NAPOLEON Of THE CABLE
SIR JOHN FENDER AND THE SUB
MARINE LINES.
Active in the Interest More than Thir-
ty Years Ago-Last of Group of
Notable Men-Thirteen Cables.

The death of Sir John Fender re-
moves the last of the fathers of the
great Atlantic cable. Cyrus w. Field,
the original promoter of the cable SER
vice, who sought Sir Johns assistance
and advice in the matter more than
thirty. years ago, died in 1892, and of
body of men who saw the cable SER
vice grow to completion, Sir John
Fender alone remained.
Sir John was rightful.y called the
Napoleon of submarine telegraphy.
His efforts to bring all parts of the
world, civilized and barbaric, into al
most instantaneous communication
with each other were appropriately
rewarded by England. Queen Victoria
bestowed upon him in 1888 a Knight
Commandership of the Order of St
Michael and st. George, and four
years later she promoted him to the
Grand Cross of the same order.
After Cyrus w. Field had interested
the Briton in the possibilities of ocean
telegraphy Sir John turned all his at.
tention in that direction. Through
him the Atlantic cable was finally laid
after disheartening annoyances. Their
followed his efforts which established
the first cable in India. He was at tn,
head of the Gibraltar, Malta and Sue;
lines. He established communication
with the Levant. BY his untiring eff
forts Australia and China were con
nected Geographically with Great Brit
ain. and later he instigated the Soutl
African and Hawaiian cables. He wa
chairman of thirteen of the leading
cable companies of the world. Thes,
facts will give some conception of 81
John Pender's life work, and also o
his enormous wealth.

QUITE POSITIVE.
A Politician Who Says His Party Is
Doomed to Certain Defeat.

Judge Leicester Holme of New York
has recently visited San Francisco.
He has been on a tour of the world
since June 1894 His journey en-
Egypt, India. Ceylon, Japan and
China. The Judge was associated
with President Cleveland and Freder-
lex X. Coudert, the noted attorney, in
the Board of High Bridge Commits
sioners and was Judge of the New
York City Court for many years.
Speaking of the political issues be-
fore the country, especially in view of
his experience in the East, he asserts
in the most emphatic manner that the
free silver issue is certain to bury the
Democratic party.
"Though Democrat" he said, II
would rather see the Democracy beat
en- on such platform than witness
the disaster to the country which it's
success would involve.
THE Republicans, he continued,
"if they have adopted gold platform,
have stolen Grover Cleveland's thun-
der and are bound to win. The free
silver craze is the EXTREMIST folly. In
the East they weigh the silver instead

To Run the Gantlet.

''To run the gantlet'' originated in
Germany and travelled thence to Eng
land, finally becoming domesticated in
America In both the German and Eng
lish armies and navies, about the time
of the settlement of America, running
the gantlet was punishment for mis-
demeanor, the soldiers Of a company or
regiment being placed in two lines fac
ing each other, each man armed with q
switch. The culprit ran between the
two files and received upon his bare
back the switches Of his comrades. An
officer stood by to see that the punish
ment was properly enforced, and any
soldier who failed to do his duty was
himself liable TO make the journey be-
tween the two files. The Indians along
the coast Of Virginia are said 60 have
observed this punishment inflicted upon
some sailors of AN English man-of-war
and Immediately adopted the idea for
torturing their enemies. Hence came the
belief that the punishment or torture
was peculiar TO the aborigines of North
America

AS 70 capital cost, water power plant
Of modern design and suitable fer quite
small falls may be constructed 1T c19
to $50 per horsepower. For large in
stallations the capital cost is but e10 or
so. The steam engine on a similar basis
would cost $50 TO e25, and Dowson's gas
engine system about Ell. AT moderate
efficiency the water power will involve
a working expenditure of about e3 to "a
per horsepower per annum, the steam
engine of Is and the Dowson gas engine
of e6 los, assuming the engine TO be
worked 5000 hours in the year. In
working an electric light station the
efficiency OF the steam engine is low,
for reasons which need not be discussed
here, so that it is apparent that, given
a fall, power can easily be got for the
same capital outlay as for other motors,
in some cases for much less, while the
working cost is only one-half Good
