GABLE LINE PAYING

Victoria (B. c.. Colonist-The Lon
don Chamber of Commerce, whose com
mittee' has unanimously resolved in
favor of state-owned cables, presents
strong endorsement of the proposal
because it is wholly nonpolitical. Sir
Sanford Fleming, who is the real orig
inator of the new movement for cheap
tefegraphy, which Mr. Henniker Heaton
has espouSed so warmly and efficiently,
has contributed toward the discussion.
We quote:
The objections urged by Mr.. Ward
are not based on the real facts of the
case. He states, for example, that there
is loss of $4,000 year on the Pa
cifc cable. can give this an emphatic
denial on the authority of the accounts
laid before the British Parliament. As
a matter of fact, there never has been
any loss in working the Pacific cable
from the beginning. Each year there
has been an excess Of earnings over
expenditure, this excess having ranged
from s125,00o to $287.000 year. Our
own Auditor-Generai confirms the fact
that this highly important work is
financially in a prosperous condition,
that the revenue from traffic not only
meets all current expenses but yields
a surplus, which already discharges half
the annuity designed to pay off in
a fixed term of years the whole of the
borrowed capital, and at the same time
provide a reserve fund to renew the
cable.
Mr. Ward is equally mistaken with
respect to the proposed Atlantic cable
The proposed new State cable between
Canada and England would serve a

TATTOOING MUST STOP
AMONG NAVY SAILORS

WASHINGTON, NovembeF 19.-The
Surgeon General of the Navy has sound
ed a strong note of warning against the
dangers of the practice of tattooing IN
the navy. "The department and its
subordinate officers. says he in re-
port to the Secretary, may not realize
/ the existence of a serious side to the
practice which threatens the best IN
| terest of both seamen and service, but
| the hope is entertained that heed may
/ be given TO the now established fact
| that the process of tattooing constitutes
an unusually potent vehicle for the
transmission of the most dreaded cutl-
cular and constitutional diseases IN
virulent form 1t is a type of yaccina-
ton, conducted vita utterly ignorant
and condemnable lack of preeaution, in
which the virus imbedded may consist
of any one or a combination of infec-
tions, and which is attended by imml-
nent possibility, if not probability, OF
disastrous consequences to health.
Syphilis and tuberculosis and various
other local and general ailments are re-
corded results of tattooing, and deaths
have been reported from blood poison
ing acquired in this manner. 1t is an
evil to be suppressed, and official action
to that end should be prompt and Wig
orous. The German government has
recognized the insidious danger of the
practice, and steps are being taken to
suppress it. The British are awaken
ing to the same danger and urging ae-
ton by the government in the matter
as regards its army and navy. There
is need for the naval authorities of the
United States to take official cogniz-
ance of the danger in the practice, and
it is recommended that the department
direct the discontinuance of tattooing
throughout the navy, at least so far as
concerns the performance of the opera
tion by persons in the navy, by an
order which shall express absolute pro-
hibition. as nothing short of that-would
be effective Medical officers educa
tional work among the enlisted force
on board ship and elsewhere should in
elude a word of advice on this subject
in the light of its dangers, and such
enlightenment would simplify the en-
forcement of any regulation against
it,"

pect her. She could not meet him. She
could not endure his suspicion, nor the
sight of betty's happiness. She had
fallen low indeed. Now she must go.
She had little money in her purse, and,
having hastily made few preparations,
she left the house half an hour later by
one of the side entrances. No one missed
her. An hour passed before any one
knew she had gone.
Douglas and Betty met. They were
accepted lovers now; there did not seem
to be a cloud in their sky. Douglas told
Betty in great astonishment what had
really happened.
1T is the most extraordinary thing |
ever heard of" he said. "The picture is
going to be hung on the line, and they
tell me it will be one of the successes of
the year; but the marvel is that it is moi

it And yet, at the same time, who has

artistic power than i was when it left

thing?" =.
Betty was full of wonder and curiosity,
but Studley was not in the secret, and
could not cnlighten her.
The picture was hung, and proved to
bt-as the academicians had foretold ID
great success. The young artist received
his full need of praise, and orders for
future work poure1 in. There was al
ways crowd surrounding this picture of
a sorrowful girl, whose eyes expressed
such mute anguish, whose lips were full
of despair.
1t was finally bought by rich Ameri
can for a large sum o: money, and Betty
Rosyn and Douglas Studley were happily
married.
