and obtained some remarkable results has
been in New York ever since, located at No

photographic apparatus for the PURPOSES

A LEAkY CABLE.
Superintendent Miles Advises the Use
of Poles Instead.


Superintendent Miles of the District tele-
phone and fire-alarm telegraph service has
called the attention of the Commissioners
to the underground cable from his office
down 1-2 street to Virginia avenue south
west. This cable carries the fire alarm and
important police and school telephone wires
and has got into such a leaky condition
In consequence of the insecure and cheap
method of construction that 1t is no longer
reliable for the important work expected
over its twelve conductors. and UPON
which the safety of South Washington de-
pends- Several hundred dollars, he says,
were expended in repairing the cable few
years ago. and to put it in a fairly good
condition at this time would involve an
expenditure of from $1,000 to 5000 and
even then, he says. it would not be relia-
bic, owing to the fact that IL was laid only
about eighteen inches below the surface
in a pine box, which rotted away years
ago. 1t was put down, he says, only as
an experiment. In his Judgment. he says,
1t would not be advisable to further repair
this cable. but instead erect a good line Of
poles from the rear of his Office along IL
street to Virginia avenue. terminating at
No. engine house. This would cost about
s4I5. and he has funds on hand to meet
the expense.
The Commissioners have some doubt as to
their authority to permit the poles

The jews and Christ.

The Jews were not responsible for the
punishment of Christ. The crime of which
Christ was accused was not punishable by
death under the Jewish law; crucifixion was
not Jewish method of inhicting death
and in the time of Jesus the Jews had no
jurisdiction over life and death, because
Judea was a Roman province and under
Roman rule. The Jews had voluntarily
spread themselves over all the face of the
then known world long before Christ came
upon earth. All nations. all peoples recog-
nlZed supreme power. Almost all peoples
nad an intermediate savior. If Jesus Con-

much pleased TO learn that the permanent

refuge station for the whalers in Northern
Baffin bay. AS l have pointed out in INV
annual reports and in the paper which
read before the committee on hfe-sayiny
systems and devices of the late interna.
tional marine conference, the need of such
stations is often most severely felt on un-
inhabited shores, such as those of eastern
Florida, where shipwrecked crews though
able to land, are exposed to starvation
This same need is urgent on the inhospit.
able ARCTIC shores. AS You are aware. ;he
United States government has RESPONDED
to this want by erecting at Point Barrow
Alaska, station, which Is a safeguard 10
the whalers for many miles to the cas-,

glad to know that the whalers of Bafiin
bay are hereafter to enjoy a similar ad-
vantage"
