Some of the instruments for detecting breaks
and injuries to the cable are extremely in
tereSting. For example, a machine has been
devised for registering the amount of resis-
lance the current meets with in passing
through the cable This resistance is divided
into units called ohms, and the number of
ohms per nautical mile for any given cable
is readily deduced from the total re-
sStance and total mileage. If the insula-
ton of the cable is torn off by dragging
anchors. contact with the bottom, or the like.
the current at that place ceases to have re-
SStance. and by dividing the resistance which
remains by the number of Ohms per mile the
exact place of injury is known. Some in
stances of extraordinary speed in cabling are
recorded. One case is mentioned in which

CARE OF THE COLTS FOOT.

IF a colt shows tendency to walk
on the heel or frog, rasp the sole
towards the toe to take away the
thickness. If the foot is worn at the
toe and the heels have become too
high, they should be lowered with the
rasp. When the edges or rim of the
hoof has grown leaving the frog and
center hollow, the edges should be
rasped. The more frequently the foot
is put in proper shape the more likely
it is to grow into that shape. New

'Owney" the famous tramp mail dog
that started from Albany. N. Y, four
years ago and has travelled almost con-
tinuously during that time. The dog
travelled for two years in the east

peculiarities is that he will not ride any
where but in a mail car, and he will not
stay more than one night in a car.
Owney is a Scotch terrier and is about
eight years old. To his collar are at.
tached q large number Of tags orIbadges
bearing unique inscriptions. The dog
traveller came TO st. Paul Tuesday over

Assembly by the Committee on

Reports of the Various Presbyterian
Boards Given to the Public
They Show.

WASHINGTON. May 20.-After some
routine business Of no general interest
had been disposed of, ex-Moderator
Young projected into the proceedings
the first cf the important questions be-
fore the Presbyterian general assembly,
the report of the committee upon the
relation of the assembly and theological
seminaries. 1t covered the history and
metl.ds pursued by the committee IN
the progress of its work and as well as
the history of the relations OF the as
semb)y and of theological s~eninaries,
beginning with the organization OF the
institution at Princeton, which ac-
k~nowledged the general assembly as its
patron and source of power and au-
thority.
The report in its appendix furnishes
full information respecting the plan OF
organization and methods of manage
ment of the various institutions allied
to the church.
DR.. Young surrendered the floor to
Elder Thomas McDougall Of Cincin-
natl. who largely drafted the repor,
which was the unanimous expression oil
the committee.
Might BE More Diplomatic.
Mr.. McDougall said that he believed
the time had come when the genius oil
the Presbyterian church should be al
least equal to the executive ability dis
played in ordinary business, and that Il
any teacher employed for a specific pur'
pose at a specific salary, should for any
reason become unfit to discharge his
duties, d way might be found to dis
pense with his services without split
ting up the church. [Applause.]
When Mr.. McDougsll had finished
MI. Roberts moved that the report b
approved and that the committee b
continued. Finally, after a passage be
tween DR.. Young and Professor Brown
q vote of thanks was extended to thu
committee for its diligence, and it wa
continued for further labor. The as
