Visitors Barred from the soudan.


Many persons have, since the recon-
quest Of the Soudan, been desirous of
making trips of curiosity to Khartoum
and Omdurman, but all endeavors to
do so have been fruitless. The sidar
will allow no stranger to enter the
cities, and the government refuses all
applications for permission to cross
the desert. Lord Kitchener is proceed
ing with the work of planning out
Khartoum, and by the time that trav-
elers are free to enter the city they
will find very little to show them what
the city was like in Gordons day. The
reason for this action on the part of
the government is that the desert is
not yet safe for those who have not
military escort.

CAPTAIN SMITHS picture
THE LONG, LONG RECORD OF A
SCOTCHMAN.
A Tale Told to Visitors to the Bark
Highlands.-A Hundred and Tenth
Birthday.

Almost every captain that sails the
seas has a cosy cabin with a lot of pic
lures in it of people he leaves at home
and of places he has visited. In the
cabin of the Highlands, Captain David
Smith has one picture that has attracted
much attention from visitors 1t is u
photograph of a gray-haired farmer OF
New Brunswick, with an inscription at
the bottom which says, Uncle Ross
lO4 years old" The old man looks as
spry as if he were simply on the home
stretch of mankind's allotted three
score and ten.
He was only 1O4 when that was
TAKEN said Captain Smith to a visitor
who saw the picture. "He will be ITO
this year, if he lives till June, and L
shouldn't wonder if he lasts we'll into
the next century. Then he will have
seen three centuries-the end of the
eighteenth, all of the nineteenth, ana a
part of the beginning of the twentieth"
The captain did not seem to mind the
fact that in making these calculations
he was treading all over dangerous
ground in the century controversy.
Il saw him about year ago." con-
tinued the captain. He said then that
he was good for a long time vet, and
that it was hard to kill Highlander.
He was born in Scotland In 1880 Most
of his life has been spent on a farm
80 80" IL uiS VIM anu he was QOlnR
some moving in his 10Sth year. The old
man is my uncle. He lives with his
youngest son, a man about fifty"
Captain Smith says he is confident of
finding his uncle doing business at the
same old stand when he gets back
home. Now that the old man has be-
gun trying for a record he is Scotch
man enough to be too obstinate to quit
until he gets a record worth going
after The captain expects to get a
new picture next trip, as the old man
has not had one taken since he was
only 1O4. The master of the High
lands is quite proud of the record of
his venerable relative, and says he can
get records to show doubling Thomases,
as Wen as a collection of newspapers
which have published the uncle's pic
ture.

The New Year DegetS New Things

For the boys. Have you ever stopped
to think what a difference there is in
the makes of boys clothing? Many
suits are bought because the price is
low. 1t is often the price that governs
the purchaser, and not the quality or
the substantial makes. This theory
seems to be based on the idea that any
kind of suit is good enough for boy,
as he will soon wear it out. That is
not good economy, for if you would pay
a little more, and consider quality anu
make, you would have a suit for the
boy that would always look well ard
outwear two suits of the inferior grades
To buy the best is money in pocket; to
buy the poorest is money wasted. We
make a speciality to keep the best at
popular prices.

Novelties in NeckWeaI

Are among the timely things of the
new year. Never in the history of neck
wear has there been so many varieties
made of the very choicest silks. Pat
tern designs are characteristics of these
new makes. String Ties, Puffs, Scarfs,
Four-in-Hands, English Squares and
many other of the latest patterns are
to be found in our scock. A fine article
of necl1wear has become a necessity for
him who would be well dressed. No
part of his dress is more conspicuous,
and when the best can be bought for
what inferior goods cost, no one should
pass by the bargains we are now Of

ABOUT TELEGRAPHY.
The Style of Gable to be Used in the

In operating long cables very deli
cate instruments are required" Saws
Scrlbner's, land the currents arriving
at the receiving end are very feeble
IN comparison with those employed In
land-line signaling. The longer the ca
Die, naturally, the feeber the impulses
arriving at the receiving end A short
cable, a cable under 1000 miles being
generally considered a short cable
gives a speed of signalling amply
suIllcient for all purposes with a con-
ductor Weighing about 100 pounds to the
mile, surrounded by an insulating en-
Velope of gutta-percha weighing about
an equal amount
When we come TO a cable of about
twice this length it is found necessary
IN order to get practically unlimited
speed, that is, a speed as high as the
most expert operator can read IT, TO
employ core of $50 pounds of copper
TO the mile, insulated with 400 pounds
or gutta-percha to the mile These are
the proportions of copper and gutta-
percha in the 1894 Anglo American At
lantic cable, which is considered the
record Atlantic cable for speed OF
working, and has been worked by auto
matte transmission at the rate of some
forty-five words a minute.
The type of cable proposed for the
vancouver flaming section of the Brit
ish Pacific. cable, as designed by Lord
Kelvin, is to have a core of 552 pounds
of copper and 1858 pounds OF gutta-
percha to the mile, and is calculated
to give speed of twelve words per
minute over length of $500 miles. It
is not considered safe to adopt a very
much heavier core than this, for the
reason that the weight of the complete
cable with a core that should weigh
more than about half a ton to the nau-
teal mile would be so great that pick
ing 1t up for repairs from a depth of
5000 fathoms would be an extremely
difhcult and hazardous operation"
