SUBMARINE CABLES.
Tho Difficulties Encountered In Sending

Tho Difficulties Encountered In Sending
Messages at n Profitable Speed.
While submarine cables can now be
made Of any length and at comparatively
small cost, great difficulties are still Gu
countcred i'll sending messages at q
commercially profitable speed, and these
difficulties increase with the length OF
the line. In long cables there is trou-
blcsome retardation of the electric cur
rent, due to the fact that tho insulating
cover of the copper strands becomes it.
self electrified, and this surface charge
delays messages by preventing the cur
rent Mt tho beginning of any signal
from rising rapidly to its maximum
and again from rapidly dying out. The
consequence of this is that while from
AGO to 500 words minute can be sent
over land line, tho maximum speed
Oh an Atlantic cable is somewhere about
W words minute. Before tho 'siphon
recorder" and Lord Kelvin's Curb
sender wcro invented, the maximum
speed was eight or ten words per min
ute. Curiously enough, tho more perfect
the cable's insulation may be the greater
is this retartlation, and slight leaks in
this covering often increase for the
timo the lines working capacity. Tho
corrosive action of tho salt water is nc
tive at such points, however, and will
soon cause break in the cable.
Professor Silvanus p Thompson Of
the Royal society of England has in
vented system Of cable construction
by which he expects not only to increase
tho capacity of the present lines, bat to
make practicable the covering of tho
y, 500 miles which separate Hawaii from
North America. His plan is to make q
cable with two separate conductors in
closed i'll the same armor, so MS to form
complete circuit, and every 100 or 100
miles he will introduce stretches of
cable with three such conductors, the
third being wire of high resistance,
the purpose Of which is to act rs sort
OF artificial and protected leak. One end
OF this third wire will be connected with
the positive conductor and the other
with the negative one. By this device
the static charge on one wire will neu-
trallzo that on the other, and all retarda-
ton will be avoided. Tho expectation
is to multiply four or five times the
number of words now sent over Atlantic
cables, TO increase to 70 OF 80 the 12
words Fer minute that could be sent
over single core cable to Hawaii, and
raise from Is to 75 tho words sent from
London to Cape Town.-New York

Military Trainlng-what Is TIP

Some persons are Of opinion that it is
not wise to cultivate i'll tho young, by

troduced into private schools it is with

certainly i'll these, as we'll rs i'll our army
and naval schools. great pains should be
taken to Undue the pupils with desire
to excel ip those qualities and character
istics which belong to truly brave sol
diers. One might imagine, from feading
the accounts of what is called "hazing"
i'll tho schools, that the object was to
produce an army of brigands who would
insult an unarmed traveller, or kill any
one carrying money. Persons Of refined
the practice should ever be thought
amusing. Boys either stronger or more
i'll number than their victims arc cow
ardly enough to assail them when they
cannot defend themselves and adopt
somo means Of terrifying them CT inflict-
ing pain. Can such men ever grow up
into gentlemen ready TO defend the OPP

from cruelty 10 Il vi;nquishcd enemy if

these outragos. If they cannot, they ere
unfit to train boys. Some initiation cere-
monies can bc devised which are neither
coarse nor brutal A good joke, which
should be one to please both parties, is
illustrated hy the following i;nccdoto:
