SUBMARINE CABLES.

The Difficulties Encountered In Sending
messages st Profitable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made of any length and at comparatively
small cost, great difficulties are still en-
countered IN sending messages at a
commercially profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length Of
the line. IN long cables there IS a trou-
blesome retardation Of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that the insulating
cover of the copper strands becomes it
self electrified, and this surface. charge
delays messages b preventing the cur
rent at the beginning of any signal
from rising rapidly TO its maximum
and again from rapidly dying out. The
consequence OF this is that while from
400 TO coo words minute can be sent
over land Line. the. maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable IS somewhere abort
80 words minute. Before the 'siphon
recorder and Lord Kleiyin's .'tcurt
sender were invented, the maximum
speed was eight or ten wcrds per min
ute. Curiously enough, the nlcre perfect
the cables insulation may be the greater
is this retardatien, and slight leaks in
this covering often increaso for the
time the lines working capacity. The
corrosive action. of the salt water is &C,
tive at such points, however, and will
socn cause break in the cable.
Professor Silvanus p Thompson OF
the Royal society Of England has in
vented a system Of cable construction
by which be expects not only to increase
the capacity>6f the present lines, but TO
make practicable the covering of tie

cable with three such conductors, the
third being a wire of high resistance.

Realism In literature.

1.-THE movement for realism in htera-
lure has given to the best current fiction
q verify and value as a reflection of the
times that the novels of no other era
possess, writes Droch- in The Ladies'
Home Journal ''This is not saying, by
any means, that orr novelists are great
er than any of previous epochs. But
never before could a reader Of fiction ac-
cumulate a vivid, true and varied pic
ture of so many sides of human nature,
so many conditions OF actual life. It
therefore broadens the HORIZON of a jul
dicioug reader in way that books Of
travel never did. It ought TO and often
does broaden the sympathies of the

and nationality are broken down, and
there is q more charitable. Judgment Of

WHAT WE INHERIT

We are net to blame for. We con-
not BE- held responsible for the dis
positions and tendencies which we
derive from our ancestors, nor are
we responsible for the germs of dis
ease which may manifest themselves
in our blood as heritage from form
er generations. But we are respon
sitle II we allow these germs to de-
veiop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
sIroy our happiness. We are respon-
sibIe if we transmit to our descend
ants The disease germs Which 1t is
possible for us to eradicate by the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease.

Ger, and yet when | suggested the

dumb. DO you favor a bounty

And if so you should point out
how the bounty is to be paid, and
how it is to reach the producer

Gent for a statement to deal with
