The discovery of the principle OF the
manufacture of satin was pure accident.
The word "satin," which originally was
applied to all silk stuiis, has siuce the last
century been used to designate simply
those tissues which only present lustrous
surface. The discovery was made by a
silk weaver named Octavio Mai. During
dull period of business one day he was
pacing before his loom, not knowing how
to give new impulse TO his trade.
As he passed the machine each time he
pulled short threads from the warp, aud
following an old habit put them into his
mouth and rolled them about, soon after
splitting them upon the floor. Later he
discovered u little ball Of silk upon the
door of his shop and was astonished at
the brilliancy OF the threads. lie repeated
he experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in giving satin to the world

A BRITISH CABLE.

The London Pest of Oct. % ha.
lengthy and very serious editoria
on Pacific cable. In the course o
the article the Pest says:
"Mr. Chamberlain since his arrival a
the Colonial Office has always beer
anxious to put the Pacific Gable schem,
upon business footing. Long ago he
saw that the various ways of regarding
the undertaking by the countries inter.
ested were likely to imperil its success.
and when the opportunity offered he
has not been slow to act.
THAT the undertaking will be more ex
pensive than was at first supposed may
be gathered from the fact that the Ha-
wailan Government have entered into
an arrangement with an American sub
iect to construct cable from San Fran
cisco To Honolulu. Ii will, therefore. b.
necessary to carry the first link from
Vancouver to flaming Island, and III,
greater distance cannot but increast
both the initial cost and the expense oil
repairs, while the loss of Hawaiian sub
sidy and their custom must necessarily
add TO the expenditure. At the SAINT
time, the fact that the cable by tho
change of route will now pass entirely
through British territory should not be
lost sight of, since for the purpose OF
Imperial defence the alteration will
make tine communication all the more
sery,ceable Ii may he that the private
project will not be the commercial sue
cess that is anticipated, and it is by n,
means certain that the United State,
will pay a subsidy Of any kind. But in
amy ease a branch line could ALWAYS ne
