THE OCEAN
If There Had Been a Cable In Ex-
istence In 1912 History Would
BE Different.

Owing to the six hours difference in
time between ST. Louis and Paris the
signing of the treaty of peace at s:45
was known in this city several hours
earlier in the day. Had there been an
ocean cable in 1912, says the ST. Louis
Glooe-Democrat, the war with England
in that year would probably have not
taken place, for the British orders in
council, which were the chief cause of
the war. were revoked five days after
the declaration of war by congress. An
ocean telegraph would lave told the
fact to this country instantly. 1t would
also ave told before war was actually
declared that the British government
was seriously considering their revoca-
ton. Ii there had been a telegraph
then the news of the signing of the
treaty OF peace on December "a, 1914,
would have averted the battle of New
Orleans which occurred Is days later.
This would have prevented the only
really creditable military episode of
the war on the American side, have
kept Jackson in comparative political
obscurity all his life, and probably have
prevented the reconstruction and ma
tionaiization of the democratic party
which Jackson's ascendancy brought.
AS close communication between Eu-
rope and America at that time, such as
exists now, would have altered history
in several important particulars.

from the interior Of the cell to the out
side. And through it, about so feet be-
meath him, he saw a paved roadway
bordered by trees and grass.
But owing to the downward ten
dency of the fissure his range of vision
was very limited. In fact, he could see
only o little beyond the furthest edge
Of the road and barely so feet of its
length. So he could form no idea of the
landscape, or where the spot was sit
uated. Now and then, a man, or a
group of men, would walk past, but
the sound of their footsteps did not rise
to his ears. Carriages and vehicles OF
several kinds went by, but they glided
along as noiseless as bicycles, unless

BERLIN BICYCLE ENGINES.
The Fire Department Of the Ger
man City Has a Most Unique
Equipment.

German fire apparatus builders have,
after several years Of trial, produced q
fire bicycle which, if it falls short of be-
ing perfect, is an invention far ahead
of anything of it's kind in use else
where. 1t is a four-wheeled truck, with
a low, compact su~perstructure, is fully
equipped as an engine, and has q com
plete outfit of ~life-saving apparatus.
The wheels have solid rubber tires, 1t
is pedaled by two firemen, sitting tan
dem, and runs rapidly on good roads,
while its handling is extremely simple.
The firemen having the one in charge

Gently covered a mile, made the hydrant
attachment, and We're at work in
something less than five minutes. The
bicycle engine carries a lot of tools and
implements, slowed snugly away, and
each held securely in place.
The weight of the bicycle itself and
all it carries, is 377 pounds, and the
price of the entire outfit is 900 marks,
" about $275.
In other particulars Of fire equip
ment, also, the Germans are ahead of
us. In Berlin the firemen wear water
jackets, with a double skin, which they
are able to fill with water from the
hose. If the space between the layers
becomes cverfilled, the water escapes
through a valve at the top of the he'll
met and flows down over the fireman
like a cascade, thus doubly protecting
him. The helmets, also a German
invention, are largely used throughout
Germany, and in Austria, Holland and
Italy, and are now on trial in some of
u fire departments. The smoke he'll

to see with some degree of comfort in
a smoke-laden atmosphere; some of
the newer patterns contain a means of

FLOATS OVER MoRRo.
The Historic Flag Was First Hoisted
In Philadelphia During the
Civil War.

Few American flags have a more in
teresting history than attaches to the
banner which was flung to the breeze
over Moro castle, Havana, on New
Years day. 1t first few over the Corn
Exchange national bank, Philadelphia,
when the famous Corn Exchange regi-
ment of volunteers was organized for
the war of the states. 1t flew over the
bank during nearly the whole of the
war and was then secured by the late
eX-United States Senator Alexander G.
Cattell, then an officer of the bank. He
took it to his residence in Merchant
vile. N. j., and stored it away as a
sacred thing. While President Grant
was visiting Senator Cattell he raised
the historic banner to a pole over the
senator's mansion-an act that added
materially to the historic value of the
starry emblem. After that the flag was
again stored away as a priced relic.
When ex-senator Cattell died it was
practically forgotten until George w.
Algor procured it from the estate and
presented it to the government for the
purpose to which it was put at Ha-
vana.

CASH VALUE OF IMMIGRANTS.
Most Money Into the Country
and the Italian Least.

If one We're to gauge the worth of
newly arrived immigrants by the
amount of money they bring with
them, those who come from Germany
would take first rank, England would
hold second place and Italy the last.
The average German who M to
this country brings $5a.96 with him.
When the average Englishman comes
he brings $l.4O less, or $3.50. The next
wealthiest average immigrant is the
Frenchman. who comes with $47.23 in
his pocket. The Belgian is fourth in
the list with $3.50.
The Italian, who is the poorest of all,
brings $9.9S. but il is safe to say that he
returns 10 his native land the wealth.

for saving is a thing to judge by.
The Turk who comes to America
brings $35.56 with him, and stands we'll
toward the top of the list. The average
Irishman over, to stay, with a
capital of $15.26, while the Russian, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
commissioner general Of immigration,
brings $12.1o.

Twenty-four hours later there was a
hurried step outside. The door opened
and Count Bantinni came in, holding a
lantern over his head. He brought pen,
ink, a pad OF paper and an envelope.
The darkness outside and the shine Of
his lantern prevented his seeing the
crack in the rock.
Putting the lantern down by the ar
fist, he shook him violently.
Wake up" he said, grufly. II want
you to write. Write! Write, Isay!"
But Gielow did not stir.
The count swore sullenly and lifted
the lantern SO that it's rays fell across

He unlocked the manacles from the

them aside and left the cell.
