At an auction sale of a collector of
books in a Washington, D. c., shop the
other night a copy of one of President
Roosevelt's books was put up and
caused a. sharp little contest of bidders
Ut was finally knocked down at a price
somewhat in excess Of it's regular price
at store. Encouraged by the display
of patriotic interest, as he interpreted
1t, the auctioneer picked out life of
George Washington and held that up,
with the usual preface of choice COM
ment. Silence followed the conclusion
of his panegyric. Not a solitary bid was
heard. Again the auctioneer tried the
value OF advertising; but not an offer
was made. Tossing the book back on
the shelf he said, in a tone Of mingled
contempt and disgust: go back on the
shelf, George! You're not wanted;
you're not wanted; you're back num-
Der. The times are too strenuous for
you, George"

A few years ago the ba1sam fir tree
was considered one of the most worth
less Of forest trees, but since the growth
of the Christmas tree industry it has
taken on an added value. The contrac-
tors pay from three to four cents
apiece for the small trees and from
twenty-five to forty cents for the larger
ones This price seems insignificant
when taken alone, but when it Is con-
sidered that from three thousand to
four thousand trees will grow on an
acre, and that the trees can be raised
on land worthless for anything else, it
is a different story. The cutting age is
from seven years up. It is estimated
that the people of Maine will receive
100000 this year from this industry.

OCEAN CABLE PATHS.
Through Submarine Depths
Accurate Surveys.

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, says Lip
plncott's. Some portions of the At
lantlc cables are over three miles be-
bow the surface, and this is not neces-
sarily the extreme depth, for the cable
may, and probably does, pass from
the top of one submarine hill to an
other without dropping materially
into the deep valleys between. The
greatest known depth of the sea is
1926 feet, or seven and three-ffths
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 a depth of 81, 4S0 feet in
the North Atlantic, south of New
foundland, and about $4,000 feet, or
nearly six and half miles, is reported
south of the Bermudas. Even such
enormous depths as these need not
hinder cable-laying, so far as the the
DRY is concerned, but in practice, for
reasons of economy in maintenance
and otherwise, it is found best to take
advantage 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
Newfoundland before starting across
to their destinations in Ireland or
France.
The reason for this is found in the
range of submarine tablelands, form
ing an ideal cable bed, which lies be-
tween the three latter countries. In
past years immense portions of this
submerged territory have been plotted
out and and mapped by various govern
ment and private expeditions, and this
knowledge is constantly being added
to. 1t becomes particularly valuable
in economic cable-laying. Except in
extreme cases, the electrical conductor
is not dropped overheard haphazard.
On the contrary the submarine noun
tains, valleys and plains over which it
is to take its sinuous course are accu-
rately selected beforehand, and their
general contiguration, soil-covering,
if any, and other pecularities properly
taken into consideration. Special, vari-
cites of cable are manufactured to
meet certain conditions known to ex-
ist where they are tc go. Like men
in all trades, the cable-layers must ad-
here closely to the specifications
given them in starting in order to per-
form the right kind of work.
The steamship, therefore, while GO
ing ahead and paying out the cable
over the stern pulley, is under the
guidance of skilled hands, following
certain path, which has been point
ed out for her by sages on the main
land as being the best adapted for the
comfort and ease of the electrical con-
ductor she is denositinp.
