the citizens OF Buenos Ayres
no poetry, no sentiment, no generosity
nothing amiable, witty, or attractive in
the exterior aspect of men and of things.
Bishop J. M. Walden, however, in an
article which he has written for the same
periodical, takes a different and more
hopeful view of that country. At the
close Of comprehensive account of the
religious and educational institutions Of
the Argentine people, he says: "Thc
tendency of all the formative forces IN
Argentina is to make the people moro
homogeneous, to elevate them in their
social conditions, to increase the in
telligence of the masses, to develop the
typical Spanish American nation"

the conductor. He was dying. and had only
strength TO say one thing. and that was,
Hoist the flag for the next train" 30 there

voices Of God, voices OF angels, voices OF de-
parted spirits crying: Lift the warning.
Blow the trumpet. Give the alarm. Hoist

sacramental blessing. Well, my friends, it
would take more than night TO gather you
in circles around this altar. Tnen just bow

this is the last church that you will ever

Jacob the Patriarch, and Paul the aged,
make this house to you the gate Of heaven;

The Washington Star says: 9Th,
financial condition OF Italy, due in great
part to her armament as member of the
triple alliance, is very nearly as bad as il
can be. The failure of number OF banki
and mercantile houses and the uneasy
state of business in the peninsula, to.
gether with the slowness with which the
Government is able to contract the lasI
loan, show that she is in no condition to
insist upon unreasonable demands. The
moderate tone OF the Rudiui ministry,
therefore, in the negotiations with this
Republic is not matter of surprise, Italy
is that great power Of Europe which il
most uncertain of its footing among the
six. Others have age, diplomatic expert
ence, military and naval organization
that ia never to be effected in short
time and that economic grip which is the
mainstay Of every important nation. In
the present unsteadiness in European
politics Italy we'll sees that it behooves
her to be calm aud add no unnecessary
complication to those in which she is al
ready involved. There has been since
the days of Cavour aud the early period
of Italian unity something of decline in
craftsmanship, but it is safe to say that
the genius of remarkable people will
enable them to avoid the breakers

The Zuni Game Of the Kicked Stick.

All Is now ready; each rider has his
favorite side, an old priest rides in ad-
vance and sprinkles sacred meal over the
course, the starters kick the sticks, and
tho widest excitement prevails. As
each racer left his home he put into his
mouth two shell beads-the one he drops
as a sacrifice as he starts, the other when
he has covered about one half the course.
The stick is tossed rather than kicked,
and a good racer will toss it from eighty
to one hundred feet. Over the heads of
the runners it goes and falls beyond the
first man. He simply points to where it
lights, and ruus on. The next man tries
to kick it, but should he fail TO get
under 1t he goes on and the next man
takes it. The rice is not TO the swift
alone, although this has much to do with
it. The stick can in no case be touched
with anything but the foot, and should
it fall into u cactus bush, u prairie.dog
hole, or an arroyo, much valuable time is
lost in getting it out. Not infrequently
it happens that one side will be several

wild and frenzied yelling which takes
place as those who were behind come up

described. So skill in tossing it plays a
prominent part. On, on they 60 to the
southern hills, east to Ta.ai-yal.lo-ne,
north to the mesas, follow these west for
miles, ther to the southern hills, and
back again to the starting point. The
distance traversed is nearly twenty-five
miles and they pass over it in about two
hours. Racing is INDUCED in by the ex
cited horsemen as they approach the
goal, and it is not unusual to SEQ pony
