A BIG ISLAND.

New Zealand now appears to be the
only stumbling block in the way of
Australian federation. Queensland,
which has twice rejected the PROPOSE
ton, is likely to swing into line
within the next year, and as the
other five colonies have already vote
favorably it is likely that the confed-
Grafton will BE effected without tax
ing New Zealand into consideration.
AT any rate that island IS moo tn
1000 miles distant fro~' NIs'r7Ha
proper and its refusal to enter the
federation will not cut much of
figure. The United States OF Austria

be called. will be to all tntents and
purposes an independent nation. ac-

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHY.

A commercially practicable subma-

minimum by the substitution of air
for gutta percha between the conduct
orS, has been made for the English
postotfcc department by the Tele-
graph Construction and Maintenance
company, and has recently been laid
in the Solent says the Western Flee
trojan. The cable was designed by
Willoughby Smith and w. p. Gran
vile, and may be regarded as to some
extent practical outcome Of the tele-
phone submarine cable designed by
Mr.. Preece. and described by him
at the British association meeting
last year In Mr.. Preece's cable two
semi-circular conductors were separa-
ted by paper insulation, while in the
new cable now laid in the Solent
paper is not used, the space between
tie four wires being filed with air.
except in so far as it is occupied by
certain amount of gutta-percha
necessary to hold the wires in place.
Thus the new cable Is literally a hol
low tube, which, however, is stopped
up at intervals by partitions that di-
vide the air space into water-tight
compartments.
