Until ten years ago. or so, cable
were used only in cities and large
towns, and even there their use resulted
in electrical difficulties which greatly
lessened the advantages Of enclosing
the wires in cables. With the best
known apparatus and highest engineer
ing skill it was possible to transmit
conversations successfully through not
more than twenty miles Of cable.
However, about ten years ago there
was invented process by which it was
made possible to use telephone cables
over long distances.
Prior to this year. 1910, this method
was never used on submarine cable.
Such cables. for telephone work, could
be used only for short distances and
then at great detriment to the service.
Attempts have been made abroad to use
this method of improving telephone
cables--a small cable of this sort has
just been laid across the English Chan
mel. The cables abroad, however. are
little more than experiments.
The first submarine cable, using this
method of operation, that has ever been
installed in this country, and the first
practical one in the world. has been in.
stalled across Chesapeake Bay to serve
Bell Telephone subscribers in Delaware
and on the Eastern Shores Of Maryland
and Virginia in their service with Balti-
more City and Maryland. The result is
that. across Chesapeake Bay, there is
now the best submarine cable in the
world-a cable which makes telephone
conversation from Baltimore to Cape
Charles or other peninsular points equiv
alent to conversation over land line
fifty miles shorter than by way of the
former route. The difficulty Of laying
this cable was excessive. At several
points, special apparatus, weighing l.
400 pounds. was fastened to the cable.
These appliances, being very delicate,
had to be lowered with great care. The
difficulty of handling apparatus weighing
/, 400 pounds and dropping it to the
bottom of the bay without injuring it.
with a thunderstorm looming up in the
distance-as it happened in this case
need not be described in order to be ap-
preciated by the readers Of this paper.
With this cable. telephone facilities
to Baltimore and Maryland will be dis
tinctly improved for all patrons. result
ing in easier and more satisfactory con-
versations between Baltimore and vicini-
ty and the Eastern Shore.
1t is interesting to add here that not
only has this cable been laid. but ad-
ditional wires have been run to the ter
minals Of this cable from points in the
southern part of the Eastern Shore
peninsula and from Baltimore and An
napolis to the other end.

ACT To DRAIN
SWAMP LANDS
Senator Smith Secures Amend
ment For A Maryland
Survey.

Senator John Walter Smith last week
took the initial step toward the recla-
nation of the swamp lands of Maryland
when he was successful in amending
the Appalachian Forest bill, which the
Senate had before it.
Senator Smiths amendment provides
for an investigation by the Government
Of the feasibility Of draining the swamp
lands of his State. 1t was in the shape
of an amendment offered to the bill by
Senator Stone, Of Missouri. appropria-
ting $3.50, 900 for similar purpose for
Missouri, Florida, North Carolina, Ar
kansas and Louisiana. AS originally
offered Senator Stones amendment car
ried an appropriation of Sl50,000 for
Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. At
ter consultation with Senator Smith,
Mr.. Stone thought it best to increase
the appropriation TO $3.50. 900 and agreed
to include Maryland. The Stone Amend
ment had already been adopted. so the
Maryland amendment was offered sepa-
rately by Senator Smith and went
through in the middle of the filibuster
on the bill being conducted by Senators
Burton and Bailey.
The amendment provides that the
$3.50, 900 shall be spent under the direc-
tion of the Agricultural Department in
the six States that surveys shall be
made. engineers employed and COM
plete investigation made Of the plan.
The amendment provides for a report
on the subject at the next session of
Congress. with recommendation as to
the wisdom of the Federal Government
lending its aid in the drainage of these
swamp lands. -
Senator Smith was not prepared to
pronounce upon the feasibility of drain
ing the Maryland swamp lands. but said
he believed it is well worth while to in
vestigate the subject and find out
whether it will pay to enter upon this
work. what amount of money will be
required and what results can be reach
ed after the draining has been accom-
plished. The large area of marshes and
swamp lands in Maryland. he said, GER
tainly entitled it to be considered in any
such proposition as this, and his amend
ment was offered with the view of CIV
ing the State the benefit Of the survey.

Bio Fourth In Salisbury.

The Wicomico Fair Association. OF
Salisbury, has made arrangements for
a big celebration on Monday next, the
4th of July. A full program has been
made out, starting in the morning at
about 10 o'clock with an automobile pa
rade. in which it is expected that at
least fifty automobiles will take part.
In the afternoon, the program will
start at about O'Clock, and will consist
of three races for purses, and one race
known as 1.-THE Farmers Race" These
races have alreaoy excited great deal
of interest, and it has been reported
that the entries will be filled in all, and
some of the best horses on the Shore
will participate. The Fair Grounds, To-
Gated near Salisbury,i is alive and bustling
with horses in training new arrivals
coming in every day. There are now
more than thirty horses on the grounds.
In addition to the races, the Associ-
alton has arranged for two balloon as
tensions. one in the afternoon and one
in the evening. The afternoon ascension,
| two aeronauts will go up, and each will
make triple parachute descensions from
the balloon while up in mid air. One
feature of the afternoon ascension will
be the throwing out of envelopes con-
tanning close to 81, 900 in cash and cash
values, from the balloon while in the
air. Among these envelopes will be a
number Of orders on the Treasurer Of
the Association, calling for the payment
in cash to the bearer, on presentation:
In addition to these orders for actual
cash, a number of the merchants have
sent out orders, each having the value
of $l.00 on all purchases OF $1,000 or
over.
A band has been engaged for the oc-
casion. and an acrobatic vaudeville fea-
ture will help to keep the crowd amused
during the heat of the races.
During the evening an unusually at
tractive display of fireworks has been
arranged for, and should prove one Of
the most attractive features of the day.
A balloon ascension will also take place
| in the evening, ablaze with lights nd
| fireworks, and a parachute descs ion
will be made, the lighted parachute
throwing out variousk kinds Of aeronautic
displays.
Altogether the program promises to
be very attractive and interesting one,
and thousands of people are expected in
| Salisbury on the 4th to participate in
the pleasures of the day. Special ar
rangements have been made for train
service, hotel accommodations, refresh
ments and other things which go towards
the comforts of the spectators on the
grounds.
