Safest Place to Re Shot.

An Australian officer who saw the
greater part of the war in South At
RIGA has been telling Melbourne inter-
viewer that from his experience he
thinks the head is the safest part in
which to receive a bullet. "The head
Is the most protected part of the body.
Out of scores of cases of wounds In the
head that came under my notice, only
one was fatal. In many of them the
bullets glanced off the skull, merely

The Unfortunate
Maker of "Breaks."


! A "break," In the ever-changing YER
nacular of social parlance, signifies
some unfortunate chance remark that
either refers to or suggests some sub
ject best to be avoided Everyone knows
how often such BREAKS" as they are
called, occur, and how there seems to
be some perverse fate that makes one
go out of ones way to talk of topics
that must necessarily suggest the one
forbidden. If there Is anyone at the
table, for instance, who has some per-
sonal defect, the imp of perversity will
probably cause the most tender-hearted
person present to drag that particular
misfortune into the conversation by al
luding to some one who is similarly af-
6icted. Or IL there is some family skel-
eton which must not be spoken of, 1t
will always be brought forward by
proxy.
II am the most unfortunate individ-
ual in the world about such things"
complained young man recently. ut
is simply impossible for me to steer
clear Of any unpleasant topic. 1t is
like lodestone to me, and | am drawn
In It's direction whether l will or not.
The other day l went with a house par
ty to the Ms, who are all abnor-
mally fat Now, Bill l said to myself,
remember, not one word about corpu-
lencyv But in spite of all my efforts 1
managed to drag in the subject several
times. To my horror, heard myself
mention Barnum's fat woman to Mrs.
M, speak of some ones death from
fatty degeneration of the heart when
conversing with Mr.. M, talk ad-
miringly of Miss Slender's figure to
Miss M, and allude to the disadvan-
tage Of carrying weight to young M,
who nearly broke his heart at college
because he grew too heavy to compete
In the games. There was perfect IA
tally about It, and l am sure they must
have thought l did it all on purpose"

young woman to whom he was speak
Ing, Il went to stay with some people
whose prominent family trait was re-

solved beforehand never to mention the
defect, but the prohlbitive word so
preyed on my mind that, on one dread
full, never-to-be-forgotten day, l said to
my host at the table, Please give me

but the awful word got ahead of it and
slipped out of my mouth quite clear and

DEPTH OF OCEAN CABLES.
Interesting information Regarding
Submarine Territory.


There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section Of the oceans Of the world, no
matter how great the depth. Some
portions Of the Atlantic cables are
over three miles below the surface,
and this Is not necessarily the extreme
depth, for the cable may, and probably
does, pass from the top of one sub
marine hill to another without droop-
Ing materially into the deep valleys be-
tween. The greatest known dept of
the sea is 40,236 feet, or seven and
three-fifths miles, found in the South
Atlantic about midway between the
island Of Tristan d'Acunha and the
mouth of the Rio de la Plata.
Soundings have been made to the
depths of 27,4SO feet In the North At
lantic south Of Newfoundland, and
about $4,000 feet, or nearly six and
a half miles, is reported south of the
Bermudas. Even such enormous
depths as these need not hinder cable
laying so far as the theory Is con-
cerned, but In practice, for reasons of
economy and otherwise, 1t Is found
best to take advantage Of favoring con-
ditions In the oceans bed. TO illus
trate, all of the cables between the
United States and Europe run up along
our coast until they reach the neigh
bornood Of Newfoundland before start
Ing across to their destinations In Ire
land and France. The reason for this
Is found In the range of submarine
table lands, forming an ideal cable bed,
which lies between the three latter
countries.
In past years immense portions of
this submerged territory have. been
plotted and mapped by various govern
mental and private expeditions and
this knowledge Is constantly being
added to. 1t becomes particularly val
liable In economic cable-layng. Ex-
cept In extreme cases the electric con-
ductor Is not dropped overheard hap
hazard. On the contrary the subma-
rine mountains, valleys and plains over
which 1t Is to take its sinuous course
are accurately selected beforehand and
their general conhguration, soil COW
ering Qf any and other peculiarities
properly taken into consideration. Spe-
cial varieties of cable are manufac-
tured to meet certain conditions known
to exist where they are to go. Like
men in all trades, the cable layers
must adhere closely to the specifica-
lions given them In starting In order
to perform the right kind of work.

TRADE REPORT.

New York-Bradstreet's report on
trade last week says: Retail distribu-
ton, further stimulated by colder
weather and the advance of holiday
season, has expanded largely, until
now it easily occupies first position in
the trade situation. Wholesale trade
except where inroads upon retailers
stocks have induced recorders, is laps
ing into the quiet usual at the stock
taking period. Building trade acti-
witty has been checked by the prevail
ing weather and the distribution of
lumber and building materials gener-
ally is less active. Other leading in.
dustries also note the quieting down
usual at this esason. Great basic con,
ditions, however, make for future pros.

Cold weather and snow have helped
distribution at retail in the northwest
and the outlook is for an unprecedent

coast. Recorders of heavy goods from
jobbers are still of moderate proper

larger than a year ago in dry goods
shoes and clothing. Holiday trade is
bearish for this early stage of the sea

CASTRO IN HEROIC MOOD.
But Counsels Venezuelans to be
Prudent,

Caracas, Dec. 15.-The news of the
bombardment of Puerto Cabello caused
most intense excitement here. The
population flocked into the streets and
patriotic demonstrations continued al
night. An immense crowd, whose
numbers were estimated at more than
10000, gathered in front of the presi
dental palace and called on President
Castro to appear. Some of the orators
among the crowd having advocated re
prisals against the foreigners resident
in Venezuela, President Castro in
rage at the suggestions, refused the
demands made in the following
speech:
Citizens: The size of nations, like
the size of men, is measured only by
their acts. Those born brave prove
their valor on the battlefield, not
against defenseless citizens, who, per-
haps, are innocent, and are in their
hearts with us, and who are ashamed
of the infamy of their compatriots.
1--WE will seek prisoners Tor Venezu-
ella jails on the battlefield. Our action
will be directed only against those who
come armed. However great may be
our indignation, we must behave as a
cultured and civilized people, and es-
pecially now, when the most powerful
nations of Europe are behaving like
real savages. | counsel the greatest
prudence in order not to abandon our
rights, the justice of our cause and
our reputation.
The good name of Venezuela must
remain always secure, whatever merg-
encies may arise in the struggle. If
we fail, it will be gloriously and he
roically, but l assure you that our
country will be saved because the SUI
preme being above who sees and di-
rects all, can not abandon us in this
fearful emergency, justice and right
being on our side.
Il, who never tIembled before dan
ger, swear | will fulfil my duty and
justly sacrifice my life for the honor
and dignity of the nation. | recon-
mend great circumspection, prudence
and even cordality, so that strangers
resident in our country, Americans,
French, Italians, Spanish and even the
Germans and English may be the first
to proclaim in the face of the world
that Venezuela is a cultured and civil
lied nation"
The speech was applauded and a
procession of whites and negroes tray
ersed the city without an act of VIC
lence being committed.
The Associated Press correspondent
saw the president twice today He is
calm and is giving all his time to the
organization of resistance. Fourteen
hundred men enlisted today from Car

The conduct of the British and Ger
man commanders is severely censured
by all the European colonies. The
Associated Press correspondent saw
today Alfred Blohm, the banker, who
went to La Guayra and saw the COM
manders of the British and German
cruisers. He said he did not hesitate
on meeting Charge Won Pilgrim-Bal-
tazzi on board the German cruiser
Vineta to tell him that the conduct of
the German legation in this question
had been shameful and that the mat
ter could have been arranged if Herr

man colony. was ignorant of Ger
many's designs.
