May be Cut Onat Cape Cod by Government
Authority.
Officials OF the state department at
Washington and Of the attorney gen.
erals Office have been comforting re-
Gently relative to the French cable
which lands at Cape Cod.
The cable was first laid under au-
thority given by the president through
Secretary Evarts in 1879, and recently
the French company has been replac-
ing this line with new copper cable.
This met with opposition, and Senator
Frye introduced q bill to prevent the
landing OF cables without the assent Of
congress, while Senator Nelson after
wards offered another bill leaving the
question with the president. Neither
bill passed congress.
Through the summer work on the
cable has progressed steadily, and in
formation received at Washington in
dicates that the last link In the line
will be completed in mid-ocean in
about ten days.
The question before the state de.
partment and the attorney general has
been as to the right TO land the cable

Mr. Darwin few years before his
death made the nonsclentiflc world
familiar with the work Of worms In
passing earth through their bodies,
and with the wonderful results effect
ed by them In comparatively short
space OF time. More recently 9.
Dawson has followed up Mr.. OAR

ence. Last year Mr. DAVIDSON exam
lined the lands between Holy Island
and the coast OF Northumberland a
large fat stretch of BEACH familiar to
most persons who travel by the east
coast route to Scotland. Theobserv-
er found that the number of castings
of sand thrown up by the lobworms
gave an average OF $4,000, 900 to the
square mile. A portion Of the cast
ings was weighed and the total weight
thrown up annually was thus shown
to be, In some places, about 901 tons
per acre; ut other points 1t was a
good deal less than this, but In still
other parts it amounted to no less
than 3,145 tons per acre. II all the
sduu tluS pdooVu UuuOuSu ChV WI iSo
OF these animals la the course OF
twelve months were spread out 1t
would give an average thickness Of
not less than thirteen inches. How
many and various are the changes
produced in the sand by the wonder
full activity Of these industrious
worms 1t is impossible to say. But 1t
is easy to see how the presence OF
such creatures in large numbers ope-
rate with other forces TO produce a
kind of order on the surface of the
earth, and to replace crudeness by
beauty. The thing that strikes one
