PATH OF OCEAN CABLES.
Subma rine Tablelands That Stretch
Across the Atlantic.

Across the Atlantic.
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 por-
tons of the Atlantic cables are 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 submarine hill to
another without dropping materially
into the deep valleys between, says
Lippincott's Magazine. The greatest
known depth of the sea is 4O,O36 feet.
or 3-5 miles, found in the south At
lantic midway between the island Of
Tristan da Cunha and the mouth of
the Rio de la Plata. Soundings have
been made to the depth of 27,4S0 feet
In the north Atlantic south of New
foundland, and about "a 600 feet, or
nearly ~ 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 In maintenance and other
wise, it is found best to take advan-
tage Of favoring conditions in the
oceans bed. To illustrate, all of the
cables between the United States and
Europe run up along our coast until
they reach the neighborhood Of New
foundland before starting across to
their destination in Ireland or France.

In Alsace recently four-year-old

A ROyal Road to Wealth.

+ When certain late shah of Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money, he had quite unique method
of filling his purse. He would go to
the market, where, after examining
the shops, he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would say,
Twill you take me in as Il partner in
your business for the day?' The Of
fer was, of course. eagerly accepted.
The shah would take his seat near the
shop entrance and say to his courtiers.
whom he always took with him on
these occasions: "Now, I'm salesman.
Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring to
refuse the offers Of the royal mer-
chant, set about clearing the shop of
its contents. paying sometimes $50 for
goods that were not worth f10. No
one was allowed to beat down prices
or to leave the place without making
purchases. When everything was sold,
the shah had list Of the cost price Of
each article made out and Loyalty
shared with the shopkeeper the
amount Of the profit realized.

Inc buyer occupies position Of con-
sequence In the stockyards community.
lie Is an expert, usually man of mid
dle age who has obtained his educa,
ton and technical ability partly in the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer is likely to re-
ceivc Il salary of $1,000 to 5000 Il
year, and he is worth all of that, for on
MS ability to tell by moments in
spection what quality of beef will be
produced by steer that he never be-
fore laid eyes on depends primarily the
excellence of the product issued by his
house and hence the increase of it's
business.
The buyers work is not arduous, and
to all appearance his task is simple
one. He walks along the fiat board
laid along the top of the fence, glanc-
ing kcenly at the cattle in the different
pens. Some he passes by without Il
pause, others he stops to inspect more
closely, and occasionally he displays
his interest in group by asking
question or two of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at q
glance to distinguish between grass
fed steer and a corn fed steer, to de-
eide whether an animal is entitled to
he classcd as fancy" good or "com-
mon and to guess within few pounds
of an animals exact weight by glanc-
ing at him. The buyer makes his pur-
chases ION the hoof," paying the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade in which it is decided each group
of cattle belongs. In few words the
transaction is completed, and the buy
er's interest in the affair is ended
