This will be a great year for Ocran

Of this cpble will weigh CSC pounds per
knot, while hitherto no cable has had q
conductor weighing so much I'd QUO
pounds per knot.
The Atlantic cables have conductors
weighing 400 pounds or less per knot.
Many short cables have cores weighing
as little as lG7 pounds. Cables 1850
miles long on the east coast of Africa
have cores weighing $50 pounds TO the
knot.
The heaviest core is that Of the Frcn,h

1t is 2.242 miles long aud weighs ass
pounds per knot. The estimated cost
tor making and laying long cables is
about 81. 200 per knot. The cost of the
proposed Pacific cable will be somewhat
greater because. it cannot be monufac-
tured in the vicinity.
The total length. exclusive Of TAO knots
already laid in Australasian waters, will
be about 1900 knots. making the total

Bnt Or Ne nas In an Antifat Diet Profes-

Speaking IN a paper ON the subject Of
the various diet curos for fatnesa the

rocily at least, TO make fat I'm The body.
Fat Is, on the other hand, a valuable
addition to the diet Of q corpulent per-

All we know about fat points to it as

the very rapidity Of tie reduction is an
argument against its safety. Besides,
