wanted, and this line of argument in
congress was the greatest obstacle
toward it's completion the Commercial
Pacific Gable company encountered.
1t took Is months to build the cable,
and all through the different phases of
construction Clarence w. Mackay was
Il close observer. When an attempt was
made to land the San Francisco end last
December Mr.. Mackay was injured in
an endeavor to loosen a hawser that had
become damned in the post. He took a
hand at the work himself and received
quite number of bruises when the
hawser suddenly freed ITSELF
The cost of the Pacific cable was be-
tween 100000 and $10,00O,O 900, and Mr..
Mackay took up the financing of the
enterprise where his father had left off.
The salient point of benefit from the
opening of this new round-the-world
line, according to Mr. Mackay, is that it
opens the trade of the orient. From q
government standpoint it will save the
United States between 100000 and
100000 yearly in cable tolls. This is in
time of peace. In time of war, the en-
tire cable will be turned over to the gov
eminent for it's use. This is an en-
tirely voluntary act on the part of the
cable company and is in accordance with
the wishes of the elder and younger
Mackay. AS the latter puts it: "It is an
American institution and in times of
war the American government shall
have the full use of it,
AS to Mr.. Mackay's life, about his only
recreation these days is taken at his
summer home, Roslyn, L. l., or on his
chartered yacht, Colonia, in which he
makes the trip from the country to New
York city and back each day. He is in
his office every day in the week, except
an occasional Saturday, from nine in the
morning until five in the evening, and
his capacity for work has been remarked
by every one who comes in contact with
him.
Although an all-around athlete. Mr..
Mackay has paid little attention to ath-
let1cs since his fathers death. He
seems to have settled down in the BUSH
ness rut. He is an expert racquet play
er, but even this, his favorite sport. he
has not INDUCED in. He still keeps a
stable OF polo ponies, but does not play
the game.
Since he disposed of his racing stable
at Saratoga In August last year Mr.:
Mackay has not owned race horse. His
stable was one Of the best on the turf,
but when his father died young Mr..
Mackay cabled from his bedside to his
trainer, Charlie" Hill, to sell every
horse he had, and they were disposed 81

BILL TO PROTECT JOINTS.
What Barnd Called Williams Anti
Smashing Bill.

me anti-snashers' bill introduced in
the house by Archie Williams, was rec
commended for passage at one time by
the house committee of the whole, but
jerks of Franklin concluded it was too
stringent and moved a reconsideration.
he said that as the bill was drawn it
would be a penitentiary offense to cut
one initials on building or do any lit
tie trivial thing like that. His motion
to reconsider was carried and then he
moved to strike out the enaeting clause
Of the bill Mr. Williams the author of
the bill, said Mr.. jerks evidently had a
wrong idea of it. jerks insisted that he
was right in his construction of the
wording of the BILL but he offered to
withdraw his motion TO kill it if Mr.
Williams would hold it up for a day and
amend it. Williams agreed to do this

should be. An act to enable the police
of Topeka to protect the joints
My friend from Ness is in error, -
said Mr. Williams. This bill is not to
protect the jointists because the joint
lists own no property, but we have pro

1t may not be to protect the joint
lists, said Mr.. Barnds but it is to pro-

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
House Passes Bill Providing
for Them.

Senator Porter's bill providing for in
dustrial training in the public schools
has passed the house by a vote of SIS to
q. It was vigorously opposed lly Brown
of Brown, and the state aid provision
was fought by Taylor of Osborne
i don't know why we should want
to turn every country school house into
a carpenter shop 1 think the farmers
sons get enough manual training as It IS
by the time they get their chores done.
What do We farmers want to build up
this sort of a. thing for? Next time they
will come in here and want a bigger ap-
preparation. I'm against it..
Speaker Pringle and a number OF 9TH
ers supported the bill. I take issue with
the gentleman from Brown said Mr.
Pringle. L don't think this bill will
make a carpenter shop out of every
school house, but / think it would be
great benefit to the children of the
country schools if they were taught to
set a plane or saw a board, if you
please, or construct a right angle"
The gentleman from Brown reminds
me of a speech of Jerry Simpsons said
Dr. OsDOnnell. Jerry came back from
Washington once and was trying to
justify his action in voting against an
appropriation for the navy. What do
you fellows want a navy for? he said.
A navy can't pillow corn The argu-
ment by the gentleman from Brown re-
minds me of that speech.
The idea of manual training in the
little country school houses Of this state
is preposterOus,' - said Mr.. Brown in de-
Tending himself Just imagine a man
teacher in a country school with from
p to go pupils running all the way from
the primer class to the big girls in al
gebra-how much time will he have,
after he hears 40 to 50 classes. to teach
the girls how to sew or the boys how to
saw boards2"
Taylor of Osborne moved to strike out
the provision for state aid and the APP
preparation of $4,000 a year which went
with It. This was really the meat OF
the bill, and it called out several brief
speeches from the supporters of the
measure. which was finally carried.
The bill provides that the board of
education OF any city or the annual
school meeting of any district may make
levy OF not to exceed a half mill in
cities or one mill in districts for the
equipment and maintenance of a man
ual training department, which shall
nave course of study approved by the
state board of education. Another bill
already passed creates a normal manual
training school at Pittsburg, which will
turn out manual training teachers.
In districts which wish state aid, the
district clerk shall on July 1 of each
year make a report to the state superin
tendent, showing the amount expended
Tor manual training, the kind of work
done, and the length of time the manual
training department was maintained in
the preceding year. If the superintend-
ent IS satisfied with the work and if the
manual training department was main
tanned at least six months in the pre-
ceding year with special teacher at its
mead, the district shall receive a sum
from the state equal to that expended
by itself up to $3.50, but no more. Ten
thousand dollars year for each Of the

CHAMPAGNE IN WAR.
Empty Bottles May Serve to Fool
Battleship Lookouts.

When a submarine torpedo boat is
about to deliver her attack she must
rise close enough to the surface of the
sea in which she is submerged to make
a fresh observance.
Bearings are obtained by lifting out
of water the upper end of vertical
tubular device called a periscope.
The experiment would probably be
tried when the submarine was so near
to her foe that detection of the former
by the latter might prove a serious
matter. A few well-directed shots from
a small caliber rapid fire gun on the
threatened battleshiD would disable, If
they did not sink, its tiny assailanu.
IOokouts on big Warships have, there
fore, been trained to watch for any
thing which resembles the top of per-
iscOpe during naval maneuvers, and to
report their discoveries promptly. At
least such is the practice in the French
navy, which includes a eonsidera bic
number of submarines. and which has
given them many public trials.
1t has recently been noticed that
the end of a periscope looks like the
top of a champagne bottle. According

have already derived much fun from
