The survey is made by means
of soundings, and the sounding aQpar-

wire which is wound around drum.
To make the sounder sink fast an oval
shot, weighing twenty to sixty pounds,

strikes bottom, the weight comes off

men to take out these laths at the

three hours to reach bottom.
At the other end of the cable route a
piece of cable has been attached to the
shore in the same way and is kept
afloat by buoy. When the ship
reaches it the two cable ends are
spliced together, and the completed line
is lowered over the bows by manila
ropes. When it is clear of the ship,
two men with sharp axes, at a given
signal, cut the ropes, the cable with a
farewell swish sinks below

Not only does it require a great deal
of skill to survey the hills and valleys

kind of skill to lay the cable there but
still another kind to mend the cable
when it breaks, for cables frequently
get out of order and some of the lines
which have been laid the longest are
as full of "darns" as an old stocking.
1t costs a good deal OF money, as you
may imagine, to send message over a
cable and consequently break of any
sort is very serious matter and must
be attended to at once. The men
whose business it is to repair these
breaks are called "cable jointers' and
they are liable to be sent to any part of

Skilled engineers can tell in length

REVIVAL OF ORANGE INDUSTRY

The statement that within another
year the orange industry of FLORIDA
will have regained in value it's greatest
point of the past. shows a recuperation
which is wonderful indeed.
With this revival af her orange in
dustry, Florida finds herself doubly
benefited because during the past five
years other crops have been intro
duced, from which the return has been
remunerative. This effort might never
have been made had it not been for the
disaster which has had the effect OF

The finances are not in a
