DIARY "a FATHER Zine


One would imagine that on the dis
covery of wireless telegraphy the At
lantic cable would have become OBJ
solete, but, despite the genius of Mar
conf, the Atlantic Gable Company is
as prosperous as ever. 1t was about
the year 1850 when men began to
dream of long cables laid upon the
bottom of the sea. In 1849, several
short cables were laid and worked
successfully, but these were child's
play compared with the spanning of
the Atlantic, nearly 1000 miles
across and in some places 80 miles
deep. However, in 1856 the task Of
laying cable from Ireland to New
foundland was undertaken.
AS the cable weighed one ton per
mile and took up enormous space it
was made in two parts and shipped
on two naval vessels, the Agamem-
mon lent by the British government
and the Niagara by the United
States government. 1t happened
that after the ships had met in Val
encia Bay and the Agamemnon had
laid $50 miles the cable broke and
there was nothing for it but to re-
turn to England. In the following
year three more attempts were

WHEN GOLF GETS A FELLOW
BY Berton Braley.
Golf seems a very simple game,
An old mans hobby, slow and tame.
You can't see how much fun is found
Just knocking little balls around.
And then you try it, with sheer,
And miss the pesky little sphere,
And wildly swipe the ambient air,
And try again, and miss, and swear,
And get excited, stubborn, sore,
And try, and miss, and try some more
And thus, unconscious of its lure,
You find the game has got you, sure.
Then all your leisure you devote
To getting Colonel Bogie's goat,
And all talk Of hazards, greens and
tees,
And many other things like these
All symptoms of the golf disease,
Thus, when the eighteen holes are
done,
You come in, ruddy from the sun,
And have your drink, if you are dry,
And sit upon the porch and lie
Lie to your comrades and their
About your puts, your mighty drives,
Of making No. 8 in four
But most you lie about your score.
They know you lie, you know they
know,
But no one cares to tell you so,
And now, at last, you'd rend and

made, but each time the same acct
dent happened.
On the fourth occasion both sue
ceeded in bringing their ends safely
to land, but after about three weeks
working, all signals ceased. In 1865
the Great Eastern started out with
another complete cable and after re-
peated mishaps she returned with
the news that, the cable had broken
and the ends Had dropped in over
1000 fathoms. In 1866 she went
out again with brand new cable on
board and safely landed the other
end on the shores of Newfoundland.

NEW YORK, oct. Z. The final act
in the baseball drama of 1913 opened
at the Polo grounds today, when the
New York Giants and Philadelphia
Athletics met in the first game of the
worlds series. AS a climax to the
seasons play the struggle for cham
picnship honors has surpassed all
previous records for interest and en-
thusiasm. Given the whole-hearted
support of the weather man. the
series promises to establish new fig

Charles Johnson, Of the Willow
Greek Gold Mining company, and
George letter left this morning for
Willow Greek, where Mr. Johnson

Charles Osterlund comes to Ely, Mr..
Osterlund will probably bring in
some more OF the high-grade ore
which they are getting from the
place where they are cutting a sta
lion to sink a winze on the shoot
But the high-grade shoot found
some time ago is not all on which
the hopes Of the stockholders of the
company are based, as an ore shoot
75 feet long was opened in the tun.

grade was discovered This shoot is
from 2la to 9la feet wide and from
one place where it is six feet wide a
sample taken clear across the vein
showed a value of $133 a ton when

sion arose among some of the stock
holders and men at the mine as to

to the assayer The test showed il
