DID A SUBMARINE RIVER BREAK
THIS CABLE?

break in tho cable laid between
the Senegal coast of Africa and Per-
namhuco in Brazil five years ago has
led to an extraordinary discovery. re-
lated recently by Mr.. Benost to the
Institution of Electrical Engineers.
The cable was as fine one as modern
methods could devise, yet after three
ncLths it broke about $50 miles from
the African coast, it was repaired and
broke again. 1t was then found that
at the place wher the break occurred
there was a great deal of vegetable
growth resembling river weed; that
the color of the sea was a dirty
brownish green, indicating the pres
enee of fresh water; and birds
feathers. pieces of orange peel, scraps
of carpet and bits of brentwood We're
drawn from the bottom of the ocean.
The phenomenon was purely local, as
the nearest river was seventy-fiye
miles away and discharged its waters
in different direction. It was sur
missed that it meant the sudden break
ing through of a submarine river, and
the cable was moved to a distance;
after two years it broke again and was
moved once more, and engineers are
waiting to see what viii happen. Sub
marine rivers are known to exist in
ether parts of the ocean, off the
mouth of the Congo and in the Gulf
of Carpentaria, for instance. This eX-
PLANTATION, however, does not account
for the carpet and the orange peel.

strictions against all those not coming

speech on the depressed condition of
labor but he was soon diverted from
his theme by Mr. Chandler The latter
assuming smile of mock gravity,
directed the discussion toward Clave-
lands administration. This in time
brought from Mr.. Tillman a vehement
criticism of the late president, while
Mr. Chandler protested against these
assaults Gu Mr.. Cleveland by a member

I Tennessees Pluck Shown IN Her Fire

One of the most inspiring lessons
of the Centennial Exposition lies in
the pluck displayed by the men and

While wheat was choking the bins
of the elevators, corn burning as a
substitute for soft coal, and the pred
atory pig regarded only as an en-
cumbrance and a thing of misery :;
when railroads were defaulting on
their deferred bonds, their preferred
stocks provoked only ironical laugh
ter, and the roads themselves were
thereatened with that total collapse
which someone has aptly described
as two streaks of rust and mort
gage; when that pest of n fly with
the silver wings shadowed one half
of the Republic, and the bug with
the golden tail was about to devast.
ate the other; when a rattling find
of exploding banks was kept up
along the main line of commerce,
followed by a series of lesser deton-
ations whenever and wherever the
connecting wires of their mutual in-
terests or caamities carried the
disastrous current when tariffs and
iutreventions and floods and labor
riots were followed by smokeloss
chimneys, motionless hywheels, and
silent looms, and all the horrors of
idleness hung over the land like II
cloud from out which could be
heard mutterings of the coming
storm, cyclone that would sweep us
into the nowhere of desolation !;
when all these several calamties
overwhelmed us, then it was that
