The Transatlantic Gable
Situation and Connection

The transatlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two of which are British
companies owning FIVE of the eight
cables.
Iwo only of the British owned
cables terminate in the United States
and all Of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection rcifh any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre of
business, and are no.U Oorked excfu-
siusiy, 20. far as business is concerned,
with the Western Union.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, l. e. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 75% of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to &C
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common to both
countries; but to continue to confine
the cables to this class of service, as
at present, will utilize only about 259e
of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

of the business, if best results are to

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Cable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western

Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and economic
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of netO
forms of service to the advantage of
the public.

Those who have not tried II have no
idea what great convenience is a
magnet in the workbasket Fasten
it to the side of the basket by means
of tape or ribbon sewed about It,
and use it to pick up scissors, or scat
tered needles or pins. This device
Is n blessing to the nervous invalid
who yet is strong enough to sew or
embroider; and. oh what a time and
temper saver 1t Is to the seamstress
whose basket--as baskets will--falls
on the floor. If she can pick out all
the steel articles first of all, the rest
Is simply a matter Of untangling
thread. etc.
Another workbasket convenience is
the folding yardstick. II you cannot
get a ready-made one. have your boy
saw a slender yard stick into six six
inch lengths, and fasten them by
means of brass clamps which will per-
NIT the stick TO move freely in any
horizontal direction.
Then there Is shoemaker's wax; do
YOU know that thread and silk for
tailored work should always be waxed
to give them greater firmness? And
If, when you are embroidering over
paper a design stamped on the fab
rlc, you will wax the paper instead
Of using the tissue variety. there will
be less danger Of the papers tearing
and causing the embroidered lines to
waver.
Finally, do not forget the electric
flashlight. The spool OF thread that
has rolled under the sewing machine,
the roll Of goods in the dark closet,
the number OF needles or cotton in
a darkening room--all these ii will

danger of fire. II has another use,
