PLAN TO EXTEND
ATLANTIC CABLE

ST JOHNS, y. F, March Sir
Robert Bond. premier Of Newfoundland,
announces that his government has
agreed upon a contract with the Com
Uercial Cable Company. by which the
latter will extend one Of its cables into
Newfoundland. and thence direct TO
New York city"
Clarence II Mackay, president OF the
Commercial Gable Company and Of the
Mackay companies, upon being shown
the above report, said: The report is
correct We have agreed TO cut one OF
our five transatlantic cables at a point
in the Atlantic known as the Flemish
Cap, which is about 800 miles east OF
Newfoundland, and there attach 70 the
European end Of the cable an entirely
new cable. which Will extend from the
Flemish Cap into St. Johns, N-cwr0und-
land, and thence direct from St. Johns
10 New York city. That is the ideal
route for a cable between Europe aud
America, because il divides into two
sections more equally than any other
route, the entire distance from Ireland
to New York city.
This viii enable us 20 operate the
cable direct between New York city
and ireland with much greater ac-
curacy and speed, the speed alone be
ing increased over 30 per cent. We shall
then nave the only cable in the Attain
tic running from Europe to New Found
land, and thence direct 10 New york.
We probably would have laid our cables
by that route IN the beginning If tho
Anglo-American Cable Company had
not had exclusive landing rights i'm New
Foundlaud. Those rights which existed
for fifty years have expired. and we are
now making this change. It means the
purchase and laying Of 100 miles Of
new cable After IT Is finished. we snail.
then have laying unused on the bottom
Of the sea about 900 miles OF c. hle run
ming from the Flemish cap direct 30
Causo, Canada, that being that portion
Of the cable now IN use, and which will
be put out Of commission bv the plan
Our cable ship viii pick up as much
as u can Of this 100 miles OF cable, and
IL will then be Tesheathed, and viii be
available for use elsewhere
For TWO years We have been studying
this question and carefully considering
the change from every point Of view.
II involves a large expenditure Of
money, but we shall eXpend it. The
Commercial Gable Company is tine
premier company in the Atlantic Ocean,
and We propose 10 keep IL so. We
shall spare no expense 10 give the
fastest and best service that sub
marine cables are capable Of. with all
the advantage Of the most direct routes.
Never before In the history Of cables
has nine hundred miles Of q regularly
working cable been picked up from the
bottom Of the sea and the route chang
Cd, simply for the sake Of acceler-
ating the speed and increasing the con-
tinuity and reliability Of the service.
But that is what We propose 10 do,
and / wish 10 remark that / do not be
lieve any government would ever make
any such change at such an enormous
expense simply for the purpose OF Civ
ing the public an improved service.

dress told his ColleEe-mates that he in

didn't intend TO care for unjust crit

Probing Spirit Land.

Spiritualism and its phenomena
have been investigated, notably, by
several men of science Of the hignest
standing in Europe, and "f these at
least four have been convinced that
the claims OF the spiritualistS are, in
the main, true; that is to say. these
four have been convinced that forces
which can manifest intelligence do
really exist in an invisible world, out
of which they can emerge under IA
yorable conditions and hold cOmmun-
ication with living men.
One of them is Professor CrOokeS,
chemist physicist; another is Profess
sor Oliver Lodge, psychologists; the
third, Alfred Russell Wallace, zoolOg-
ist, and co-discoverer OF natural se-
lection with Darwin; and the fourth

"The Devil.

Henry W. Savage, who was the for

from Hungary in 'The Devil", which
has created as great stir in the dra-

did in the realm of music.
He will offer it at Lyceum theatre
Memphis January 7-8-9 with a Spe-
cially selected cast and an equipment
which in every detail duplicates the

gay. witty, sly. caustic, brilliant and

No actor in this country has ever
heen more careful inthe selection of his
support than James X. Hackett, who
will appear at the Lyceum theatre,
Memphis, on January IL and II in
iThe Prisoner of Zenda." One Of the
few actors in this country who is a
college bred man, Mr.. Hackett has
high ideals of his profession, and one
nf these ideals comprises company
of actors that come as near perfection

Chess and Checks.

Chess was originally the game OF
kings, the game of shahs. The word
shah became in old French "eschac,
while the old French "eschecs' was
further corrupted into Chess The
more original form chez has likewise
been preserved, though we little think
of it when we draw cheque, or
when we suffer a check, or when we
speak of the chancellor of the ex-
chequer. The great object of the chess
player is to protect the king, and
when the king is in danger the op-
ponent is obliged to say "check," l. e.,
shah, the king. After this the various
meanings of check, cheque. or ex-
chequer become easily ineligible. Ex-
chequer, or scaccarium, the name OF
the chess board, was afterward used
for the checkered cloth on which ac-
counts were calculated by means OF
counters.
