GRlDDlED WITH CABLES.
The Whole World Linked by Submarine
Wires.
Especial correspondence


LONDON, Feb. 10-If all goes well. the
speed of cabling across the Atlantic will be
increased this year from IS words per min
ute to about q words per minute. The
Anglo-American Gable company will lay a
new Atlantic cable this spring, and the
weight of it's copper core will be about $50
pounds per nautical mile. Hitherto the
copper cores of the Atlantic cable have
weighed only 400 pounds per mile. All the
great ocean cables are composite ropes Of
metal, rubber and what not, several inches
thick, but the soul of the thing is twisted
copper wire, usually of five strands, the
whole only little over quarter Of an inch
in diameter. All the rest is mere clothing,
so to speak, insulation to protect the vital
current from contact with other electrical
conductors arnlor to protect the thin cop
per wire from damage by accidents of the
deep The rate of cabling, the number Of
words that can be sent from continent to
continent in minute, depends largely upon
the thickness Of the copper wire, and the
core of the proposed new cable is to be
thicker almost by one-halt than the cores
of other Atlantic cables.
The longest line of cable communication
now open is ordinarily covered in two hours.
1t was covered in one hour in the notable
case of a cablegram from Australia to New
York announcing the hanging of a MUIR
derer. The distance by cable and land lines
from New York to Nelson, New Zealand, is
about Is, 500 miles, and of this all but about
5000 miles is cable. Communication be
tween the two points is easily made in two
hours. But for the necessary repetitions it
could be to all intents and purposes instan-
taneous. The course of dispatch from
New York to Nelson is this: New York to
Canso, Nova Scotia; to Penzance, Eng
land; to Lisbon, to Gibraltar; to the is
land of Malta, in the Mediterranean, to
Alexandria; to Suez, Egypt; to Alden, Ara
bia; to Bombay, to Madras; to Penang, in
the Malay peninsula; to Singapore, at the
southern extremity of the peninsula; to
Batavia, on the island of Java; to Banjoe-
wangy, on Bali or Little Java; thence to
Port Darwin, on the northern coast of Aus
tralia: thence to Sydney via Adelaide, and
thence to Nelson. The line from Bombay
to Madras crosses India, and that from Port
Darwin to Sydney crosses Australia. These
are the only long stretches of land lines.
Great Britain is the cable center of the
globe. From the coast of England cables
radiate to all parts of the world. A dis
patch going east or west may be arrested at
the landing place in Great Britain md
switched in whatever direction seems best.
As matter of fact, there are many disturb
ances and interruptions in cabling, and
there are three or four ways of reaching
Australia and New Zealand from England.
If the break in the circuit lie between Glib
raltar and Alden, the dispatch may be sent
around the Cape Of Good Hope up the east
coast of Africa to Alden and thence as usu-

Religion for Young Men.

Shall speak of the beauty of holi-
ness in youth? l fancy that young men
are, most Of all, inclined to feel shy of
grave restrictions, to others of sort Of
cant. All very proper for divinity stu
dent, but for young man looking for
ward to the common work and pleas ure
OF the world, and rejoicing in vigorous
life-sh, wait awhilel And yet it is
that very life of vigorous youth-youth
with it's keen sense of life; youth brave
and skillful in manly sport; youth just
entering on the strong work and strong
tempt .tions of the world-it is in just
such life that earnest, unaffected re-
ligiousness brings the very finest grace
of real manhood. 1t would not make
him weak, but gentle and helpful with
his trength; it would not lessen pleas
ure, but keep it sweet and wholesome;
the very merriest laugh that comes
ringing to me through the halls of men,
DRY is that Of one of my early friends
who always seemed to me the most like
Christ of all L ever knew. Religion
earnest, unashamed religion-does not
make young man less brave but more,
adding to more nerve and pluck that
finer courage which can stand up
squarely against wrong, say Mop to
profanity and dissipation, and say it 80
as to be respected. And so, to the
whole opening life, religion gives a
richer zest, finer appreciation of all
thing great and good, and that interest
in higher things which keeps bringing
to the front the strong and helpful men
of each new generation.-Rev. Brooke

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS,

They surely have in them power to gently
touch every heart and TO soothe the weary
1t is but one OF the many beautiful forms OF
the story of lie lived according to faith in
Cod
Rock Of Ages cleft for me"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung;
fell the words unconscously
FROM her girsh, gueless tongue;
Sung as little children sing;
Sung AS sing the birds I'm June;
Fell the words as light leaves down
On the current of the tune
Rock of Ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
Felt her soul no need to hide
Sweet the song as song could be-
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedngy
Fell from lips untouched by care.
Dreaming not that each might be
on some other lips prayer
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide my self in thee"
Rock Of Ages cleft for me"
Twas a woman sung them now;
Sung them slow and YEARLY
Wan hand on her aching brow.
Rode the song as storm. tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air:
Every note with sorrow stirred
Every syllable prayer
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Let me hide myself in thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tendery;
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim
Let me hide myself in thee"
Tremblingly through the voice and low
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river in its flow;
Sung as only they sing
Who lifes thorny paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me"
Sung above coffin lid;
Underneath all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrow hid,
Never more a storm.tossed soul
Never more from wind and ii e,
Never more storm tossed soul,
wilt thou need to hide
Could the sightess, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft, white hair,
Could the mute and stifened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
STILL aye, still the words would be-
Let me hide myself in thee"
