EVERY resident of this valley is
vitality interested in the construc-
ton of the North ano: South rail
road through the valley and on to
Nogales. The steps now being
taken to secure this result should
receive the encouragement of every
man who desires the progress of the
valley and the development of it's
resources. 1t is necessary that
every one considers himself respon-
sihle for the attainment of this
object. 1t is Il settled fact that
the road will be built sooner or
later. How soon will depend in a
great measure upon the people
along the line. And whether the
road will touch Mesa or any other
town along the line will depend on
the residents thereof. 1t is certain
that the whistle of the locomotive
will not disturb the dreams of those
towns which do not want the rail
road, or those whose people fall
back upon the ola busted chestnut

afford to leave US out. Every
resident of Southwestern Arizona
should use his utmost efforts toward
encouraging the speedy extension
OF the line.

that the action of the heart shows traces
OF fatigue. particularly in delicate young
women, who complain of vague sen-
sation of uneaSiness, sadness and even
o. pain, and are, in word, in a peculiar
condition that is not yet disease nor is it
health-much nearer the former than
the latter.
Diseases caused by dancing are COM
moner in women than in men. The
most frequent are laryngitis, particu-
larIy in women who talk great deal
while dancing; colds, bronchitis and
sometimes pneumonia aud pleurisy.
Dancing should be absolutely forbid
den in all cases of consumption, which
may assume very rapid form from this
cause; it is counter-indicated,a as we'll, in
all cases of heart trouble.
Physicians are unanimous in con-
demning dancing as it is understood at
present. but it might be made a hygieDio
exercise if it were executed in theopen
air and in the daytime. and if the
amount of the exercise were in proper
ton to the strength of the dancers.
Like all other bodily eXercises,it should
be used in moderation.

The Astors started about as low In

little slaughter house in pretty Ger
man town, whence he made periodical
circuits through adjacent towns slaugh-
tering pigs, calves and sheep for liY-
ing.
To this dirtiest Of all possible occupa.
lions John Jacob Astor was born and
bred.
What his grandfather may have been
history does not record, but the mental,
moral and social status of his Immediate
ancestors is we'll known.
To his credit it is recorded that the

somewhat from his fathers occasional
Jobs, for he was not even a settled per.
egrinator, and at a comparatively early
age he came to this country, where, after

MODERN DANCING.
p ernicious Effects of the Art as
Now PrnC tiCeI.

Now Prac ticed.
New York Herald.
The art of dancing, as praetIced by
the Greeks and Romans. was a useful
form of gymnastics that they held in
great esteem, regarding it rightly as
means eminently suited to develop the
organism. We must confess, however,
that in our times this art has degenerated
and can be called unhealthy in the
great majority Of caseS-I say in the
great majority of cases and not in all,
as dancing in the open air in the day
time may have decided merits. L his is
never true for balls given in rooms
filled with people, Overheated by a
quantity of lights, and with the tmos-
phere thoroughly poisoned by the very
causes without which a ball cannot be
brilliant.
1t is scarcely necessary to refer to the
dust of all kinds, to the innumerable
microbes that the dancers send flying
into the air, nor need we speak of the
untimely strain imposed on the organ
ism which, at time when it ought to
be at rest. is, on the contrary, over
excited. What greater mistake than
the most dnwhoesome things are
eaten and drunk? The guests bolt
in very short time food that is gener-
ally heavy and washed down with
strong wines, and this Is scarcely over
before the dancing is resumed, against
the most elementary rules Of common
sense and hygiene. Nor is this all; 1t
is not only the body alone that is con-
cerned, as the mind has its share in this
fatigue by the vivid emotions produced
by the conversation, music and flowers.

At this utterly nonunderstandable

buoys. instead of boats, as in the
old days-the end was connected
with the testing instruments at
the Office, and connection was estab-
lished between the electricians on shore
and those on board the ship. The tests
were entirely satisfactory. and the
Britannia turned her head toward the
west coast of Ireland, followed IN
short time by the Scotia. After the
Britannia had paid out the IT'S miles of
''intermediate" cable, one end of the
Scotla'S deep sea section was splieed to
it, and the ships went on toward Valen-
tia, near which harbor the other end of
the deep sea cable is buoyed. and after
the Scotia has made the "final Splice"
and the cable has been tested and found
In Perfect Order,
1t will be turned over to the Anglo
American Telegraph company. The
cable was made at Greenwich. near
London. by the old Telegraph Construc-
ton and Maintenance company, and is
considered the finest, as we'll as the
largest, cable ever constructed by that
or any other company. Although many
changes and improvements, have been
made during the past thirty years, nota-
bly, in the gear used III these cable
ships. for paying out' and picking
up cable. the form Of the cable itself
is practically unchanged since 1851;
only in weight is it different
| from the older cables. and the greater
| speed whicht his weight gives. 1t is not
! yet known what speed may be attained
over this new cable. With the first
| cables seven or eight words minute
was considered good speed, and now
| from fifteen to twenty can be easily
| done; so that it is not unreasonable to
expect from forty to fifty words a min
ute when the new cable is in active
/ service. Since 1878 the duplex system
! has been in use on all the long ocean
4 cables, by which message can be sent
/ and a message received on the same
| line at the same time. Then there are
the
"QuIck Time Messages
between the stock exchanges of London
and New York. The land lines and
cables are brought close to the build
ings, and it often happens that broker
| will telegraph an order and get a reply
! announcing its execution in less than
five minutes. Tue work is done in such
| a way that before a message is COM
pleted at one station, it is we'll on its
way to the next.
In constructing cables the great prob
lem has been to combine strength with
tleXibllity, and this Is accomplished by
winding five strands of Nj nilla yarn
saturated with preServative known as
Chatterton'S compound, and laid spiral
ly around the inSulatOr; over this is
wound ten strands of steel wire, then
more manila yarn and preservatlve,
and over all at the shore end are
wound fourteen strands of heavy iron
wire. The shore end OIL the American
side is two miles long and weighs
fifteen tons. per mile, then follows us
miles of intermediate, wei Ching five
tons per mile. and to this Is spliced the
''deep sea" cable, which weighs only
about two tons per mile. At the Irish
end of the cable the lengths and weights
| are somewhat different, the condition
being entirely unlike those at Hearts

weights used instead of three.
Twelve Cables.

There are now twelve telegraph ca-
bles across the Atlantic, and of these
the Auglo-American company owns four
and the Comm ercial Cable company
three.
In 1856 the Atlantic Telegraph COM
pany'S share of capital was $3.50, 900,
that being the estimated cost of the
cable between Newfoundland and Ire
land. Now five companies have CAPT.
tai of e12, 5000 invested In the At
lantIc telegraph trade, and the largest
portion of it belongs to the Ango-
American Telegraph company, which
alone has a capital of e7,000,0 900, and
which represents three of the five COM
panies.
Before the first attempt was made to
lay cable across the Atlantic, there
were hardly three hundred miles of
submarine telegraph cable laid; these
were in the straits between England
and France, and between the east coast
of England and Holland. Today there
are nearly 145, 900 miles deep-Sea cable
in operation.
Thirty years ago there were not four
cable ships in existence, and now there
are nearly forty, and all of them are
kept fairly busy laying and repairing
cable. During the past thirteen months
the cable ship Britannia has laid about
5000 miles of cable and completed over
500 miles of repairs; and this is the rec
ord Of single ship.

TWO VALENCIAN CABLES

This year two new telegraph cables
have been laid across the Atlantic, at a.
cost of nearly e1,000,00O sterling-the
Commercial cable. from Waterville, Ire
land, to Canso, Cape Breton island, and
the Anglo-American cable, from Valen-
cia, also on the west coast of Ireland, to
Hearts Content. Newfoundland. This
latter cable Is the submarine giant of
1894 for it is the largest telegraph cable
ever constructed, the core weighing no
less than $50 pounds to the nautical
mile; that is $50 pounds copper wire, or
core, and 400 pounds gutta percha COW
ering or insulator. Up to this summer
no telegraph cable had ever weighed
more than 400 pounds copper wire to
the mile. Then came the new Com
mercial," weighing $50 pounds copper
and 800 pounds insulator, and now the
new Anglo American cable, weighing
just 100 pounds copper to the mile more
than any other cable ever laid beneath
the waves. .o
Hearts Content, that quiet little har-
Dor, seems to have been designed for a
