Holt, also of Princeton and the coach
at Illinois, is in condition to stand a
scrimmage as guard. Hurry Up"
Yost gets into the play almost daily
with his Wolverines, and can play al
most any position on the eleven equal
to the best of his candidates. He
would make good tackle, while Art
Curtis, the former star of Wisconsin
and coach for Kansas, would make it
most interesting for any varsity man
at the other tackle position.
Coach CAREY, the former Maroon
player, is in training, so to speak,
and would make an effective end.
Palmer, of Princeton, who is coach
ing Grinnel, might be asked to take
the other end position, or Fred Hay
ner, the former Lake Forest end, who
is coaching high school eleven,
would not have much trouble in get

his old stunts at getting down the

For quarter "Foxy Phil' King, the
Wisconsin coach and former Prince

the bill. Each works hard with his
team on the field, and could run the

"Boss" Weeks, of Michigan The
men, however, would be slower by
far than the Wolverines. Mclean,

Knox with great success this year,

Pennsy man coaching Iowa, would be
available for half-backs. Percy Hale,

kicker of Wisconsin, would be strong
at fullback.

The length of the French cable from
Brest, France, to Cape Cod, Massa-
chusetts, is $3.50 miles, while the great
est distance from land to land on the
proposed Pacific route would be that
from San Francisco to Hawaii, 2,0S9
miles, that from Hawaii to Wake ISL
and being 2,040 miles, from Wake ISL
and to Guam 1890 miles, from Guam
to Manila 1920 miles, and from Manila
to the Asiatic coast $50 miles. While
the depth of the Pacific is somewhat
greater than that at which any cable
has been laid, the difference between
its depth and the greatest reached by
cables in the Atlantic would be very
slight, the cable recently laid from
Hayti to the Windward Islands being
in $4,000 feet of water, while the great
est depth between San Francisco and
Hawaii is 1890 feet. and the greatest
depth between Hawaii and Manila is
estimated at 1860 feet, though this
estimate is yet to be verified by de-
tailed soundings. The recent survey
for a cable between the Pacific coast
and Manila justifies the belief that d
route can be selected in which the
depth will not exceed 10000 feet, and
may not exceed $4,000 feet. The recent
survey made by the bureau of equip
ment, navy department, under the
direction of Rear Admiral r. B. Brad
ford, disclosed the greatest ocean
depths heretofore known. lying be-
tween Midway island and Guam and
being 81, GA feet, or but &c feet short of
six miles depth of water. This depres-
sion, however, which has been named
the Nero Deep, in honor of the vessel
from which the sounding was made,
can be avoided by detour, and it is

points of the various continents into
instantaneous communication, the
total length of telegraph line of the
world is 100000 miles, the length of
their single wires or conductors $780,
600 miles, and the total number of
messages annually sent over them
about 400, 900, 900, or an average of more
than 100000 messages each day.
In the short half century since the
practicability of submarine telegraphy
was demonstrated, the electric wires
have invaded every ocean. Nearly
score of wires have been laid across
the Atlantic, of which no less than
thirteen now successfully operate be-
tween the United States and Europe,
while three others span the compar-
atively short distance between South
America and the African and south
European coast lines. Throughout
the Indian ocean, lines connect the far
east with Europe and America by way
of the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the
western coast of Europe, and the great
transatlantic lines. The Mediter-
ranean is crossed and recrossed in it's
entire length and breadth by numer-
Gus cable lines, and the "Mediterra-
mean of America"-the Gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean Seals traversed
in all directions by lines which bring
its islands and colonies into speaking
relations with each other and with
South America, Central America, the
United States, and thence with Europe,
Africa. Asia-the whole world. Along
the eastern coast of Asia cable lines
loop from port to port and island to
island, receiving messages overland
from Eastern Europe by way of
the Russia-Siberian land lines
and forwarding them to Japan,
China. Australia, New Zealand,
the Straits Settlements, Hong
Kong, and the Philippines, and
receiving others in return. South
America is skirted with cable lines
along its entire border save the ex-
IRENE south, where they are brought
into intercommupication by land lines.
Along the entire coast of Africa cables
loon from place to place and from col
ony to colony, stretching along the
entire circumference and penetrating
the interior of land lines at various
points.
The chief obstacle in the past to the
construction of grand trans-Pacific
cable was found in the fact that mid
ocean resting places could not be salts
factorily obtained or arranged for, no
single government controlling suffi-
cient number of suitable landing places
to make this seem practicable, in view
of the belief that the distance through
which messages could be sent and
cables controlled was limited. With
landing places in Hawaii, Wake Island,
Guam, and the Philippines, however,
no section of cable stretching from
the United States to Asia and touching
at these points would have length
equal to that now in daily operation
between France and the United States.

passementerie ones, decorate our
sleeves from shoulder to wrist. Tiny
buttons, in sets of three, fasten the
straps on our bodices and 'sKirts.
The bell-shaped sleeve is the favorite
shape for general use. Some ladies
may find it too open for comfort when
cold days are here, but this is easily
remedied by inserting small and full

or rich brocade.
All the new dress goods are of n
rough and hairy texture. They are
undoubtedly becoming to thin women,
as they increase the size. But, for this
reason, they are unsuitable to their
stouter sisters, who should select face
cloth, foule serge, or cashmere, which
material is much in vogue this winter.

believed that the necessary depth will
not exceed 10000 feet, and may not be
more than $4,000 feet. Otto Krum-
mel, who was the first to discuss the
bathymetric data and calculate the
area and volume of the various oceanic
basins, put the mean depth of the
Pacific at 2,160 fathoms, against {, 040,-
for the Atlantic, in which cables
have already been SO successfully laid;
and later researches and actual sound
ings, while they have developed ex-
IRENE depths at certain points in the
Pacific, have not, in the opinion of ex-
perts, been such as to warrant the be-
lief that the depths along the proposed
line would be considerably greater
than those in which cables have been
already successfully laid and operated.
The accompanying map illustrates
the route of the new cable between
Canada and Australia, and the pro-
posed route for the cable for which
franchise has already been granted
between San Francisco and Manila.
The total length of the Canada-Aus-
trala cable is 1900 miles, and it is
divided into three sections, each Sec
ton representing the voyage out and
home of huge cable ship. This cable
has been laid by the cooperation of
the English. Canadian and Australian
governments.
The greater part of the route having
been carefully sounded during 1901 by
surveyingship sent specially for the
purpose, the first section australia
Norfolk Island, Norfolk-New Zealand,
and Norfolk-FijD was laid by the
steamer Anglia, of the Telegraph Con-
struction and Maintenance company,

new steamer Colonia of the same COM
pany (the largest cable ship, by the
way, in eXistence), ard the third Fan
ning-Fiji) again by the Anglia. The
Vancouver-Fanning portion is the
longest cable without break in the
world. In fact, it would have been
more convenient to have replaced the
latter station by one at Honolulu
more than thousand miles nearer
Vancouver. England felt, however,
that the route should be all-British,
and to this end Tanning, the most
northerly of her possessions in that
part of the Pacific, was selected.

box-plaits at the back. In short, all
manner of skirts are worn, provided
always they are full and faring about
the feet-for it is in this direction they
are developing.
Tailor skirts are often seen buttoned
down the front, at the sides, or at the

ankle-length, and usually have the
seams ornamented with stitched bands
of silk or velvet; while those for visit
