HEAsU-REuEyr OF RACING YACHTS.

American yachtsmen have always cared more
for speed than rule more for hot contest ana 'he
teachings of it than for any book larnln on the
subject. When the main boom smote them on
the head they were taught not TO eyhe az the
wrong time. and they were instructed IN good
manners on boat by the boat itself. All the sue
cess they ever realized in the development or
the racing shape. as that shape now stands out
world beater. has come from the feel" OF the
craft as she travelled and from the assistance
the eye brought in discerning the requirements
of a boat that would be slippery. Yachting is
as independent of books as charity. and its dew
ternaism which in different parts of the world
is continually trying to check natural impulse
with all the 'donts" of high class ladies'
boarding school
Paternalism seems 10 reach its limit in the
proposal of the Rule Committee of the English
Yacht Racing association which was brought
up at the general meeting last week. The
endelyor is 10 make yachtsmen race in cruisers.
There are those who wish to appear in the
racing field and YET cannot bear 10 he beaten by
boats in which there is ingenuity of design. and
by raising the hue and cry about racing ma
chimes they are able to pass rule for the
measurement of racing yachts which will place
premium on a necessarily slow design and
produce craft very like that of the Genesta of
piouS memory. In other words. the rule will
put back English yacht designing exactly if-
teen years in rcsurrecting the supposedly dead
and buried form which was defeated by the
best American design of 1885, We print the
formula of this rule as curiosity. just as
hieroGlyphics are reproduced in fac-simile, and
not in the belief that any American will fully

is by this rule put, as a type. hopelessly out of

that among 3O-footers a straight lined hull may
add over six feet to her waterlne and AL feet
to her canvas area TO sail at the same racing

TIE PACIFIC CABLE ROUTE.

The feasibility of a direct transpacific cable
is now assured. Last year the contention
made. with mich circumstance, that because Of
the Challenger, Tuscarora and other 'deeps' it
was impossible to lay direct cable connecting
the United States with its various posseSsi ons.
but a roundabout route. by way of Russian ard
Japanese territory. would have TO be adopted.
We exposed at the time the fallacy of this con-
tention in full confidence of the result of the
survey of the ocean bed. and that confidence is
now indicated. The official survey proves the
practicability of laying cable from California
to Hawaii. and thence to Guam and to the
Philippines. thus connecting all our Pacific Jos
sessions with a cable exclusively under our own
flag.
This result has been attained. it is interesting
to observe, despite the discovery of more Iro-
found depths than were known before. The
TuscaroraS deepest sounding was at t655
fathoms, and the Challengers at only 400.
But the Nero sent the plummet down 70 the
stupendous depth of 5,269 fathoms. That is
only 66 feet less than six miles. and nearly half
a mile more than the height of the loftieSt
mountain peak the globe. At that depth the
temperature is only two or three degrees above
freezing. while the Stiffness the darkness and
the pressure of the everything miles of water are
beyond appreciation. 1t is a world of chilly

however. is a sure and safe pathway for The
electric girdle which is TO bear sense and light
and life and human sympathy around the globe
That is pathway thar should speedily he fol
lowed. The cable is urgently needed for tie
benign purposes of peace. while in the emercen-
cieS of war its use would he of vital i'm
portance. American genius has discovered the
way. American enterprise and skill should COM
plete the work: and the American Nation will
reap the reward
