! resistance obtained from the tests by
the resistance per nautical mile in terms
of the same temperature in order to
arrive at the approximate distance of
the fault from the testing station. A
knowledge of the bottom temperature is
therefore indispensable for accurate re-
suits, and in taking soundings a Their
mometer is always attached to the wire
a short distance above the sounder.
Sea water follows different law to
fresh water in the relation between its
density and its temperature. The densi-
ty of fresh water increases with de-
creasing temperature down to thirty
nine degrees F., so that till this tenn
perature is reached the coolest water is
always sinking to the bottom. After
thirty-nine degrees F., fresh water be-
gins to expand again, the coolest wa
ter remains at the top, and ice forms
there instead of at the bottom. This
law plays a very important part in the
economy of nature. Our fresh water
lakes and ponds would otherwise be
frozen into solid mass in winter, and
all the fish would be destroyed. AS 1t is,
the ice on the surface prevents any fur
Their loss OF temperature from evapora-
ton, and the process of freezing is
greatly retarded. In the case of sea
water, contraction continues, down to
it's freezing point twenty-five degrees
F., and the coolest water is always at
the bottom.
For this reason when taking a sound
ing a maximum and minimum Their
nometer gives the correct top and bot
tom temperature. In great depths an
ordinary thermometer cannot be used,
as the pressure causes an error eight
degrees to ten degrees F., and has been

which takes up the pressure, and the
inner bulb remains unaffected by it.
BOTTOM OF THE SEA IS COLD.
AS low temperature as twenty-seven
degrees F. has been taken in the south
Atlantic in the neighborhood of ice
bergs. Another sounding of 1900
fathoms further north in the same
ocean, gave a bottom temperature of
thirty-two degrees F., the last 1000
being described as absolutely
glacial. In the second 1000 fathoms the /
temperature rose to thirty-six and one
half degrees F., and in the next 500 to /
forty degrees F. Four hundred fathoms
seems to be the limit to which the heat
of the sun can penetrate. The most /
marked difference is at the top where |

the cable hut, and the end is inserted
through a hole in the floor. Testing
and speaking instruments are set up in
the hut, which is occupied day and
night during the laying by the cleo
trician in charge and his assistants.
When a satisfactory test has been taken
the ship gets slowly under way.
LAYING THE CABLE.
The scene on the deck of a cable
ship during the commencement of pay
ing out is full of interest to one who
has not witnessed it before. The cable,
being made fast on shore, drags itself
out as the ship moves forward. At
first it rises slowly from the tank, pas
sing along a series of guiding troughs
to the paying-out machine, round the
drum OF which it runs three times. Be-
tween this drum and the sheave at the
stern by which the cable leaves the
ship. stands the dynamometer. This
machine shows the strain to which the
cable is subjected, and plays an impor-

ed pressure, and carries it towards the
surface in spite of all it's efforts. This
kind of pnisadventure may be described
as falling upwards, and victims to it
no doubt meet a violent death soon
after leaving their accustomed level,
and long before their bodies reach the
surface in a distorted and unnatural
condition. Even ground sharks brought
up from a depth of only 500 fathoms die
before they gain the sea level.
GLOBIGERINA OOZE.
Amongst the various ocean deposits, a
gray ooze called "Globigerina'' suits
cables best, while shore deposits are
the worst. The iodine contained in the
seaweed found in shore deposits rapidly
corrodes unprotected sheathing wires.
To minimize this action, it is usual to
tar or pickle each sheathing wire
separately. Globigerina ooze is found
between 1900 and $500 fathoms but no
lower, as the delicate shells of carbon
ate of lime of which it is composed

brakes have to be eased, in order to al
low it TO run out at the same speed as
before.
The amount of cable in suspension
varies according TO the depth and rate
of paying out. In $500 fathoms with
the ship steaming at eight knots per
hour, no less than twenty-five miles of
cable are in suspension in the water.
Two and a half hours are occupied in
this case by any particular point in the
cable, from the time Of leaving the ship
to touching the bottom.
TESTING THE CABLE.
One of the most interesting spots on
board a cable ship during laying is the
testing room. Here in front of table.
glistening softly with the polished
ebonite and bright brass terminals of
various testing instruments, sits an
electrician, watching a round disc Of
light. as it sways TO and fro on grad
uated scale. This disc is a reflection
from the mirror of the galvanometeT,

thusiastic cable engineer once declared
that globigerina ooze had been deposit
ed by Providence at the bottom of the
sea with a special view to submarine
cables, as they sink into it and are
thus protected from any disturbing in
fluences which may exist on the ocean
bed.
LANDING THE CABLE.
On reaching the place selected for
proaches as close to the shore as pos
sible and letting go anchor prepares to
land the shore end. In some companies
this is done by means of RATS, but tie
Silvertown method is somewhat differ
ent. a couple of spider-sheaves, or
large V-shaped wheels in light iron
frames are sent ashore and fixed by
sand anchors some sixty yards apart.
Hauling lines are paid out from the ship
reeved through the sheaves and brought
back on board again. One end of this
continuous line is attached to the ca BILE
and the other to the picking-up gear.
The engines are then set in motion. and
the cable is dragged slowly out of the
ship towards the shore. AS it goes,
large india-rubber buoys inflated with
air are dashed to If every fifty or sixty
feet to keep it afioat and prevent the
damage which would result from Il be-
ing dragged along the bottom.
When sufficient cable has been landed
the piece on shore is laid in a trench

tant part in cable-laying. As the wa
ter deepens the weight of cable in sus-
pension tends TO make it run out more
quickly. This tendency is eounteracted
by increasing the weights on the brake
arms of the paying-out machines. If
the water shoals suddenly the weight
of the cable cupboard is considerably
reduced. the strain lessons and the

like that of the North Atlantic, aver
ages thirty-five degrees F. The light
rays of the sun penetrate only a short
distance beneath the surface of the sea,
and as far as eXtraneous illumination is
concerned, the ocean abysses remain in
absolute darkness. Some deep sea fish,
however, have two parallel rows of
small circular phOsphorescent organs
running down the whole lengths of
their bodies, so that they resemble ships
at night with double rows of shining
portfolios. 1t is thought possible by
certain naturalists that portions of the
sea-bottom may be as brilliantly illu-
minated by this kind of light as the
streets of a large city after sunset.
PRESSURE AT THE SEA BOTTOM.
But the conditions which obtain at
these great depths are very unfavorable
to animal life. Apart from the glacial
temperature. the pressure for every 1000
fathOms is one ton to the square inch,
or 100 times greater than the atmos-
phere in which we live. At $500 fathoms
ii is twenty times more powerful than
that of the steam in an average loco
motive boiler. AS late as 1880. a lead
ing Zoologist explained the existence OF
deep sea animals at such depths by as

SAID BY WASHINGTON.

Be courteous to all, but intimate
with few, and let those few be well
tried before you give them your con-
fdence.
The company on which you i'm
prove most will be least expensive
to you.
1t is easy to make acquaintances,
but difficult to shake off, however
irksome and Improbable they are
found, after we have once commit
ted ourselves to them.
1t is a maxim with me not to ask
what, under similar circumstances, l
would not grant.
1 expressly forbid the sale or trans
portation out of the said common
wealth, of any slave l may die pos
sessed of, under any pretense what
goever.
In my estimation, more permanent
and genuine happiness is to be found
in the sequestered walks of con-
nubial life than in the giddy rounds
of promiscuous pleasure or the more
tumultuous and imposing scenes of
successful ambition.
Without virtue and without in
tegrity, the finest talents and the
most brilliant accomplishments can
never gain the respect and conciliate
the esteem of the truly valuable part
of mankind.
/ shall never attempt to palliate
my own foibles by exposing the err
ror of another.
Nothing would give me more real
satisfaction than to know the senti-
ments which are entertained of men
by the public, whether they be favor
able or otherwise.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHPLACE.
Bu< n Small Monument Marks the
Spot at Wakefield Farm on
the Potomac.

Mount Vernon has become a great
mecca for the American tourist; at
Yorktown and Valley Forge stand
stately reminders of the First Gem
tleman of America, while in every
part of the land the smallest memen-
toes of his life and actions are reli-
giously preseryed; but in magnificent
decay on the lower Potomac lies
Wakefield Farm, which was associ-
ated with his early life. A simple
granite shaft marks the spot where
George Washington was born, and a
few bricks and stones are all that
remain of his early home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century, but
the brick chimney, within whose arch
four people could sit, and the corner
stones, with a portion of the founda-
tion, were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed
into the hands of family which at
first showed some appreciation for
its associations. A succeeding gen
GRAFTON, however, tore down the
chimney and the remnant of the
walls in order to secure the bricks.
A marble slab bearing an inscription
giving the date of Washington's birth
and other information, which had
been set into the great arch, was
removed to the old family grave
yard; but in placing it beneath two
ancient fig trees planted by the moth
er of Washington, il was broken, and
its fragments lie there to-day, moss
grown and uncovered.
1t was in 1895 that the national
government erected at Wakefield a
miniature copy of the Washington
monument, with the inscription
"Washington's Birthplace" and in
small letters at the base the words:

AS A YOUTH.
Washington Did Many Things Wrhen
a Boy That Were Worthy of
n Grown Man

The early age at which Washington
developed the tender passion has been
noticed. In fact, it was despair at the
uncompromising attitude of a certain
"Lowland Beauty" that he fled to the
domain of Lord Fairfax, afterwards
his patron. The noble gentleman had
left England and buried himself in
the wilderness on account of disap-
pointed passion; perhaps George, who
was then coming Is, felt there might
be bond between two such wounded
hearts," at any rate, before he had
been many months under Fairfax's
eye, just as he was completing his six
teenth year, he set out on a surveying
expedition, The Englishman's ground
included thousands of acres of the
most fertile country in the world, ex-
tending in a wide strip from the sea
to the Alleghanies. II was no small
sign of confidence to allow youth to
lay out such country.
This position is merely a sample of
the many important places h, held.
At 10 he was major of the Virginia
militia; at 21 he commanded an impor-
tant expedition to Du Quesne. Small
wonder is it that his first love came so
young.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

SAID OF WASHINGTON.

Just honor to Washington can only
be rendered by observing his pre-
cepts and initiating his example,
Robert c. Winthrop.
However his military fame may
excite the wonder of mankind, it is
chiefly by his civil magistracy that
Washingtons example will instruct
them.-Fisher Ames.
A great and venerated character
like that of Washington is
not an isolated fact in history to be
regarded with barren admiration-it
is a dispensation of Providence for
good.-E. Everett.
He illustrated and adorned the civ
ilization of Christianity and furnished
an example of the wisdom and per
fection of it's teachings which the
subtlest arguments of it's enemies
cannot mpeach.-Zebulon B. Vance.
George Washington. the brave, the
wise, the good. Supreme in war, in
council and in peace. Washington,
valiant, without ambition; discreet,
without fear; confident, without pre-
sumption.-Dr. Andrew Lee.
To add brightness to the sun or
glory to the name of Washington is
alike impossible. Let none attempt
it. In solemn awe pronounce the
name, and in it's naked, deathless
splendor leave it shining on.-Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Let him who looks for a monument
to WASHINGTON look around the
United States. Your freedom, your
independence. your national power
your prosperity and your prodigious
growth are a monument to him.
