Testing an Atlantic Cable For Leaks.
When the insulated strand, or the
core" of the cable, as it is hence
forth called, passes from this opera
ton, it must go to the testing room
to determine if the insulation is
really perfect, or if little electrici-
ty still can escape from the copper.
ItwOuld be useless to make this test
in the air, since even without an in
sulator the current does not pass
readily into air. Il must be tested
under water, in the medium in
which it is to be employed. Shallow
tanks filled with water receive each
section, and after section has lain
"a hours in the water in order to
come to the same temperature as
the water the test is applied. If the
effect which ought to be produced
on his galvanometer by passing in
to the core certain quantity Of
electricity does not result, the cleo
trician knows that there is flaw
and that the insulation is imperfect
that is, that the electricity is es-
Gaping.
There is nothing that can be
measured with more accuracy than
electricity. The laws which govern
its flow in a body are perfectly un-
derstood. The electrician knows
how much he pours in. He can draw
1t out, measure it, treat it, in short,
as if it were water in pipe. "A leak
in an electric wire is dealt with al.
most as q leak in water pipe and
can be located quite as exactly.
When once located, it is easily re.
paired. .-McClure's Magazine.

- To work and live only for one 8
self will by no means promote happi-
ness. On the contrary, it is source
of intense misery. The secret of many
joy]ess life, which has gone out into
bitterness, suicide or insanity, may be
found in the selfishness which domina-

DANCING TURTLES
The Curious Training to Which They Aro
Subjected In tho Fer East


Subjected In the Far East.
The spectacle of an old, bearded
man, with long, tangled locks. dress
ed in fantastic costume, attracted
the attention of passersby one day
in one Of the large seaports of ia
pan. Some said he WIS an Aino
pointing to his long hair and beard,
and that he was bear worshipor
from Nagasaki.
The old man stood on tho deck of
q houseboat quite as disreputable as
he himself appeared and gavo an
exhibition thrawas i'll every respect
remarkable Heie held an old brass
drum, upon which he beat with sew
eral sticks, keeping time with his
foot, and in obedience to this strange
summons number Of common high
back river tortoises of various sizes
crawled out OF box, and, forming
themselves in line, began to march,
one after the other, to the slow, dis
cordant music. Around they went
in circle, the big ones ahead, the
smaller ones following on behind,
and at the word of command the
larger ones took their places be-
tween two boxes and formed liv-
ing tortoise bridge, over which tho
small ones passed from box to box,
the others then following suit,
whereupon all the tortoises arranged
themselves in groups, like plates
about table.
The Japanese have another tor
toise, which they train to perform
simple tricks in the water. 1t is q
little creature, about three or four
inches long, that from n life Of in
activity has become covered with q
long growth Of green pond weed,
which streams behind like hair as it
swims along.
These people arc also famous for
their strange fishes Of the carp fam.
lily. Some are short and chubby,
with eyes that protrude 80 far from
the head that they look like tele-
scopes or the stalked eyes Of some
crabs, with which tho little crea-
lures can see in every direction.
Others have broad lacelike tail,
that hangs gracefully like mass
Of lace and appears to be divided in
to three parts. Others have per-
! feet black cross marked upon the
back, which, against the deep red,
which is the prevailing color, pre-
sents magnificent appearance.
Others are called the fish of the
white cross, the latter being white
against red.
These beautiful creatures are
trained to perform a variety of
tricks. They rise at the sound of a
bell, ring bell themselves, follow
one another in row ut the signal,
and then in many ways show their
remarkable intelligence.
| The Japanese also import the
famous fighting fishes from India,
which they keep in an aquarium
and match in contests, which are, it
must be said, decided without blood
shed, though the little creatures
show no little ferocity.
The tortoise and crane are both
sacred animals in Japan, and the
former is often seen with the stork
walking about the villages, paying
no attention to the people, and as

We respectfully ask to differ With
the honored editors OF the JOURNAL
in regard to the war which is now

the time being that war is a very
pronounced evil, but if one will look
back in the history of our country
and sum up all the wars in which
1t has been engaged and carefully
weigh the results Of those struggles
| think that upon the whole it will
be decided that the good to the
country and to humanity will far
overbalance the evils. So far as we
are able to recall to mind, the war
that has been wsgeed in Cuba for
the last two years is diabolism, and
is without parallel in civilized
warfare unless, perhaps, in that
waged Dy the same nation Spain

emperor, Charles V. The atrocities

such cases always uses human agen-
