| ownership of Tie wires connecting the
executivs departments with the bust
ness world. Each of the executive de-
| partments has TO pay the annual *
! penses of its own telegraphing. and
they amount to many thousands Of dol
lars. For example, this government
! paid $50, 900 for cablegrams during the
| complication with Chill; and the ex-
pcnse was about equally divided be-
tween the navy n state departments.
The entire correspondence upon that
topic was tclegraphed In cipher codes
Of the two departments.
While each of the executive depart
ments must pay large annual telegraph
bills out of its own appropriation, the
expense Is particularly felt by the state
department, because all Of the diplo-
matte correspondence is carried on by
catlegrams. Inasmuch as the navy
department uses the cables freely for
communication with our warships,
that department expends very nearly as
much for electric service as the depart
ment of state. The secretary of war Is
in constant telegraphic communication
with the generals commanding our
military departments, and the expense
is quite large, but, of course, much less
than either the state or navy depart
ments. The post Office department, in
terror department, agricultural depart
nent and department of justice have
very little use for the telegraph. as
compared with the other four depart
ments, but the treasury depart
mcnt usually keeps a telegraph opera
tor busy during every official day, com
municating with collectors and other
agents of the big department.
The navy department has "A chart of

note how the bed of the ocean is COW

Gated lightning. Ten submarine cables
connect the continent Of North America
with European countries. Boston and
New York are each the terminus of
three Of these cables. South America
is connected with Europe by two cables
running from Pernambuco. Brazil, to
Lisbon, Portugal. The entire CONT
nents OF Africa and South America are
surrounded by submarine cables. They
do not string wires on poles in those
countr cs along their coast lines, but
use cables altogether.
The weather bureau and hydro
graphic office use the telegraph for the
purpose of receiving reports from
trained observers, SO that predictions
of storms may be made and telegraphed
TO the world. The cable line to Ber-
muda, that island which lifts its crest
from the waves far out In the ocean
where hurricanes and cyclones begin,
has given news in ample time to save
maritime property from destruction by
those terrible, whirling, rushing storms
which follow the line of the gulf stream
and so mercilcssly attack our merchant
steamships. BY means of the Bermuda
cable the photographic Office has re-
ceived valuable information in time to
save human life ms well as property.

tural department uses the wires for
