Wireless telegraphy will have to
compete with ocean cables for some
time to come. A company has recent
" been organized to lay a cable from
Seattle to Valdez, Alaska, and thence
to Vladivostok. The cable will bring
Asiatic Russia and the gold-felds Of
Alaska into close communication with
the markets of the United States, and
expand the interest of Americans in
the Orient.

America, being big country and
rich one, is able'to spend on it's pleas
ures sums which reach enormous totals
each year. There are plenty of amuse-
ments which have a place on the
country's balance sheet in the hundred
million class, but most of them are Of
kind in which all or nearly all Of
the people participate to great ex-
tent. One form of pleasure, however,
which comparatively few people can
enjoy, and which yet ranks high in
the total amount spent ON it, is for
eign travel. An expert in the naviga-
ton business has been recently max
ing an estimate of what our tourists
will spend abroad this year, and he
places the amount at $10OO00,O0O.
From the port Of New York there will
be sixty-seven sailings of frst-class
steamships for Europe each month.
They will carry approximately 1880
cabin passengers a month, or $4,000 in
the four months of the season. Enough
tourists will sail earlier or later, it is
estimated, to bring the total to 1885,
600. For their passage this army of
travel will pay $31 100000, and for
their living and other expenses good
$70,0OO,0O0 more, or total of at least
$10O,OO0,OO0. AS the steamship lines
are owned almost entirely by foreign
ers, it Is near the truth to say that
this sum goes into foreign pockets,
where 1t becomes an important factor
in the settlement Of the balances Of
foreign trade. Latterly the United
States has been sending abroad each
year goods to the value Of $500, O0O, 600
or $5OO,O00,O0O more than the value Of
the goods it buys abroad. Foreign
nations have, therefore, just this large
a balance to settle for in some other
way than by sending US manufactures
in exchange. The $1OO,OOO,0OO worth
of services they give to our tourists
helps them out materially in the set

that any one on the premises knows how

that any one on the premises knows how
to use the apparatus.
There is, however a distinguished ex-
ception to this rule. 1t is not generally
known that King Edward VII has con-
siderable knowledge Of the routine Of fire
brigade work, and that on the occasion
of an outbreak at Marlborough House
when he was Prince of Wales it was
through his exertions and the promptness
with which he ordered hole to be cut
through a floor and hose inserted that
the fire was extinguished before the ar
rival of the regular fremen.
The Prince of Wales would be quite
competent 1t is said, to take the position
o. superintendent of fire brigade should
a revolution deprive him OF his exalted
station. The Prince learned the work of
fire extinguishing when he was in the
navy, and it so fascinated him that he
took up the study Of fire-fghting on land
and at one time he made it his hobby.
AS a result, perhaps, OF this fad in the
mother country the colonies have begun
to take 1t up, and even in distant New
South Wales there is now a woman's fire
brigade which is said to have earned dis
tinction in several notable fights with the
