Pacific Cables.
son New,

Word comes to Vancouver, British
Columbia. over the new British Pa
citc cable that the steamer Anglia
had reached Tanning Island with the
cable The section from the FIJI is
lands on to Brisbane, Australia, is
already laid, and the intervening sec
ton, from Tanning island to the Fijis,
will be completed in about month.
Communication will then, for the first
time in history, be open across the
Pacific and the telegraph system will
be complete around the globe, as
| Australia is already connected with
Europe in the other direction.
/ The work of making and laying the
American cable from San Francisco
to the Philippines is also being
/ pushed as rapidly as possible. 1t is
very significant of the advanced po-
sition the United States has taken in
the last few years as world power
that whereas up to the annexation
of Hawaii there was not an Ameri
can outpost in the Pacific, now the
stars and stripes float undisturbeC
over numerous well distributed
points. Some of the best harbors ii
the Pacific are now in the possession
of the United States, and the new
situation argues powerfully for The
development of our future trade anC
influence in this section of the world
The United States has the longes
coast line of any powers represented
in these waters, and all signs poin
to the building up of new empire
there.

Poisonous Oil Well.

Considerable danger accompanies
the flowing and the closing of new
well in the Beaumont, Texas, oil field
on account of the poisonous nature OF
the gas accompanying the oil flow.
This gas contains large proportion
of hydrous sulphide. and its poison
Gus qualities are intensified by its be-
ing saturated with petroleum vapor,
Petroleum vapor has the effect OF
rendering people inhaling it uncon-
scious, and if the patient remains
under its influence for any length OF
time, death ensues. The combination
of the hydrogen sulphide and the pc
troleum vapor issuing from the wells
of Beaumont IS such as to render
death almost instantaneous, although,
fortunately, few fatal accidents OF
this kind have taken place at Spin
dletop.

Darkness and Light.


long polar night is one Of the bar.
riers To the success Of every polar
expedition. The night of months
with its low temperature and high
humidity drives men to the verge of
desperation. 1t depresses the spir-
its and suppresscs all the func-
lions of the human body Now
one is melancholy; then one
cusses oneself and companions and
again wave Of sleepy dizziness over
comes every human effort. Indeed,
this helIish darkness brings out all
the badness of which a man is capa-
bic That description is dismal
enough, surely, but it has its advan-
tagcs. There are no political
speeches to hear no one has to read
the subsidized newspaper that simu-
lates independence the perfect lib
ertv which absolute obedience Sc
cures is never portrayed. There are
darker things than the outer dark
ness which we read of in the Good
Book or in tales offArctic travel
The passion for going north can
be compared to nothing save men ;
vices. They follow them all night !;
with the dawn they are all bowed
down with remorse; they promise
themselves that they will never
again be 50 weak and wicked, but
the mantle of night drives away all
their resolutions. 1t seems to be the
same with every man who has ever
been on polar expedition. When
he returns he is like the politician
who has been defeated for Office. He
says THAT fixes it; will never
be such fool again, but he will be
on hand when another election draws
near. So the Arctic voyager, when
on shore at home for little while.
becomes restless again The spell of
the great north is still upon him, and
draws him, like his vices, against his
will, until he can no longer resist.
That reminds one that only through
light comes progress. The proper
ties of light are not yet half under
stood, but every new development
brings out new wonders and new
blessings in it, A scientist in the
East the other day declared that al
ready all surface diseases yield to the
X-ray; that when better understood
it would Danish disease from the
world. When the first command wa,
given, Let there be light ; the rec
ord reads 'And God saw the ligh'
that it was good The significance
generally ascribed to that has beer
that the good referred was only thu
glory that followed when the new
world was revealed But scientist,
are gravitating to the thought tina
the meaning that the light was gooC
was that from it all good was t.
come that when to the souls of mel
perfect light should come, they woulC
be like those that dwell in the realn
where light is born that within
light all the properties, when under
stood, to drive away disease and darI
thoughts and put mortals in accor'
with those that are immortal, AM
that when the Master said, 81 am tn
light of the world he meant tn
perfection that succeeds when a
that is dark in thought or act or con
dition is driven away, and the spac
between men and the angels is elm
mated. Goodwin's Weekly.
