Longest Cable Ever Constructed

The new cable now building for the
French Cable Company will be the
longest ever constructed-3,250 nauti-
cal miles. The conductor will have a
casing of thirteen strands, requiring
$4,000 Kilograms of copper, while the
wrapping will take S45, 900 Kilograms of
raw gutta percha. The strands of gal
vanized steel which form the first ar
mature will need 1861, 900 Kilograms of
steel, and it will be necessary to have a
further sheathing of iron to protect the
parts of the cable submerged near the
coast. For this purpose 1,495,O0O kilo-
grams of iron will be needed. In all,
the total weight of the cable for the full
length of 5000 kilometers is estimated
at the enormous figure of 10,976,350
Kilograms. The cable will be laid be-
tween Brest and this city this Summer,
four steamers being required for the
work.-New York Times.

kinpfisher and Swordfish Fight.

George Craft witnessed a fierce bat
tie between kingfisher and a sword
fish at Lake Mahopac, New York
The battle lasted for at least fifteen
minutes, and when it was over the
combatants were both dead. The
king6sher was flying over the lake
looking for prey, when it was seen to
make quick dive into the water. In
few seconds it appeared on the sur
fact with a swordfsh.
Both were fighting fiercely. The
swordfish plunged his long, sharp
beak repeatedly into his opponent,
while the kingfsher attempted to
strangle it's quarry. The water was
churned into foam during the struggle.
Finally it was observed that the
swordfish was about exhausted. Sud-
denly, however, it made a terrible
lunge at it's enemy and the battle
was over. Both fighters lay dead on
the surface of the lake New York

MINE OF BLUBBER,
The Stranding OF 500 Whales in the
Straits of Magellan.


Toward the end of last September
m enormous school of a species of
whale called the Gazing whale ran
ashore in Teal inlet. Teal inlet is a
small creek one and one-half miles
long, opening into Port Salvador,
which in turn opens into .-e South
Atlantic by a very narrow opening.
1t was my good fortune, writes George
Hewlett, surgeon of the royal navy,
to see some hundreds of these whales
on the beach at the time of my visit.
One morning whirlwind appeared to
be approaching over the water in the
bay OF San Salvador, and soon this
was made out to be an enormous
school of whales, so thick that they
seemed to be jostling each other, moth
ing but fins and tails, and the water
In foam all around. This was on
flowing tide, and they came in the inlet
itself, describing a sort of cycloidal
curves, until the inshore part of the
squadron took on kelp reef and then
a sudden panic seemed to seize them
all, and the unfortunate animals came
up the inlet full speed, with the see
boiling in front of them and a great
wave coming after them, and they
piled up in hundreds on the beach.
Then, as there was a rising tide,
they got off again, but only to charge
the opposite beach, and so Oh till the
falling tide and loss of strength left
them high and dry all around the
dreary bay.
Very few, old or young, lived more
than quarter of an hour after their
stranding. By evening, after that tide
had ebbed, there were only five whales
afloat out of more than 500 that had
been afioat that morning, and by the
next morning only three were to be
seen, and they swan around and
around for awhile, and then, as if dis
daining to live when all their compan-
ions were dead, they made straight for
the beach, and in few moments they
also had passed forever out of exist
ence.
Circumstances made it impossible to
use the blubber. Some of the bodies
have been burned; they burn like
great oil shed. The spring tides for
tunately floated others up and down
and dispersed them. One cannot help
regrettlng that ship load of the say.

A Standard Joke With the Cavalry.

The United States cavalry officers
have one standard joke which they play
on the infantry whenever the two
branches of the army come together.
For instance, says a correspondent,
happened recently to be a guest at a
dinner in Omaha, the hosts being
some twenty cavalrymen and as many
infantrymen. When one of the latter
attempted to speak he was interrupted
at a critical point by a cavalryman,
who said to the guests: Gentlemen,
excuse me one moment. l must order
my horse Then turning to the in.

Where We Cat Corks.

The cork oak is said to grow and
even thrive in America, but the ma
terial obtained is such an inferior
quality that all attempts to raise it
here have been abandoned in favor of
the product from Southern Europe.
Spain and Portugal produce the best
corks. The finest cork oak forests
are found in the interior of these
countries, those near the coast being
liable to the attacks of parasite
which quickly destroys them.
The trees are not barked until they
are fifteen years old; after that they
can undergo the spoliation every three
years without detriment. A strong
healthy tree will yield it's bark for $50
years. The season for stripping the
tree is in the summer, and the work
gives employment to large numbers of
men, who can earn on an average
about sixty cents day. The process
of manufacture is simple. It consists
of boiling the bark in sheets to thicken
and make it more elastic, after which
the corks are stamped out of the
sheets. All over southern Europe
many articles, such as cof1ins, kitchen
pals, pillows, shoes, boots and drink
ing vesses are made from cork. The

WEIGHING AN ENGINE.
Curious Test Recently Applied to :Fa.
nous locomotive,

nous Locomotive.
A peculiar scientific experiment has
been made with the famous engine $40,
of the New York Central Railroad, at
the shops at West Albany. Some
months ago this large engine, which,
in the opinion of many well-informed
railroad men, excels even the famous
999, was taken into the shops and COM
pletely overhauled. 1t was taken apart
completely, and every part of the en-
gine, from the massive driving wheels
to the very smallest bolt and nut, was
separately weighed. The heavy por-
tions were weighed in the shops and
the small parts were taken to a Water
vliet avenue pharmacy, where they
were weighed on the pharmacists
scales.
The greatest care was taken by the
machinists under the direction of Mas
ter Mechanic Buchanan to see that the
weighing was accurate. When every
part of the engine had been weighed
a force of the best skilled mechanics
was put to work to reassemble the en-
gine. When it was complete again it
was put into active service.
A short time ago the engine was
taken back to the shops and mechanics
were put to work dlssecting it again.
Once more every part was weighed.
The scales of the pharmacist we're
brought into service again. When
every portion had been weighed the
record was compared with the former
one. Then Master Mechanic Buchanan
knew just how much the engine had
lost in weight through the wear of
a known amount of work. The rec
ords of the weights of the separate
parts showed whicn parts were sub
jected to the most wear.
The test cost many hundreds of dol
lars, but the New York Central was
willing to spend the money in order
that it might be able to know what
parts of an engine wear out most quick
ly and in what ratio the several parts
wear out. The exact figures have not
been made public. There is no doubt
that they will be interesting to me-
chanics aud scientists.-Albany, N. Y,
