A COMMON BLUNDER.
MANY PERSONS EXPECTED AT
LANTIC CABLE WOULD FLOAT.
Problem Not Understood When First
Cable Was Laid-Plans to OBJ
viate the Supposed Diff
ficulty.

When it was first proposed to lay q
marine cable many intelligent persons
said it would remain suspended at a
certain depth because of the density
of the water due to pressure from
above. Of course the pressure in
creases with the depth on all sides Of
the cable in it's descent through the
sea, but as practically everything on
earth is more compressible than water
it is obvious that the iron wire, yarn,
gutta-percha and copper conductor
forming the cable must be more and
more compressed as they descend.
Thus the cable constantly increases
In density, or specific gravity, in going
down, while the equal bulk of water
surrounding it continues to have,
practically speaking, nearly the same
specific gravity as at the surface
Without this valuable property of wa
ter the hyraulic press would not ex~
list.
Some of the most distinguished ma
val men have made the blunder that
is mentioned above. Even at COM
paratively recent period Capt. Marryat
of the British navy, the celebrated
nautical author, wrote in one of his
novels: What a mine of wealth must
lie buried in the sands! What riches
lie entangled among it's rocks or re-
main suspended in the unfathomable
gulf where the compressed fluid is
equal in gravity to that which it en-
circles!"
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
posed difficulty it was gravely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at a
given maximum depth between buoys
and floats, or even parachutes, at
which ships should call, hook on and
send messages to the shore. Others
proposed to apply gummed cotton to
the cable, set it af1oat and leave the
gum to dissolve and 'let the cable
down quietly"

An Appeal.

To the Voters Of Pennington Schoo
District No, "a, Township So, Nortl
Range East, ST. Francois County
Missouri:
We, the undersigned, do most earn
estly appeal to Your good reason and
philanthrophy to aid the Board of Edu'
cation to have and maintain 3 months
school in said district for the ensuing
year, by voting for an increase of taxes
for that purpose, as the same is sub
mitted to the qualified voters at the an.
nual election TO be held April 9th,
1904. We believe, as matter Of right,
that the children of this school district
ought to have the advantage of nine
months education each year, aud that
the simple sum of ten cents on 800
is so small that any man, whether he
has children or not, cannot object to
aiding in the public good Of his coun-
try and the rising generation to the
amount Of one dollar on the thousand
of his wealth. As none but taxpayers
can vote upon this proposition we, in
conclusion, appeal to your generosity
and philanthropy for public good.
