SEA CABLES.

Lying along the beds OF ocean are
about two hundred and twenty-five
thousand miles of submarine tele-
graph cables. More than half OF this
immense mileage is British and ev-
cry year British messages number all
told 100.000,00o words. In forty years
we have virtually forgotten that the
seas We're once barriers to interna-
tional communication. Now they have
been narrowed by speedy ships and the
deep-lying cables until. as far as
communication Is concerned. they are
little wider than streams across which
men can almost shout to each other.
Great depths have been conquered by
the cable layers The greatest known
depth of the sea is in the mid
Pacific ocean, and is recorded at five
thousands two hundred and sixty nine
fathoms-thirty-o thousand six
hundred and fourteen feet-or sixty
six feet shorter than six statute miles.
This sounding was obtained on the
United States steamship Nero. and
II is greater than any elevation on
our continent, or, so far as known, in
the world.
