mails are not disposed to interfere with
such contriyances, though cables have
been bitten by sharks and cut by
swordfishes. One break in a trans-At-
lantic wire was caused by a whale,
which got entangled in 1t. When the
line is completed 1t will be practicable
to send message around the world in
three seconds. The plan contemplated
is that, when finished, the cable shall
be handed over to the postoffice de-
partment, to be operated as part of
the postal service. All net proceeds
viii be covered into the treasury, and
in this way the cable will be made to
pay for itself in course of time. One
thing worth considering incidentally is
that the future commercial interests of
the United States in China and else
where in the far East will be enor-
mously benefited by the trans Pacific
wire. Some day. inevitably. all the ISL
ands of Polynesia will be connected by
network of cables.
1t Is a curious thing to consider that
the Pacific ocean was practically d
Spanish lake a little more than 100
| years ago. It was claimed as such on
| the strength of Balboa's discovery in
| 1913, and Spain insisted that it should
| be regarded as a mare clausum. When
| Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated
| the globe, his sailing across those wa
| tiers was seriously resented by Spain
| Not long before the close of the last
! century Spain again made a fuss be-
| cause It's monopoly of the Pacific was
| suffering infringement. 1t ordered the
| commandante of San Francisco te
seize the first vessel that carried the
| American flag around Cape Horn.
