Brazil has been puzzling how to estab- fish telegraphic communication with the rubber region on the Rio Negro, one of the affluents of the upper Amazon. It has beeh found impracticable to maintain a land line 1900 miles long through an un- developed region, and every attempt has failed. The ingenious idea of laying a ca- ble in the river has solved the difficulty. The length of the cable between the coast and Manoas. the capital of the depart ment of Amazonas, is 1865 miles.

The Boston Advertiser makes a sensi- ble suggestion: "It is to be remembered that the United States has comparatively an unusually long coast line to protect. While England, for example, can afford to enter upon a long continued policy of land defense against maritime invasion, the United States is not in a position to spend at once $1oo, ,OOO, 900 or so for coast defense. It has been suggested, therefore, that a much smaller sum expended in the direction of first-class monitors might prove equally efficient to protect the United States from invasion A fleet of fifteen first-class monitors could protect the port of New York from any invasion, from even that of the British navy"
