the reason that he incurred no risk in

Right after the war I went to Texas

We leased and stocked an extensive cat

me to the nearest market and, as it was
too soon for the p~rejudioes between the

talk nothing but business.
But enc day in the hotel an ex-colo-

SUBMARINE GABLES.
The Difficulties Encountered IN Sending

The D~s1icuttiss Encountered IN Sending
Messages Mt q Profitable Speed.
i. submarine cables can now be
made Of any length ait. IL comparatively
small cost, great difficulties are sill d
counteref in sending messages at q
commercially profitable speed, ard these
difficulties increase with tie length Of
the line. In long cables there is j trou-
blesorle reta-datlon Of the electric Cur
rel due to the fact that the Insulating
cover or tie copper strands becomes it.
self electrified, and this surface charge
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent at the beginning Of any signal
from rising rapidly t its maximum
and again from rapidly dying out. The
consequence OF this is that while from
400 to eco words a minute can be sent
over q land line, the maximum speed
on an Atlantic cable is somewhere about
81 words a minute. Before the sssiphoa
recorder" and Lord kelyin's curb
sender were invented. the maximum
speed was eight or ten words per min
ute. ClrioEsly enough, the mere perfect

is this retardation. and slight leaks in
this covering often increase fer the
tine the lines working capacity. The
corrosive action Of the salt water is ac-
tive &C such points. however, and will
soon cause q break in the cable.
Professor Silvanus P. Thompson Of
the Royal society Of England has in
vented a system Of cable construction
BY which he expects not only to increase
the capacity Of the present lines, but TO
make practicable the covering ef the

North America. His plan is to make a
cable with VIZ separate conductors in

miles he viii introduce stretches of
cable with three such conductors. the
third being a wire of high resistance,

Of artificial and protected leak. One end

is e multiply four CT 1--WE times the

From the Republican. Fresno. Cal.
A case reported from Fresno county is

Mr.. ]. NJ -Purves as an old gentle
man of 10, who, during his long resi-
dence in Kingsburg, was beloved alike
by young and old, and he is equally en-
deared to the people Of his new home
1t was about July 10, 1895, that a
reporter of the Republican met Mr..
Purves, and was astonished to see such
improvement in his appearance. He
looked ten years younger and much
stouter than when he moved away from
Kingsburg for the benefit of his health,
and he was congratulated on his i'm
proved appearance.

like an old clock that is worn out, but
l have undergone such repairs as
think will keep me in running order
for many years to come if no accident
occurs"
"What was the agent that wrought
the change, Mr.. Purves," the reporter
asked. "Was it Pink Pills? they seem
to be doing all the healing in Fresno
county"
Pink Pills are the very things that
have built me up" Mr.. Purves an
swered. 81 happened to read one of
the advertisements Of their healing
qualities, and then read several more,
and somehow there was something in
the way the testimonials read that as
sured me they were true One in the
San Francisco Examiner especially i'm
pressed me, and L sent at once and
bought some OF the pills. l took them
as directed, and l do not think need
tell you what they have done for. me.

the journey OF life at least twenty years.
