New York aud Mr., HilPs available

dency
Mr. Hill is not an available can
didate, not because his state failed
to go democratic this year, but be-
cause Mr.. Hill himself has not gone
democratic for several years. He
ia credited with the authorship Of
the phrase, IL am democrat, but
he borrowed it from Mr.. Cleveland
and neither one of them could prove
title to it before an impartial jury.
That is rather severe on both Mr..
Hill and MIR. Cleveland.

lands and at both ends are completed,
and it is expected to have the cable In
operation before the end Of the year.
Now that this cable is>completed the
two big cable ships, Anglia and Co
lonia. will Immediately start to assist
in the construction Of the American
cable as projected by the late John
". Mackay. This cable will join Ma.
Mia and San Francisco and wiz be
over 1900 miles long.
The route chosen is from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, 2,0S9 miles; Homo
lulu to Midway island. 2,040 miles;
Midway island to Guam, 1920 miles;
Guam to Manila, N1,520 miles, and from
Manila to the Asiatic coast, $50 miles,
The work between Midway and Guam
islands will be conducted in the deep
est water yet discovered. 1t is expected
that the cable will be laid without ac-
cident and that the United States will
be in direct communication with the
Philippines by the next Fourth Of July.
In July. 1858, the first submarine Ca
BILE, that across the Atlantic. was COM
pleted and operated Since that time
nearly 100000 miles of cables have
been laid, and now. after forty-four
years, they encircle the globe.

CONCERNING CALENDARS.
Some Interesting Ones Date as Far
Back as the Fourth Century.

Some Interesting Ones Date rs Far
Back as the Fourth Century.
Among the Greeks and Romans al
manacs or calendars were not written
for the general public, but were pre-
served as part Of the esoteric learning
of the priests, whom the people had to
consult not only for the dates Of the
festivals, but Ger the proper times when
various legal proceedings might be in
stituted. About 300 B. c., however,
one Encius Flavius. secretary to Ap-
plus Claudius, stole these secrets by re-
peated applications to the priests and
collated the information so gained. 1t
was really publishing an almanac
when, as Iivy relates, Flavius exhibit
ed the tasti on white tables around
the forum. From this time similar
tablets containing the calendar, the
festivals, astronomical phenomena and
sometimes illusions to historical events
became quite common. They have been
dug up in Pompeii and elsewhere.
There are also eXtant Christian cal
endars dating as far back as the fourth
century, which give the names of the
saints and other religious information.
One of the most famous of the cal
endarS OF the middle ages is that COM

is conjcctured, for the first time, rs IT
seems to have been survival from the
time of Ptolemy's "Almagesi,' a collec-
ton of classic observations and prob
lens relating to geometry and astron-
omy.
The first printed almanac was the
PRO Pluribus Annis," issued at Vienna
in 1457 by an astronomer named Pur-
bach. The earliest known almanac de-
voted expressly to the year of issue
was published by Radicals in 1893.
Thenceforth the ephemeral yearly
character of the publication came to be
definitely recognized by almanac max
ers. Nostradamus set the fashion of
Incorporating predictions of coming
events into almanacs, fashion that
has continued TO this day in all purely
astrological brochures of this sort
despite intermittent efforts TO sup
press it by royal authority in France

few days ago with the end of the last
link Of the British transpaciiic cable

This new cable, the only one across

in British North America, to Sydney,
Australia. The last link connects Suva
with Tanning island, in the middle Of
the Pacific and short distance south
of the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is about
2.1OO miles in length. The sections
connecting Tanning island with Van
couver and Suva with Australia were
already in place. The entire length of
the cable is about 1000 nautical miles.
The longest section of the cable, that
connecting Vancouver with Tanning is

cable steamer Colonia. The distance is
1856 miles. From Suva the cable

Scotch Expedition Hopes to Add 10
the Worlds Knowledge.
The worlds knowledge of the Ant
arctic ocean, men of science believe,
will pc greatly enriched by the explo-
rations of the Scottish national antarc-
tic expedition, which recently set sail
from the port of Troon under the lead
ership of Mr.. William S. Bruce. The
party consists of thirty-two hardy
Scots, and their ship, the Scotia, Is
stanch whaler fitted with an auxiliary
screw capable of seven knots an hour.
The Scotia is splendidly equipped
and has several novel features, includ-
ing an apparatus for taking birdseye
views from kites, moving picture ma
chimes for obtaining records of the
movements of south sea organisms ana
5000 fathoms of cable, with the OBJ
ject of sounding the ocean where Sir
James Ross failed to find bottom With
1000 fathoms.
Mr.. Bruce, the head Of the cXpedi-
ton, has already had no little expert
ence in arctic and antarctic exploring.
He sailed as naturalist with an ant
arctic expedition which went from
Dundee in 1892. He also accompanied
the Jackson-Harmsworth polar expedi-
ton and the Prince of Monaco's eXpe-
dition to Spitzbergen. Altogether four
VOYAGES have been made to the arctic
regions by him since 1896. Mr.. Bruce
is director of the laboratory of marine
zoology at the Surgeons hall of Edin-
burgh.
At the outset the Scotia will steer
straight for the Falkland Islands. From
