a NETWORK OF OCEAN CABLES.
Submarine Wires About Everywhere in the
World Except in America Waters.

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 form, occupies twenty large
and closely printed pages. The ca
bic map OF the world Lrepale ed 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-ffth ! arallels.
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 it's
widest, by several cables, and the
waters Of the West Indies are becom-
ing thickly netted with short cables.
Coast communications in tie 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 more thoroughly equipped
with Geographic lines than any 9TH
er in the world, has 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.
i he navy Of the United States,
however, has done a 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 Las devised an in
geniolIs case for deep sch thermome-
tiers and also improved a thermomc-
ter frame invented by an Italian na-
val officer. The navy department.
has also issued an elaborate treatise
for the proposed Pacific cable route.

does rs is Mr.. Il. b. Aldrich. AS a
M ltter OF fact, Mr. Aldrich always

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 a corner OF
the MSS, and 1t is paid. What de-
lightful aspect of literary success this
presents. A few weeks ago an editor

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

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 wed or pledge, and ring was
placed on the maiden's right hand,
where 1t remained until marriage,
and was then transferred 10 the left.
During the reigns of George 1. and
George Ill. the wedding ring was oft
en- worn on the thumb. The placing
OF the ring Cd book is 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 witness, who retained the
third part. In Germany, Sweden,
Norway and Denmark it was COM
mon custom for the engaged couple
each to give to the other a plain gold
ring much resembling 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:
If 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 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 IersCn Of the Trinity, "leav-
ing it," as the rubric directs, on her
fourth finger at the word amen, thus
signifying by action, not less than by
word, that he was undert aking the
duties OF the married state. "in 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-
lieved to be 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 right hand.
