WAKE ISLAND.
Uncle Sam VIII Take Possession of
IL for Use as n station for
New Cable.

Washington, Dec. 24.--The govern
ment has determined to hoist the flag
over another island far out in the Pa
cific ocean, and orders were sent out
late Friday afternoon to the commander
of the Bennington. Capt. Taussig, to
proceed at once to take possession In
the name of the United States govern
ment OF Wake island, lying in latitude
10 north, longitude lG6 east. 1t Is dis
tant about 1000 miles from Nihau. the
westernmost of the Hawaiian islands.
and 1900 miles east from Guam. 1t Is
almost In a direct line between these
possessions of the United States and is
admirably adapted for use as station
for n Pacific cable TO connect the Phil
iPpines with Hawaii and the United
States. 1t is about three miles In
length and incloses lagoon of sal.
water. The average height Of the is
land is eight feet above high tide. 1t
Is scarcely capable in itself of sustain
ing life, but il Is expected that n cable
station can be maintained without diff
fculty by the erection OF a condenser
TO supply fresh water. Some station
in this locality is deemed TO be absolute
ly necessary 10 the maintenance OF
cable. and for that reason the American
peace commissioners at Paris endeav-
ored TO secure one Of the Caroline is
lands. but without success. Wake is
land Is said TO be by right already

fitting the Earth Over.

From Invention.
NJ Fouche, the vice president of the
French Astronomical Society, has invented
a way of altering the present inclination
Of the earths axis to the ecliptio. What
he wants to do It for is not very clear.
Perhaps, however, he doesn't want to do
it, and merely puts forward his method as
one possessing a purely academic interest.
At all events, it is worthy of the attention
Of company promoters.
All that has to be done is to dig an enor-
nous circular ditch, say, in Africa or South
America OTIS center must be on the eQua-
tori, and to fill 1t with sea water. Fresh
water will do II you can get enough Of 1t,
but as the radius of the ditch is to be few
hundreds Of miles, that il hardly likely.
Having got your ditch full of sea water,
nothing remains but to make 1t race round
and round In the trench, whereupon the
earth's axis will begin to point toward Diff
ferent quarters Of the heavens from those
1t indicates at present. The amount of de-
ditch. the amount of water 1t holds. the
speed at which the latter moves, and the
time during which the motion is kept I'D.
We may suggest to M Fouche that when
g. sufficient sphere of French influence hek
been secured In Africa, he might have q
trench dug, and then by its use get all the
ice melted round each Of the present poles.
French explorers could then discover them.
whereupon the action Of the trench would
tions restored. France could then remain
as long as she wished the only nation to
have reached the celebrated points on the
earth's surface, AZ the digging Of the ditch
will be very expensive, we make no charge
for this suggestion.
