A NETWORK OF OCEAN CABLES

Submarine Wires Abound Everywhere in
the World Except in American Waters.
The world Is now so Melted with
cables. great and small and new ones
are laid so frequently that there is
much demand for the services of the
cable-laying ships A list of the worlds
cables, long and short, set down in
tabulated form, occupies twenty large
and closely printed pages The cable
map of the world prepared by the
United States navy department shows
that the Mediterranean is thickly net
ted with cables west of Malta So il
the north Atlantic between the thirty.
eighth and fifty-fifth parallels. The
North sea. the Red sea. and the Ara.
bian sea have many cables. The only
great unabridged spaces are the Pacific.
the south Atlantic, and the great
stretch of the Indian ocean between
Madagascar and Australia There is
no considerable cable north of Stock
holm or south of Nelson. New Zealand
The Black sea is completely 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
becoming thickly Melted with short
cables
Coast communications in the United
States and Europe are maintained
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 It thus hap
pens that this country. although more
thoroughly equipped with telegraphic
lines than any other In the world, has
comparatively small amount of cable
within her own waters This may per
haps account 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, how.
ever has done vast deal for the art of
cable laying. Commander Sigsbee has
invented q highly effective sounding
machine for ascertaining the depth of
the ocean-an absolutely necessary
preliminary to cable laying. Lieut.
Commander L Tanner. of the navy,
has devised an ingenious case for deep
sea Thermometers and also improved
Thermometer frame invented by an
Italian naval officer. The navy de-
partrnent has also issued an elaborate
treatise on cable laying, and made
soundings for the proposed Pacific e.

that large amount of gold had been
shipped from California to Washington
and that 1t would pass over that brsnch
OF the road in its route thither.
Their scheme was self-evident, and
set Jack to thinking more deeply than
ne had ever done in his life. He tried
to loosen his hands. but in the dark
ness he could accomplish nothing.
just at that instant an opportuhe flash
OF lightning revealed to him the blessed
fact that in their haste his would

on the cord with which his hands were

pay him another visit before the arrival
of the train. He knew it must be almost
midnight and the movements of the
rogues outside convinced him that they
were preparing for the work they had
come to do.
Through the window he could see
that the red lantern had been swung
into position, and after little he heard
them pacing restlessIy up and down
the platform as though growing impa-
tient The clock in the Office had struck
twelve at least twenty minutes before
a PARKWAY whistle announced the APP
proach of the tardy train. Immediate
~ there was cessation of the monoto-

later, with a rumble and roar and hiss
ing of the air brakes, the train drew up
to the station. The next moment
the command Of Hands up!"
was followed by the report Of
several revolvers fred simultaneously,
and Jack, throwing aside his cords,
rushed out just in time to see his half
dozen midnight visitors marched into
the baggage car at the point ia dozen
revolvers leveled at their headA In
the midst of the babel of voices that
followed. Jack found out that Lizzie
had succeeded in stopping the train
and that with the aid of volunteer pas

were not prepared for the volley of
balls which had greeted them as they
attempted to board the train. Two of
them were wounded. and the other
four, seeing that it was no use to re-
sist, had quietly surrendered.
Brave Lizzie was given into the care
of her brother. and in spite of her pro-
test purse of ffty dollars. raised by
the grateful passengers. was thrust
upon her. After the train had started,
Jack locked the station securely and as
the two walked home together they
agreed to say nothing about their ex-
perience to their mother until she was
well and strong again Consequently
the first intimation she had of the dam

The next move was 70 take on his
shoes so as to make no noise in moving
around. Still. with his freedom re-
gained he was unable to accomplish
anything, for the outside door was
locked and the key was on ring with
other keys hanging on q nail in the
Office.
He began feeling about to find ut II
there would be any chance of raising
the window, when he almost stumbled
over the small table where his little
old-fashioned instrument sat He tried
the circuit and finding it complete de-
termined, III spite Of Lizzie's known
cowardice, to ask her help.
She was sound sleeper. but his one
hope was that she might have been
walked by the storm and so be made
available as an assistant. His con-
lecture was correct and almost imme-
diately the circuit was opened and the
response came.
Then as rapidly as possible he made
known the situation at the station and
asked If she would 60 down to che
cut, q quarter of mile distant and sig
nal the train. The reply was In the
affirmative. and there was no indecision
in it either.
Then he flashed back:
"Put piece of thin. red flannel
around the lantern, 20 down to the
deep cut and swing your red light
across the track as soon az the train
rounds the curve. Keep 1t up until you
are sure it has been seen, and when the
train stops go to the conductor with
the news have told you. Be as quick
as possible, for it is almost traintime,
and If you are too late there will be
bloodshed."
'All right" returned Lizzie. '11l be
of inside of three minutes" and, cow
ard though she was, she kept her
promise. 1t was very dark, still RAIN
ing hard when she slipped quietly out
of the back door of the cottage. not
wishing to disturb her mother, who
was just recovering from an attack of
fever. ltwas still laundering in the
distance. and every fash of lightning
made her shrek and cover as If
wounded by the glaring sheet of fire.
But in spite of her terror she did not
slacken her speed. and reached the deep
cut just as the headlight of the approach
ing train began to glimmer around the
curve beyond.
Faithfully she delivered the message
committed to her and then fell fainting
at the conductors feet As soon as she
revived a little he gave her into the
care of some of the lady passengers,
aud few minutes later the train was
again in motion. ready for the antici-
pated attack
As soon as Jack was sure that Lizzie
would carry out his instructions he
wrapped the cord loosely round his
hands and feet again, aud lay down in
his old position, not wishing to excite
suspicion in the breasts of the robbers

Wichita Needs a Union Hall.

Notwithstanding the great pro-
gress our people have made in this
prosperous city, one very important
thing is overlooked. That is hall
owned and controlled by our people Z.
Every time a society desires to give
an entertainment, they have to rent
hall at big price, after they have
paid all expenses, the net profit will
be very small. Our opinion is, if
some of the great leaders of the city
would get together, get upa nice sub
scriptiOn paper, it would be subscrib-
ed to literally. We are willing to
give our part. We are quite sure
there are many of our people who
would subscribe from 5000 to $25 90.
The white business men would do
nate very literally also, Once get
the thing on foot, the rest is easy.
Just think what a good business a
large hall on the second floor, and a
nice barber shop, bathroom and
laundry all combined would be, We
believe this to be very beneficial
move to our people, and will do all
in our power to keep it moving.
