The Referendum Wins in Oregon

To many who are interested in the
progress of democratic ideas the most
significant result of the recent election
in Oregon is not the success of the per
sonally popular Democratic candidate
for Governor, while at the same time
the Republican congressman won by
increased majorities. but the adoption
by the people of constitutional amend
ment putting into effect i'll practical
form the principle of the Initiative and
Referendum.
Upon petition of five per cent. of
the legal voters any act passed by the
legislature must be submitted to pop
ular vote. Upon petition of eight per
cent. of the voters any measure, even II
voted down by the legislature, must be
SO submitted Many advocates of the
Referendum believe that in practice
few measures will be brought to the
actual test of a popular vote, holding
that the main effect will be to deter the
legislature from passing laws likely to
meet the disapproval of the people. 1t
is claimed also that when the people
have the right to demand submission OF
any measure to a popular vote, the
motives for bribery will be largely
eliminated. The idea seems to be gain
ing in favor as the years go on.-Ex-

DEPTH OF OCEAN CABLES.
Information Obtained in Regard to
Submarine Territory.
From Lippincott's Magazine.

From Lippncott's Magazine.
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 portions of the At
Iantic cables are over three miles below the
surface, and this is not necessarily the ex-
treme depth, for the cable may, and prob
ably does, pass from the top of one sub
marine hill to another without dropping
materially into the deep valleys between.
The greatest known depth of the sea is
1926 feet, or seven three-fifths miles, found
in the South Atlantic, about midway be-
tween the Island of Tristan dAcunha 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 Newfoundland, and about 81 600 feet or
nearly six and half miles, is reported
south Of the Bermudas. Even such enor-
nous depths these need not hinder cable
laying, so far as the theory is concerned,
but in practice. for reasons Of economy in
maintenance and otherwise 1t is found best
to take advantage of favoring conditions in
the oceans bed. To illustrate. all Of the
cables between the United States and Eu-
rope run up along our coast until they
reach the neiEhbOrhOOd of Newfoundland
before starting across to their destinations
In Ireland and France. The reason for this
i found in the range Of submarine table
lands. forming ideal cable bed. which
lies between the three latter countries.
In past years immense portions of this
submerged territory have been plotted and
mapped by various governmental and pri-
vate expeditions, and this knonledge is con-
stanuy being added TO. 1t becomes particu-
larry valuable in economic cable laying.
Except in extreme cases. the electric con-
ductOr is not dropped overheard haphazard.
On the contrary, the submarine mountains,
valleys and plains over which it is to take
its s.nuOus course are accurately selected
beforehand, and their general c0nfigura tion
soil covering, If any. and other peculiarites
properly taken into consideration. Special
varieties Of cable are manufactured TO meet
certain conditions known to exist where
they are to go. Like men in all trades the
cable layers must adhere closely to the
specifications given them in starting in or
der to perform the right kind of work
The steamship, therefore, while going
ahead and paying out the cable over the
stern pulley, is under the guidance of
skilled hands. following a certain path,
which has been pointed out for her by sages
on the mainland being the best adapted
for the comfort and ease of the electrical
conductor she IS depOsiting-

PILGRIMAGE TO GREENLAND.
Scientific and Literary Danes Who
Visit the Island.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New York Sun.
The high reputation which the Danes
have won by their scientific geoEraphicaI
labors is fully deserved Few people out
side Of Denmark and the ranks of profess
sional Seographers are aware Of the spen-
did work that has been done within the
past twenty years by the Danish govern
ment in the study and exploration of Green
land. A Danish expedition which left
Copenhagen last month for Greenland will
doubtless attract much attention. Its pur-
pose is somewhat different from that of
any other expedition that ever went to the
arctic regions. 1t is not going for explora-
ton. but the purpose is to collect the very
best material of all kinds for a general de-
scription cf the island ard its people which
shall be both good reading and scientifically
accurate. They call ii in Denmark the
Danish Library Greenland Expeditions"
perhaps this IS the first time that the word
literary has been applied to a band of
geographical travellers. 1t is not a govern
ment expedition, but the party was sent out
at the expense of various societies and prl-
vate individuals, and is provided with a
fine equipment.
A number Of specialists will take charge
of various phases Of the work Among
them is the painter Harald Molike. who.
won distinction by his paintings Of the
aurora borcalis; he will have charge of the
pictorial treatment Of the volume. Knud
Rasmussen, an educated Dane. who was
born in Greenland and is a perfect master
OF the Esquimau language. will be the inter-
prefer and his special duty viii be the coll
lection of Esquimau folklore and songs

Lord Salisbury's Talents.

copies of his verses into the great coat

Although the general tendency in English
photography has been to get rid of SUPER

arisen quite mania for adding useless o's,
substituting Us for is, doubling conson-
ants, and, worst of all, employing unpro-
nounceable French for native words be-
sides a number of other arbitrary incon-
sistencies.
Thus, to be in the fashion, one must write
the words tire, tiro, siren, sirup, cider,
siphon, cipher, Itch, dixie, trist, gill, etc,
with y, and sibyl, sybil, add unnecessary
e's or other letters in ballad, artist, moGist

There are surely difficulties and anomiIies
enough in our orthography and pronouncia-
tion without going out of our way to intro
duce more; what writers should rather seek
is to eliminate Inconsistencies as far as pos
sibie, to use the simplest forms both of the
words and their spelling, and, above all. rot
to label themselves snobs and pedants by
using French expressions (generalfy incor-
