Paper Cables Under Water.

For many purposes paper, next to
Wire, is an excellent Insulation, and it
has OF late come extensively into use in
telephonic and other cables. But it is
not generally known that such an insu-
latlon has been tried under water. This
IS, however, the fact, and one such cable
is now doing excellent work at the bot
ON OF the Hudson river at New York,
right II the track of all the domestic and
seabonnd traffic. OF course the cable is
lead covered and otherwise protected, but
1t depends fer its Insulation, electrical
ly, Oh thin spirals Of paper around each
stranded interior wire. The laying of
such q cable i'll such a place might, a
few Years ago, have been considered lit
tie short Of suicidal, but experience has
demonstrated the perfect practicability
of the scheme. In considering the Law
ing q such cables IL such situations tho
TACT IS important that a 100 pair, paper
insulated, lead covered cable can be
bought for 80 cents a foot, while the
rubber insulated cable would probably
cost lot less than s3 per foot, While,
Inquired ca the basis Of cqaal electrical
effectiveness, the price would be 50 or
lo0 to l III favor of the paper cable.

AN FRESHMAN AND a JEW.
A business Partnership That Has Been En-
tireiy satisfactory.

A business Partnership That Has Been En-
tireiy satisfactory.
There is an up town business firm
one Of the members Of which is an Irish
man and the other il Jew. The Irish
man was born in Cork and the Jew in
Cracow. They have been III partnership
for several years. during which they
have built up q fourishing business.
The Irishnan is beardless; the Jew has
q flowing black beard. The Irishman is
Of the type Of Rory O'Moorc; the Jew
is Of the type of Moses.
They arc . mutual admiration pair,
and each has q solid respect for the
other. Tho Irisillnan is a rare wit: the
Jew is solemn as the Talmud. The Irish
man has a fine Corkonian brogua; the
native speech Of tho jew is the Polish
jargon, which he mikes with his Eng
lish.
The Irishman looks after TIE firms
finances; the Jew attends to the buying
and selling. The Irishman is a strict
Catholic and goes to church on Sun
day; the Jew is vigorously orthodox
and goes to synagogue on Saturday.
The lrishman is ''pudgy;" the Jew is
lean. They agreed never to talk upon
religion, about which they disagree;
but, as the one is a bimetallic Democrat
and the other o Democratic monometaI-
list, they can always find subject for
friendly argument.
The IrisEiman is older than the Jew,
but the Jew is taller than the Irishman.
Both the Irishnan and tho Jew have
large families, and the children of both
attend the same school. Most Of the off
spring Of the Irishman are girls, and
most Of those of the Jew are boys.
The favorite tipplo Of tho Irislman is
ale, and that of the Jew is wine. The
Irishman is quick tempered; the Jew is
slow to wrath. These two business part
ners, Il of them from Cork and the
other from Cracow, have carried Oh
their establishment successfully for
years in this city, have divided the
profits evenly every quarter, have never
had a quarrel that lasted more than a
minute and have made enough money
to raise them above the cares of life.
Surely they deserve to grow rich.-New
York Sun.
