CABLE CHRISTENED IN
MEMORY OF ]. W. MAcKAY
CONTINUED from page u

The navy has made two surveys OF
the bottom of the Pacific along the.
cable route; the first in 1891, from San
Francisco to Honolulu, by the steam
ers Aibatross and Thetis, and the other
in 1899, from Honolulu to Manila, By
the Nero, a converted collier. 1t was
found that from the coast Of California
to Honolulu there is a natural lane
along the ocean floor 800 miles wide,
seemingly formed for the express pur-
pose Of Hospitality receiving on its sur
face submarine cable
From Honolulu to Luzon $50 sound
ings were taken by the Nero. The
characteristics of the bottom and the
temperature of the surface water were
noted at each sounding. and these data,
together with the meteorological OBJ
servatiOns and the records of specific
gravity, bottom temperature and ocean
currents, give all the information
needed for laying the cable.
Only two obstacles were encountered
by the Nero that would in anyWise in
terfere with the laying and operation
Of a cable, and these can be readily
avoided by making a slight detour
around them. The first of these OBJ
stacleS is a submarine mountain short
distance west of Midway island, rising
from the bottom of the ocean at a
depth of 1900 fathOms to within eighty
ond obstacle is one of the deepest ma
rlne abysses yet found in the world.
It is about 500 miles east Of Guam, and
the depth of water there is more than
4 500 fathoms, or nearly six miles.
Submarine volcanoes are serious
menace to ocean cables. and several
such volcanoes are known to exist in
the neighbOrhood of the link from San
Francisco to Honolulu, though not d.
rectly in its pathway.
Coral formations abound near the
Hawaiian islands. In hauling up the
shore end of the cable precautions will
there be taken TO shield the line from
any possible effects from the coral
builders by sheathing the shore end OF
the cable with steel armor.
Russia long ago contemplated a Pa
cific cable from Siberia TO America,
by way of Bering strait, and another
from Kamtschatka to Alaska, BY way
of the AIeutian islands, but eventually
abandoned both projects as unpFOft-
able More recently Great Britain has
manifested a growing desire to secure
cable communication between her
Asiatic and Australian dependencies
and British Columbia. Such line, al
ready referred TO. is even now in proc
ess of construction, but the chances
are that the American cable to Ma
Mia via Honolulu VIII be in operation
before the British lire Is completed.

YOUNG EDISON.
The Man of the Hour in the Me-
tropoIis-His Wonderful In
Vention Pronounced the Great
est Boon of the Age.

New York, Dec. 14-Thomas A. Edi-
son jr.'s remarkable discovery of the
new curative force which he has en-
bodied in his Magno- Electric Yitalizer
seems likely to make the young man as
famous in the world of invention as his
distinguished father, while as a bene-
factor TO suffering humanity he is al
ready more sought after than the noted
austrian surgeon, Professor I4orenZ.
No discovery in modern times ever
aroused one half the interest that is
now being evinced in young Edison's
invention. 1t is pointed out by scien-
lists that the MagnO- Electric Vitalizer
is the most powerful and rer,arka BILE
curative force in existence today. There
seems to be no limit either to its pow
ers or its possibilities
1t is equally adapted to the relief of
the most complex disorders of the
nerves, such as nervous proStration or
paralysis; to the cure of diseases of the
blood, such as rheumatism, catarrh and
malaria; to lung and respiratory COM
plants like consumption and asthma:
10 digestive troubles, such as dyspep-
STA and rnalnutrition; to the various or
ganic and Intestinal conditions which
result in Bright's disease and appendi-
cltls, as we'll as to the many circula-
tory defects that are evidenced by heart
disease and failing strength In fact
say the scientists, the Vitalizer fully
merits the name Mr.. Edison has be-
slowed upon it, for it stores up and
communicates vitality.
Much of young Mr.. Edison's present
popularity is undoubtedly due to the
fact that he has resoluteIy refused to
allow his invention to be exploited by
persons who would be likely to regard
IT more as a commercial proposition
than as an opportunity to relieve the
of hun 7 h-,c
a price upon the Vitalizer only suficient
TO cover the cost Of manufacture and is
distributing it only through his own
company
When Mr.. Edison was seen in his
laboratory yesterday. he said: USUALLY
do not care 10 talk about my work.
but in the matter of the Vitalizer [
feel that duty and responsibility
has been laid upon ms and that the
public should be allowed TO know That
pain and sickness can, at last, be ban
ished from the earth. It has been nv
lifelong ambition to create something
that should give HAPPINESS to the world
and feel now that have succeeded.
Several attemDtS have been made to
induce me to sell the Vitalizer to pro-
nnoters. but l feel that if did so I
should not be doing my duty to hu-
manity- There has been bestowed up-
on me the power to help the sick and
suffering and want everybody to
know that I viii not allow capital to

IS a FAMOUS PRIEST.
Father Lagan, Who Received Last

dIASI AdSdu, VINO -Rece1Ved Last
Confession From Durrant.
Interest in the famous Durrant muir
der case was revived yesterday in Og-
den by the presence in this city of the
Rev Father Lagan- Father Lagan was
the priest to whom Theodore Durrant
made his last confession and who was
the condemned mans spiritual adviser
during the last few weeks of his life.
Father Lagan, therefore, is probably
the only man living who knows wheth-
er Durrant was guilty of the murder
for which he was hanged or was the
victim of chain of circumstantiaI
evidence.
The priest has never in any way re-
ferred TO the subject in such a. man
ner as to give the slightest intimation
of the truth of the famous case
Father Lagan was in Ogden for the
purpose of preaching the dedicatory
sermon for st. Josephs Catholic
church.

altv."
Professor Fowler's life was one of I'M
usual activity. devoted to literary and sci
entific pursuits, requiring a high order of
ability, and all who knew him during his
official life of a third Of a century in Wash
ington bear testimony to the fidelity, zeal
and ability ever displayed by him in the
discharge Of all duties committed to his
care. He was born in Stockbirdge Mass
ana graduated from the University Of YER
mont in 1S4S. and, Immediately after gradu-
alton, he went to New York city and was
engaged in literary work for many years.
At the beginning of the civil war, in 1861, he
was appointed chief clerk Of the United
States sanitary commission. He came to
Washington in that year to accept that Do
s1tion, and remained here during the war
On closing up his work he was selected by
Henry j. Raymond, editor Of the New York
Times and his classmate at college, as one
OF the associate editors. He accepted a
chair in the Agricultural College of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania in 1866, becoming
professor of English literature. which posi-
ton he resigned in 1868 to accept a position
In the bureau Of education here under DR..
Barnard, and since then he lived in this
city. In July, 1869. he was appointed to a
position in the patent office, and in seven
years he rose to the position Of principal
examiner, in charge of the division of steam
engineering, which position ne held until
his death. He filled this position, as the
acting commissioner said, with marked
distinction and his long and faithful serv-
ice brought to him the respect and esteem
of all who were associated with him, as well
as those who had official business before
him, not alone because Of his sincere deyo-
ton to his duties and earnest endeavor to
discharge those duties with due regard to
the rights of the public and inventors, but
because of the unfailing courtesy that al
ways characterized him.
