ABOUT SUBMARINE CABLES

In the early days Of submarine cables
the. minimum tariff was. 500 for twenty
words and IS for each additional word
This was reduced after a few years to
$25 for ten words. In 1879 a rate Of 81
a word was introduced. The word-rate
system proved popular and was soon es-
tablished universally. Since 1888 the ca
BILE rate across the Atlantic has been down
ranges from that figure to IS a, word be-
tween England and Peru. The average
for. the whole world is 81 a word and this
the Commercial Cable company charges
from 70 America to the Philippines, as
against the former toll Of $235. From New
York to New Zealand the charge is only
$1.5O a word. There are 100000 miles Of
submarine cables, enough to go eight
times around the globa. Their cost was
about S2OO, 600, 900. Their present value. is
$500, 0OO, 900. Deep-sea cables are solid
investment. The shortest cable is one
fourth mile in length: the longest is 49,
900 miles. The total number Is ], 700
Nearly all Of the shorter lines are the
property Of governments. They aggregate
10 per cent Of the whole. Private corpora
~ cal Or 80 per cent OF
the total mileage. The life Of the deeps
sea cable Is from thirty to forty years.
The main, portion liesiin a bed OF .ooze two
miles or more beneath the surface Of the
water, and is practically imperishable. IN
shallow water cables are attacked by
sharks, swordhsh, sawfish, rocks and an
chors. In the Firth OF Forth thirteen
ships anchors were once found entaneled
In length Of four miles Of cables.

THE WORLDS DIAMONDS

As the result of last'nonth.s advance of
per cent diamonds are now dearer by
20 per. cent than at any time since the
consolidation Of the De Beers mines in
South Africa. The United States last year
Imported diamonds. to2the value OF $8,4O3, :
222. The output of the De Beers companies
which control SO per cent Of the world S
supply, was for the year ending in No
vember, 1903, $26, zoe, 900, on which was re-
allied profit of $11, 1000. 1t is esti-
mated that the South African mines have
added $400,000,000 worth of diamonds to
the worlds stock. Surprise will be excited
by the: statement that not per cent of
the diamonds in the world have been lost
in 100 years. Amsterdam is still the cen
ter OF the diamond industry. There 1856
persons are engaged in splitting, polishing
and cutting these precious stones in sixty
four factories Considering the expert
ness demanded for this work their weekly
wages OF from $10.05 to $20.1O appear dis
to the skill required The
United States has become the chief i'm
porter Of diamonds, with Russia next and
France and England in the order named.
No doubt their increased popularity with
us. is in part due to the recognition Of
their desirability as an Investment not
liable to great 1uctuation in, value.

Not Yet.

The Luverne Herald makes the
point editorlally that instead Of the
merger decision taking the merger out
of state politics it has emphasized 1t
as live issue. If the decision had
been favorable to. the merger, the Her
aid continues, the whole question
would have been disposed Of, and
those who denounced Governor Van
SAINT for his course In the matter, who
ridiculed the stand taken by the gov
erner, characterized It as political
bunoombe' and 'humbug,' declared
that the merger movement was 4only a
quarrel between the railroads. and
maintained that the rights and inter-
ests Of the public were in no manner
affected or concerned, would have had
some warrant for their hostile atti-
tude; the republican party would have
been discredited and the magnificent
victory won by the republican party
In the tlast +campaign- the splendid In
dorsement Of the governors stand by
the people Of the state-would have
been empty and meaningless
Now, however, with the clearly in
Dictated purpose of@the merger people
to save all they can from the wreck
and maintain as far as possible the
practical results OF consolidation, 1T as
nothing less than imperative that the
republicans Of Minnesota should Sc
lect sas their candidate for governor
q man who is IN full accord with the
expressed will OF the republican party

on this great isst1e-a candidate who
will take up ana carry on the work SO,
well advanced by our present execu-
tive. Surely. under these circum-
stances, 1t is inconceivable that the
republicans Of Minnesota could stulti-
fy themselves and jeopardize the cause
for which they have stood so valiantly
by nominating as their candidate for
governor q man who openly declared
his disapproval OF Governor Van SAINTS
warfare against the merger, and who
was notoriously in sympathy with the
merger
In other words. the supreme court
has declared the policy Of the state
administration toward the merger
sound. It will continue to be sound
until the promoters of the merger give
some evidence of a disposition to re-
linquish the grip with which they
seek to monopolize the transportation
of the northwest. They haven't done
that yet.

usual but they have been bad for
years. That they have been so bad as
to call for Intelligent and vigorous Of
fetal action for Improvement is we'll
understood by all who have been in
a. measure responsible for those con-.
ditions. And yet no adequate steps
have been taken, no definite plans

The silence of the public has en-
couraged the Indifference Of those In

which was contemplated when our

That Is q filtration plant for the treat

it is delivered to the public. Another
suggestion which has merit is the
bringing Of water by pipe lines from
the river at a point above sources OF
nearby contamination. This may
ultimately become an essential part
Of our reservoir and filtration system,
the water not only being taken from
points less subject to contamination.
but also stored in settling basins and
filtered, as q further precaution.
We like the idea suggested by Judge
Simpson Of an expert commission to
