A NETWORK OF OCEAN CABLES.


Submarine Wires About Everywhere In the
World Except in America Waters.
The world is now SO netted with
cable, great and small and new ones
are laid so frequently that there is
much demand for the services Of the
cable-laying ships, says the New
York Sun. A list Of the worlds
cables long and short, set down in
tabulated torn, occupies twenty large
and closely printed pages. The ca
ble map of the world prepared by the
United States navy department shows
that the Mediterranean is thickly
netted with cable west of Malta. So
is the North Atlantic between the
thirty eight and fifty-ifth parallels.
The North Sea, the Red Sea. and the
Arabian Sea have many cables The
only great unbridged spaces are the
Pacific, the South Atlantic, and the
great stretch Of the Indian Ocean be.
tween Madagascar and Australia.
There is no considerable cable north
of Stockholm or south Of Nelson,
New Zealand. The Black Sea is COM
pletely girdled by land lines and
crossed by one cable. The Gulf of
Mexico is crossed, though not at its
widest, by several cables, and the
waters Of the West Indies are becom-
ing thickly netted with short cables.
Coast communications in the Uni
ted States and Europe are maintain
ed mainly by land lines. but in
Africa, South America, and much Of
Asia the same thing is maintained
by means of long or short cable loops.
1t thus happens that this country,
although moro thoroughly equipped
with Geographic lines than any 9TH
er in the world, has a comparatively
small amount Of cable within her
own waters. This may perhaps &C
count in part for the fact that cable
making is only just beginning to be
an important industry in the United
States.
The navy of the United States,
however, has done vast deal for the
art of cable laying Commander Sigs
bee has invented highly affective
sounding machine for ascertaining
the depth of the ocean-an absolute
ly necessary preliminary to cable lay
ing. Lieutenant Commander l. Tan
ner OF the navy has devised an in
genio,ls case for deep sea thermome-
tiers and also improved thermome-
ter frame invented by an Italian ma
val officer. The navy department
has also issued an elaborate treatise
Tor the proposed Pacific cable route.

ANCIENT HISTORY.
The Chicago Evening News Tells OF the
Rise OF st. Louis.

/, The Chicago Evening News Tells OF the
Rise OF st. Louis.
ST. Louis now claims a population
of 5000 which, il supported by
figures, makes the Missouri metrop-
oils the fifth in size of the large cit
les of the United States.
st. Louis was founded in the year
1901 B. C. by protoplasm who was
off his feed and didn't care what he
did. Having started the place, how
ever. he didn't feel like leaving and
did not leave until he discovered that
it was no place for live, go-ahead
proto-and he left AS nothing was
ever heard of him afterward, it is be-
lieved by eminent authorities that he
went up into the Ozark hills and
kicked himself to death for having
doomed such town.
About the twentieth century, b.
c. the late Mr.. Chedorlaomer made
an expedition to ST. Louis and up
to the day of his death he regretted
it. In his memoirs he says: of all
the dead, past-due burgs that | ever
honored with my presence ST. Louis
takes the cheese" Mr.. Chedorlaomer
was a close observer and knew what
he was talking about. The next per-
son Of note to visit the town was
Shalmaneser in the year 70l B. G.
He mistook it for national GENE
terry and did not stop off, but pre-
ceeded on to Keokuk, Iowa.
The town wabbled on with indiffer-
ent success until William the Con-
queror's time, when some live bust
ness man built morgue and then
it began to grow. Abe Slupsky's
discovery Of the Mississippi in 1421
gave the town boom and the census
of 1925 gives it population Of l05.
When5it is recalled that only 4,500
years before all that there was of ST.
Louis was protoplasm this rapid
growth is fraught with interest. Dur
ing the last 500 years its progress
has teen trifle slow but steady.
Mr.. Chedorlaomer would scarcely
recognize the ST. Louis Of to-day. 1t
has several business blocks, post
Office and railroad lands freight and
passengers within walking distance
OF the town pump. Travellers be-
tween the north and south stop off
for lunch. In business it is retro
spective. Abe Slupsky is the most
prominent citizen.

posscssor of rare personal attractions
Miss Washburn is also gifted with a
goodly amount Of sound American
common sense, and in almost no time
she had mastered enough of the in

Gets His Own Price.

Though Mr.. f. Marion Crawford
probably earns more money by his pen
than any other living writer he is
perhaps not SO well paid in proper
tion to the amount Of work that he
does as is Mr.. T. B. Aldrich. AS a
matter OF fact, Mr.. Aldrich always
puts his own price on his work, and
he is always sure Of getting it. One
magazine of New York City takes
everything that he sends it. He
simply writes the price in corner OF
the MSS, and it is paid. What a de-
lightful aspect Of literary success this
presents! A few weeks ago an editor
wrote to Mr.. Aldrich: Won't you
please drop poem into our slot and
draw out as much money as you want
for it:' Mr.. Aldrich dropped dozen
lines, as directed, and drew out $40"

WEDDING RINGS.
Used by the Greeks and Romans I'm he
trothal.

Used by the Greeks and Romans I'm BE-
trothal.
Wedding rings were used both by
the Greeks and Romans, but then
only at the ceremony of betrothal
and not that of marriage, says the
Westminster Review. The Anglo
Saxon bridegroom at the betrothal
gave a we'd or pledge, and ring was
placed on the maiden's right hand,
where it remained until marriage,
and was then transferred to the left.
During the reigns Of George l. and
George Ii. the wedding ring was Oft
en- worn on the thumb. The placing
of the ring Oh book is a remnant of
the ancient custom of blessing the
ring by sprinkling holy water in the
form Of a cross, and this is still done
in the Roman church.
One of the earliest forms of rings
was the gemel or double ring, and
this was used as a pledge before mar
riage. They were generally made in
three parts and broken in the pres
ence OF a Witness who retained the
third part. In Germany, Sweden,
Norway and Denmark it was a COM
mon custom for the engaged couple
each TO give to the other plain gold
ring much resembling a wedding
ring. In the last century wedding
rings were frequently inscribed with
posies. DR.. John Thomas, who was
bishop of Lincoln in 1853, married
four times The motto or posy on
the wedding ring at his fourth mar
riage was:
II l survive
I'll make them five.
King Henry VIII. gave Anne of
Cleves ring with the posy,
God send me we'll to keep
1t was a general custom in the
middle ages for the bridegroom to
place the ring first on the thumb Of
the bride, then on her second finger
and then on her third, at the name
Of each person of the Trinity, "leav-
ing it, i" as the rubric directs, on her
fourth finger at the word amen, thus
signifying by action. not less than by
word, that he was undertaking the
duties of the married state, ain the
name OF the Father. and of the Son
and OF the Holy Ghost" The rea-
son assigned for the fourth finger be-
ing appointed as the final resting
place OF the wedding ring is because
on that finger there is generally be-
slieved to be Il certain vein which pro-
ceeds to the heart. The left hand
most probably was appointed because
the virgins espoused TO the church
wore the ring of their celestial nup-
tials on the ght hand.

for, strange to relate, the boy has q

With the help Of German, who

Wcllington's Political Life.
In 1927 Wellington's political life
in England began, and early in the
following year George Nv. called on
him to form Il ministry. Though Il
member of the Tory party, it was to
Wellington'S credit that he was the
first English premier to yield any
thing to the Liberal side. The test
and corporation acts, which bore
hardly against members of the
Established Church. were repealed
and the removal of Catholic disabili-
ties. another outrageous measure,
was suggested. Wellington, for all
his liberalism, would not give his
consent to reform Parliament, and
this caused strong feeling against
him and he was forced to resign. In
1884 ne was again offered the prem
iership, but declined, though he ac-
copied the foreign portfolio under
Sir Robert Peel He resigned this
Office in a few months and hencefor-
ward took no prominent part in the
civil government OF the country.
The rest of Wellington's life was
passed less before the eyes of the
people. He held many distinguished
posts to be sure and his advocacy Of
the bill repeating the corn laws in
1916 did much to pass the measure,
but still he sought privacy even more
and more. September IA, 1857, ne
was seized by an apoplectic fit, very
suddenly. and in a few hours he was
dead. All England sought to honor
him in his funeral, which was NEST
