were poor, and like most Of the youths
of those times young Stedman was

The Twentieth Century Magazine

could make, sold at as low a price as
modern machinery and methods could
produce it.
To improve the quality and at the

GERMAN CABLE SCHEMES.

The German government confirms
the report that it is about to lay a
system of telegraphic cables in the
western part of the Pacific ocean. It's
first object is to secure direct COM
munication by cable with Kiao-Ch
After that it will extend its system
to the Caroline islands, which it has
acquired from Spain. and finally, no
doubt. will lay other lines to the Mar
shall islands and New Guinea, and
perhaps even to Samoa, thus connect
ing ali German possessions in that
part Of the world with a network Of
electric wires. 1t doubtless deems this
desirable, if not absolutely necessary,
on both military and commercial
grounds.
It has, however, no thought Of lay
ing cable Of its own from those col
onies home to Germany. That would
be a gigantic undertaking, and would
offer no hope Of profit from a CONNER
cial point Of view. Nor as we shall
see, does it appear to be called for on
military grounds. The German plan
is to bring this system Of cables in
to connection with the United States
cable which is to be laid-we trust We
are not oversanguine in saying So
from California to the Philippines. It
will, Of course, also connect with the
European lines which run from Hong
Kong to Singapore, to India, to the
Red sea, and 50 on to Europe Thus
German communication with the col
onies will be practically secure against
the vicissltudes Of war. For in case
Of trouble with some European power,
and consequent interruption Of the
Hong Kong -India-suez route, the
American line across the Pacific will
still be open.
In fact, there is reason to expect
that, despite the difference in distance,
Germany will at all time give a large
legree Of preference to the American
Pacific route. With fewer stopping
places and transfer stations, that will
be really the safer and swifter route.
Without undue self-exaltation, too, We
may assume that the fact of Ameri-
can ownership and control viii COM
mend it to German use. Despite oc-
casi0nal friction and riyalries Ger
many, as well as other European pow
ers, recognizes that our freedom from
the jealouses and intrigues Of the Old
World politics gives us a unique
strength of position and an assured
neutrality such as no other important
nation enjoys, and makes the United
States, therefore, the safest possible !

KILL THE RATS


New York Medical Journal.
We hope that the bubonic plague
will not find lodgment in this coun-
try, and feel sure that it viii not if
the officers Of the marine hospital ser
vice can prevent it, There certainly
is no imminent danger OF it doing SO,
but that is no reason for being blind
to or denying its possibility. The
maxim In time Of peace prepare for
war is as applicable to sanitary as to
military operations. and when a pesti-
lence RACES in one part of the globe
the people of the rest Of the world
should put themselves in a state OF
defense against it by every means that
an intelligent foresight can provide.
We have an immense coast line and
other borders, and it is pretty certain
that all immigrants to the United
States DO not come through ports Of
entry In the case of the Chinese this
is somewhat notorious. Some infected
Oriental may thus find entrance to the
country and transmit the disease to
others Of his race. Were this all, the
pest might be stamped out by isola-
ton and quarantine; but where hu-
man beings contract it, the ubiquitous
rats and mice also become affected
with it, and they can neither be iso-
