BINDER TWINE.
State Ownership and Operation
Senator Biggs, Of Audrain, PrOpOs'
es the Plan.

jefferson City, Mo-, March g.
Warden Hall and the Board Of
Prison Inspectors have fixed the
price that binder Irvine will be
sold to the farmers of Missouri
the present year at 81 cents per
pound.
This Irvine is manufactured at
the Penitentiary with convict la
Dor. and is sold to the farmers of
Missouri only, and at the actual
cost of production. Warden Hall
estimates that he will have 1900
900 pounds of this twine ready
for shipment at the time the farm
ers are ready to order it. This
will be about half the total amount
of Irvine consumed in the State
The binder-twine plant at the
Penitentiary is a new innovation
in Missouri, although a similar
one has has been in operation for
some years at the Kansas Peni'
Tertiary. In both instances, the
plants were installed to fight the
Binder-twine Trust, so called, anC
for the sole benefit of the farmers
who raise grain.
Last years output from thu
Penitentiary plans was rather
small, owing to the fact that thu
venture was entirely new, and tht
plant bad just been installed. i
is said, however, that the prison
plant resulted in bringing dowr
the price of Irvine almost to tn,
figure sold at by the State.
By another year it is expected
that this plant will be enlarged
sufficiently to furnish all the twin
used in this State. Under no cir
cumstances is any Of this twin,
sold outside Of Missouri.

The difficulty attendSN the efficient raaiuteuance of the necAorA Of suo marine telegraph cables, M which in' telIigence is flashed to the\ uttermost | ensd of the earth, is illustrated by the, reports of the newspapers that no few CT than siz of these cables were dam aged by the typhoon which recently ragged over the east coast of China,
 The various cable companies are, ot course, prepared for contingencies o{ this kind, and 3 fleet of some 46 spe- cialIy constructed vessels are con- stantIy employed in laying and repair ing cables in different parts of the world.
 The magnitude of these operations may be realized when it is said that the length of the cable lying along the the bed of the ocean is something like 225.000 miles Of these considerably more than one-half are British, while British messages number l00,0QO,Q ,Q0C words per annum. The cables lie al various depths, the greatest known depth of the ocean bel1g 5.69 miles lL the North Paicfc.
 Our cables are tested every week, " said an official of the Eastern Tele' graph company, to London newspaper man, land when Q fault Is detected Q repairing-ship is sent to the spot These ships are stationed at various centers, such as Gibraltar, Alden. Singapore, and the west and east coasts of Africa, and there IS always q re. serve stock of cables kept in tanhs at certain stations.
 "In shallow water the cables are sometimes fouIed by the anchors ot ships, and at the mouths of large rivers there is sometimes trouble when trunks, of trees and other ob- iects are swept into the sea and forced by the strong currents against tha cables. Then there are loring in- sects like the teredo. which bores it's way between the strands of iron wirs twisted round the core of the cable but in our newer cables we have pro- yided against the depredations Of the teredO by sheathing Of brass doiIed around the cable like ribbon"

His plan for the Crystal palace was accepted after 233 other plans had been declined. He also won fame as a landscape gardener and archi' tect, and was elected to parliament ass iiberal.--Chicago Tribune.
