Some Facts About Lent,

rfoLn Tue be4IoWS ais W u llnes
The fast of Lent "a Saxon word sig
nifying the Spring. is of 40 days con-
tinuance, during the six weeks which
precede Easter, this latter day occur
ring on the first Sunday following the
first full moon after the vernal equi-
nox
This annual fast of 40 days has been
observed from very early times-be-
fore the fourth century-in the Chris
tian Church in commemoration of
Christ's 40 days fast and as a season
of special penitence and preparation
for the Easter feast. 1t was made
obligatory by Orthodox Greek and
| Oriental churches and by Roman Cath
| Ollie, Anglican and Lutheran churches;
it is also made profitable exercise by
many members of other churches.
That this Lenten fast is of ancient
| date is noticed by the fact that writers
of primitive days spoke of the custom
as well known and established one
| which has been sanctioned by apostle
lie authority.
Ash Wednesday derives its name
from the ashes which in the ancient
church were at this time thrown upon
| the penitents whose sins had debarred
them from participating in her servi-
| ces.
Among the reasons which induced
the church in primitive days to set
4 ;o1 GrSf
would be ''that having the subject of
their Lords sufferings thus brought
more vividly before them, they might
be induced to mourn His loss with
greater earnestness." Realizing how
easy it was to neglect duty for which
no special time had been set apart for
| it's performance, it seemed wise to fix
a stated time in which to especially
fast and pray.
Many different ideas as to the prop
er observance of this season are ad-
yanced. AS it is evident that a tenn
porary retirement from the pleasures
and the hustle of busy life is helpful
and almost necessary to the physical
health of all, SO should this 40 days of
meditation and prayer enable the
spirit to throw off the worldliness
which has been almost insensibly
growing upon it and strengthen the
soul for the onward course. Self-ex-
animation, self-denial, charity and all
those virtues and graces which go to
make up holy and beautiful life here
below are to be especially cultivated.
"All religious feelings therefore are
kindled up, and our habits of prayer
and devotion are quickened into exer-
else. And in this active, busy age,
when outward excitement has taken
the place of earnest, holy contempla-
ton, how necessary becomes any dis
| cipline, which can thus withdraw us
from the things of time and sense!"

fact. absorb it all if given the chance
The cable is, therefore, insulated, but
this desire to return to earth is strong
er than the resisting power of the in
sulation; therefore, while the latter
holds the current partially intact, the
gutta Dercha or other covering of the
cable is filled with innumerable stray
lateral currents all seeking to escape
to the surrounding water.
With such a state of affairs it would
be simply impossible 10 operate a sue
cesion of makes and breaks in the cur

come by operating two keys on the
soundeT instead of one, as in ordinary

Thus by depressing either key an i'm

CABLES OF THE WORLD.

No Atlantic cable runs directly to
New York City at the present time
Most of the transatlantic lines land
in the neighborhood of Nova Scotia or
Newfoundland. The messages are re-
transmitted by a coast line to the me-
tropolis. The interval of time required
in the retransmission is not one sec
ond, for the operators read the mes
sages letter by letter as they arrive
and send them over the coast cables in
stantly. The new French cable to be
laid next year will, however, have its
terminus directly in New York City
It is expected that the competition thus
engendered will greatly enhance the
general service. The coming congress
sional agitation over the installation
of Pacific cable will also revive inter-
est in scheme which must quicken the
general process of civilization. The
japanese commercial awakening will
certainly receive a further impetus
when this cable is laid The whole
East, in fact, will be benefited. and in
cidentally our foreign commerce. AL
ready there are over 900 cables living
under the sea and the various water
courses of the world. They aggregate
over one and quarter million miles
OF cable line. A large feet of steamers
and an army of men are kept busy
laying and repairing them. so that al
together the cable industry is a large
business in itself, even aside from the
which are sent over the cable
wires.

on the tape, and without any attempt
at slang a man is known by his curves.
Some operators white plain hand,
others send a message that is equiva-
lent to what in ordinary life would be
called very bad manuscript If an
operator gets into a rage and violently
bangs his keys the fact is known to the
men at the other end of the line, and
he is prudently laughed at, in another
hemisphere. In the old days, long dis
lance fights used often to occur, but
talk on any private matter between
operators is now strictly prohibited by
the various cable companies.
HOW A BREAK IS LOCATED.
Sometimes a cable will break at the
bottom of the sea, or some other fault
will prevent messages being sent
through. Although the line extends
through miles of drift and over leagues
of ocean bed, the system has been re-
duced to such a nicely that the loca-
ton of the fault is only matter of lit
