SUBMARINE RIVERS.
That Strangely Break Through the
Oceans bottom.

That Strangely Break Through the
Oceans bottom.
A break in the cable laid between the
Senegal coast of Africa and Pernam-
buco, in Brazil, five years ago, has led
to an extraordinary discovery, related
recently by Mr.. Benest to the Institu-
tion of Electrical Engineers. The cable
was as fine one as modern methods
could devise, yet after three months it
broke about $50 miles from the African
coast; it was repaired and broke again.
II was then found that at the place
where the break occurred there was a
great deal of vegetable growth resem-
bling river weed; that the color of the
sea was a dirty brownish green, indicat-
ing the presence of fresh water, and
birds feathers, pieces of orange peel,
scraps of carpet and bits of driftwood
were taken from the bottom of the ocean.
The phenomenon was purely local. as
the nearest river was rs miles away,
and discharged its waters in a different
direction. 1t was surmised that it
meant the sudden breaking through OF
a submarine river, and the cable was
moved to distance; after two years
it broke again, and was moved once
more, and engineers are waiting TO see
what viii happen. Submarine rivers
are known to exist in other parts OF
the ocean, off the mouth of the Congo
and in the Gulf of Carpentaria, for in
stance. This explanation, however, does
not account for the carpet and orange

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
JAPANESE JOURNALTsM.

The remarkable thing about lUhe Japa-
nese papers is not that they are so
meagre in every department, but that
they exist at all. The first Japanese
newspaper was published in 1872. by
John Black, an Englishman, who found
ed the Nisshin Shinji Shi. Before that
there had only been occasional terror
sheets, which the ''yomi uri''-the ma
tive chapmen-hawked about after a
particular ly bloody murder or catastrO-
phe, such as a great fire, flood or an
earthquake.
Blacks paper was followed by others,
among them the KwampO, or Official
Gazette; the Toxic Shimpo, and the
Kokai, semi-Official; the Mai Nichi
Shimbun. the Yomi Uri Shimbun, and
the Ubin Hochi Shimbun, all Liberal;
the Jiu Shimbun and the Ninkin Shim-
bun, Radical; the NihOn and Chusei
hippo, Conservative and anli-foreign;
the Fuzalxu GwdahO, an interesting illus
trated record of manners and customs,
and the Maru Maru, a comic paper in
spired originally by Punch.
All these papers use the written Ian
guage, which differs from the spoken
language both in it's grammar and its
vocabulary. Basil Hall Chamberlain,
an Englishman, who is professor of
japanese and of philosophy in the I'M
perial University of Toxic. says that
the Japanese are still in the condition
Of Europeans of the twelfth century:

derstand the daily paper when it is
read aloud. nor even the ncte he has
just asked his native clerk in his office
TO write and to send up to the house,
announcing that he will bring up a
friend to 'tiffin.
Speeches are taken down in short
hand, but are almost always translated
into the written language before they
are printed. The one exception to 'Jhe rule
is the Record of Parliament speeches
wherein the words are published just as
they were uttered. When this Record
first appeared the rural members wer;
filled with CONSERVATION, fer there they
