Laying Submarine Cables.

England makes most Of the subma-
rine telegraph cables nowadays, but
some are manufactured in Germany.
Cables are made in two-mile lengths,
and as each such section is completed,
its electrical resistance Is tested by a
special machine, and carefully noted.
When cable is made it is put on
board the cable ship which Is to sub
merge 1t. There are now over forty
such steamers employed, not wholly
for laying cables, of course, but for re.
pairing them when injury occurs. By
determining the resistance of the eff
fective portion of a damaged cable, it
Is possible to put repairing steamer
within q mile or SO of where the
break occurs, and repairs are some
times very speedily made, though on
other occasions, because of bad wealth
er or other causes, weeks are often oc-
cupied in this work. An Atlantic Ca
bic is usually laid in little over week.
The last Atlantic cable was laid from
Penzance, Cornwall, England, to Bay
Roberts, Newfoundland, in 13 days, by
the Colonia, the biggest cable-laying
ship in the world.-American Review

ART GERMAN PRISON LUXURY
Captured Soldiers Allowed to Sketch,
Says Embassy Report-Canadians
In Modern Barracks.

London.-The official press bureau
issues report of the visits of Doctor
Ohnesborg and H. Rivington Pyne Of
the American embassy at Berlin to
the German prison camps for officers
at Heidelberg, Villingen and Igolstadt
and to the camps for other prisoners
at Stuttgart, Ulm, Nuremberg and
Wuerzburg.
The report states that Lieut.. Ernest
McLurg and the Second Canadians at
Heidelberg are confined to modern
barracks not previously occupied by
Germans. The rooms are large and
the food good. The German comman-
dant at Villingen has inaugurated
daily excursions of the imprisoned Of
f1cers. Bodies of fifteen or twenty at
a time walk through the surrounding
country in charge of a noncommis-
stoned officer and three or four
guards. Those who are able to do
sketching or painting are permitted
to go alone or in smaller groups with
a single guard.
The report emphasizes the fact that
the men are all badly in need of uni
forms.

In the name Of the congregation with

Hamilton had received and acknowl,

was, and brought forth the bicycle
and presented it to the minister, the
dominie's jaw fell and he was utterly
1abbergasted.
"Well, Mr.. Hamilton!" he exclaimed
at last. "You certainly do have way
of putting people in hole!"
After that there were no more sur

Antietam-Neuve chapeIIe.

Gettysburg was the greatest battle
of the war. Antietam was the blood
iest," says Fox tn his ''Regimental
Losses in the Civil War;" At Antietam
the Union losses we're: Killed, 2,108;
wounded, 9,459; missing, 1853; total,
12,410. The casualties reported by
Gen. Sir John French at Neuve
Chapelle we're: Killed, 2,527; wounded,
1888; missing, 1,751; total, 1881. A
comparison Of these casualties will
show that Neuve Chapelle, in the pro-
portion of killed to wounded, was a
bloodier battle than Antietam, and 1t
will probably prove to be the fact
that on the German side the casualties
were much heavier than on the Brit
ish. Sir John French says that "the
enemy left several thousand dead on
the field, and we have positive infor-
nation that upward of $4,000 wounded
were removed by trains"

MIGHT BE "sPoTLEss TOWN,
WlIIemstad, Port of Dutch Island Of
Curacao, One Of the Worlds Most
Delightful Spots.

W1llemstad, the port of the Dutch is
land Of Curacao, is a quaint little
town, and with it's rows of brightly
colored tiled houses of Dutch construc-
ton reminds one very forcibly Of the
pictures of "Spotless Town" The
Dutch government maintains gar.
rison OF home troops there and the
island is under the management Of
a governor sent from Holland.
The natives speak hardly a word OF
Dutch, but employ patois composed
OF nearly all languages, with Spanish
predominating. This patois is called
"papiamento."
The harbor of Willemstad is very
beautiful, with depth Of water sufi.
cient to accommodate the largest
ships. Steamers enter the harbor
through a picturesque pontoon bridge
constructed by an American consul
who was stationed there for some
years.
The water in the harbor is clear
bottle green color and the masts of
a vessel that was sunk at the dock
years ago can be plainly seen. A
quaint tramway line with almost toy
car. drawn by one mule serves as a
carrier for the population.
From Curacao the American steam
ers with transshipped cargoes run

Change Produced by War.

To an unprecedented extent, the
purchasing power of the British Isles
has passed into the hands of women
because of the war. Wives of men
who have enlisted are receiving all
or great part, Of their husbands
pay, as well as the allowances made
in many cases by their employers
The latter amounts to about one-hal1
of their regular pay. With these
funds the women are better supplied
with money, to spend in such manner
as they see fit, than they ever have
been before. One result, landlords
say, is that they are receiving their
rents more regularly. Another result
no doubt, is that the money is being
spent in different way than it was
when the men chiefly or wholly di
rected it's expenditure.
