chard under the aforesaid associa-

Piles were all right; in fact, they are
beauties, and represent several of
the best varieties. Yesterday Mr..
Lichty received his regular weekly

The fact of ten-million- dollar

to make up the shortage by raising

CABLES UNDER THE SEA.
They Vary In Weight and Type and
Use Very Little Current.

Each submarine telegraph com
pany has in service fleet of cable
ships, the units of which are sta
toned at different ports for quick
access to the different sections of
the cable.
Let us take, for example, the ca
bic stretching from San Francisco
to Manila, distance of 1O,O1O
miles. This cable is divided into
four sections = San Francisco to
Honolulu, Honolulu to Midway is
land, Midway island to Guam and
Guam to Manila. The cable lies on
the bed Of the Pacific, which in
places runs from three to five miles
IN depth, the latter depth being
found off the island Of Guam. Suf-
flcient slack must be paid out in
laying a submarine cable to allow
every part to rest on the bottom of
the ocean, however irregular the
bottom may be.
caDle varies III thickness and
type, according to its position and
the nature Of the ocean bottom in
the locality where it is laid. The
shore end" of a cable, meaning
section laid close to land, is always
thicker than section out at sea
ordinarily the diameter of a shore
section runs about two and a quar-
.er inches, while a section laid in
ieep water runs about seyen-eighths
If an inch in diameter.
About seven strands of copper
comprising a single conductor, form |
he core of the cable. Over this
ore are laid coatings of gutta per
ma a layer Of Jute or oakum and an
nyelope Of composition rubber.

ADVISE MODESTLY

1t is quite probable that there are
are more tender feelings hurt daily
by the pIoffer of unsolicited advice
than by deliberate or careless I'M
kindness, more warm likings for
people suddenly chilled by that os-
tensibly friendly act than by any
gross betrayal. And it is not only
the representative person who re-
sents unsolicited advice. That free
gift is annoying to everyone. If you
will consider the men whose profess
sion it is to give advice, the lawyers
and doctors, you will observe that
those who are most successful and
trusted are shy about advising any,
one on any subject unconnected with
their profession. Their tolerance
of habits of thought and methods of
doing things that are not their habits
and methods is astonishing. They
have perhaps learned by experience
that nothing else shakes confidence
in anyone so much as the free be-
stowal of advice and criticism, and
that nothing is more productive of
lnpopularity.

Over this strands OF strengthening
wires are wound on, and tarry rope
and tape are wound about the whole.
The average cost of a cable com
plete is about 81 900 a mile.
A surprisingly small amount of
current is required for operating
submarine cable. One of the hard
est worked of the Atlantic cables
requires only fifty volts pressure at
the sending end, and all that comes
out at the receiving end is twenty
millionths of an ampere. Signals are
transmitted simply by alternately
charging and discharging the cable,
which works much like Leydcn
jar. One of the fastest of subma-
rlne cables transmits about eighty
words minute. - Cleveland Plain

CANT 1T THE TRUTH p

The twenty four-carload shipmen
of hogs recently made from this prai
RE section to the St. Paul marke
"knocked the persimmons or, moi
only brought the top price on that
market, but established the important
fact that the live stock industry here
is not dependent solely on the coast
market.
E. S Sweet, the we'll known Cam
as Prairie stock man, who took the
hogs east, wired Seth Jones, another
widely known stock raiser who was
instrumental in this shipment, that
the hogs had been sold in St. Paul
for 81 IS per hundred. The tele-
gram stated the market was off when
the shipment arrived, but the prairie
hogs commanded a top price and the
shrinkage on the hogs had been
very light. The price received will
leave the owners handsome profit
above the prices offered on the prai-
RE at the time the shipment was
made.
"The result of this transaction
demonstrates that prairie farmers and
stock men are independent of coast
packing houses" said Mr.. Jones on
last Tuesday. "The week we de-
cided to make the shipment east,
buyers for coast houses were making
their brags on the prairie that they
would force the price of hogs below
FIVE cents before another week. The
farmers and the stock men must be
allowed to realize a fair profit if the
livestock industry is to prosper in
the central Idaho country. We be-
lieved that the coast packers must
be made to realize that the success
of their operations depends upon the
success of the industry in the locality
where the hogs, cattle and sheep are
raised and decided upon the test 1
shipments to the eastern markets." S

That there is now talk, with noise

by any means improbable that a

DR.. C. P. Steinmelz, the noted in
ventor and electrical expert, gave the
"back to the farm" movement new
life Tuesday when he declared in a
speech before an electrical club in
Chicago that the general replacing
of steam by electricity would scatter
instead of centralize our population.
His theory is-and it certainly
sounds logical-when steam power
was depended on, those desiring its
use had to 60 to it, or had to group
about the points where it was most
easily produced. Whereas, the
electric current can be easily trans
mitted from a central plant to any
point the user may desire.
