THE FIRST CABLE.

1t Was simply Naked Core with No Pro
tectinx sheath.
In modern cables III. core is always
protected first by serving of hemp Or
jute and then by an outer sheath OF soft
steel wires. which are relied on 10 FUR
rish the mechanical strength which the
,ble must have in order that it may
stand the pulling about which ii re-
ceives in laying and repairing. But
in the pioneer trial there was no idea
of a protecting sheath; the naked core
was to be laid in the channel to form
the first telegraph between England
and France. There was but n single
wire of copper inside, according to the
Saturday Review nowadays there Is al
ways u strand of several wires twisted
together), and this was covered with
gutta percha SO thickly as to bring the
diameter TO half an lnch. The covered
wire was wound on a great reel on the
deck of steam tug III Dover harbor,
and after a number of preliminary trips
the line WAS laid on the 23d OF August
1850. Lead sinkers We're attached at
every hundred yards to carry the cable
to the bottom, for in the absence of any
heavy sheathing its specific gravity
scarcely exceeded that of sea water.
The attempt was at once made TO open
communication, but though signals
seemed to pass nothing could be made
of them, and Mr.. Smith records that
the operators at each end were regret
fully forced TO the conclusion that those
at the other end had been lunching, not
wisely, but too well. Next day matters
were worse, no signals could pass at
all. The cable was broken. and SO end
ed this first attempt at submarine tel
egraphy.
The signals of the first day had been
unintelligible, not because of any breach
OF continuity on the part of the cable or
failur, in temperance on the part of its
guardians, but simply in consequence OF
electrostatic induction, the influence of
which in rs.ar~Ing the electric pulses
was nat rlcn understood. 1t was to

thousand four hundred feet, or more
than two miles, commanding vast

SO numbed that he was becoming un-
able to feel the cords. Then" says
Lieut.. Mansfield, finding my apparatus
all clear, | took the balloon ring in
my right hand, drew myself clear of
the trapeze and dropped down into
space" After descending with terrible
velocity for some distance the para
chute began to open. At ten thousand
two hundred feet he was falling at
great speed, but was fully able to con-
troll the apparatus. At ten thousand
feet he was sailing down calmly into
space. Then he drifted to and fro in
various counter currents, and at one
thousand feet exactly felt the heat
from a long, red, iron chimney. Now
comes the more remarkable part of the
narrative. steering my parachute" he
continued, ito the eastward, | dropped

count OF straining the eyes till he was
just able to discern tiny white speck
on the blue sky. After what seemed Il
terrible length of time, Lieut. Mans
field became visible swinging under the
parachute, and working the valve lines
so as to insure a safe landing when he
chose TO make it. "Such a complete
master of the air, says the eyewitness,
has never been seen before in this cOun-

Effective Use of a sign Language In Sen
fencing Prisoner
Once upon time, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner. there was a judge
named Redman, who presided over
big territory, which kept him racing
from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San
Luis Obispo. The Spanish population
was the chief race to be found i'll that
district, and Redman knew but two
words in that language, which were
''No tiende, " and was put to the neceS-
sity of employing a court interpreter,
who attended him in his rapid tour of
the big circuit
1t happened that a murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended, miles
away. on the same day. Redman's in
terpreter had gone OFF 10 a fandango in
the wilds somewhere and could not bc
found when court was opened and Red
man was in fury of impatience. At
last, when he could endure the delay
no longer, he said to the man below in
the dock:
Prisoner at the bar-stand up
mo tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidity.
You don't savey, do you?' exclaimed
the Judge Sharply. W ell, uO you uh-
derstand this?" and he proceeded TO
gesticulate vigorously with his hands
and indicate the motion OF rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffiy in his seat.
Prisoner at the bar it Is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
a7th day of June next, be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, and may
God have mercy on your soul. Now,
do you savey that"
The poor prisoner shook his head in a
bewildered fashion, and could only cry:
NO tiende, no tiende."
lis there anybody present in this
court who can translate that awful
sentence to this prisoner" demanded
the judge of the half a dozen OF officials
and spectators in the room. They were
in the same boat as the prisoner, and
could only shake their heads mourn
fully.
Well" exclaimed the judge. n bright
thought striking him: In just show
you, then. this way" whereupon he un-
reeled a yard OF red tape that lay on his
desk, and, twisting il hurriedly about
his own neck, held the two ends high
over his left ear, At the same time roll
ing his eyes and wagging his tongue
down against his chin.
a dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the
court room. They understood the grim
judicial kindergarten completely.
