Outfit Costly.

The maintenance OF a cable ship costs
81 800 a day. exclusive OF the cost OF the
cable which has to be used 10 make the
splice. which, in some cases. runs from
$50 TO 800 miles. according to the luck in
the weather and making connections,
and. at the figure OF $3.50 TO tI,0oo mile,
which deep sea cables are worth. il is
not difficult 20 estimate the amount that
company will drop in a repairing ven
ture unattended with good luck.
What stands alone in cable repairing
annals is the extraordinary case OF the
1874 line which. owing TO a series Of un-
fortunate mishaps occupied more than
"a year and cost almost 10000 OF about
One-fourth Of its original cost. Ordi-
narily. however. II Is estimated that the
repairs Of every working Atlantic cable
cost $40 600 a year. After thirty years
cable deteriorates so from natural
causes that it becomes cheaper to lay a
new one than to repair that in use.

considerably. and when cables break in
their early years. in waters where ice
bergs. traWIers' anchors, seismic dis
turbances and kindred causes are not
possible, their fractuTing is due TO their
being badly laid. sections being suspend
ed over irregularities OF the bottom and
breaking apart from abrasions due to
the currents acting thereon.
The greatest Of midwinter repairs was
made IN the last season at a depth OF
Just 500 fathoms-two and six-tenths
nautical miles. This had occupied one
ship for four months without success,
and later another ship spent similar
period in "a futile endeavor to repair a
second cable these TWO vessels costing
$500 600 for ships alone. besides the value
OF cables required to replace that de-
stroyed in the efforts TO recover them.
