II 1t is true that the defense of the
Dardanelles has been intrusted to Ad-

ploying one of its best-known naval
officers in this capacity, says the Lon

tank is spliced in in its place. Then
the cable is paid out as the ship re-
turns to the buoy marking the location
of the other end. With this recovered,
the ship has both the San Francisco
and Honolulu ends of the cable on
board. Tests are made to ascertain
that no other faults have developed
and that both sections are in good
condition. A message reading Com
munication restored-now making final
splice" is sent to both of the stations.
Following this message two hours are
allowed before the stations attempt to
communicate with each other. This Is
very busy two hours on board the
cable ship The ends of the cable are
secured over the sheaves at the bow
and are connected by splice from 81
to 40 feet long. With the splice com.
pleted two ropes, one at each side or
the bow, are attached to the cable and
1t is lowered overheard and Stacked
out slowly until 1t reaches the surface
of the water A block of wood is placed
on the deck under each of the ropes.
At a given signal the ropes are cut at
the same time with axes, the ends OF
the ropes fly overheard and the cable
sinks to the bottom of the ocean. AS
the cable disappears from view, the
engines are run full speed ahead and
cable ship returns to port.

YOUNG MAN HAS OLD JOB

One of the youngest officials OF
the Wilson administration is at the
head of the oldest scientific depart
ment of the government. and his ap-
pointment was not the result OF luck,
accident or political influence, but the
recognition of remarkable qualifica-
lions which fitted him for the posi-
ton.
II was on the fifteenth of April,
the day following his thirty-ninth
birthday, that DIR. e. Lester Jones be-
came superintendent of the coast and
geodetic survey, the service which,
according to Secretary Redfield. deals
first with humanity and second with
commerce.
Perhaps no one in the survey. no
matter how long he has been in the
service, has spent more of his life
in the open than has Doctor Jones.
Indeed, 1t would. seem, that by en-
vironment, training, education and
temperament, he had been qualifying
for the superintendency of the coast

and capable of registering pull up to
Is tons. The ship then steams ahead
at a speed of one or two knots an hour
in a kind Of taking maneuver at
right angles to the line OF the cable.
While the ship Is engaged in graphing
a member of the crew, ordinarily the
fourth officer, sits on the grapnel rope
near the bow and can usually tell by
the strain when the cable has been
hooked. The instant the cable is
hooked the ship is stopped and the
grapnel rope is slowly wound in by
the hauling machinery Sometimes the
cable will stand the heavy strain of
being lifted until 1t reaches the sur
face, only to snap and sink to the bot
tom again before it can be secured.
When this happens the ship steams to
a new location and starts graphing
anew.
When the cable is brought safely to
the surface, 1t is first secured on either
side of the grapnel by what is known
as chain stopper" this work being
done by man lowered over the bow
in boatswain's chair. The cable Is
then cut, each end Is connected to the
instrument in the testing room, and
the stations at San Francisco and Hon.
olulu are each called up. 1t is more
than likely, of course, that the ship
will not be able to speak to one of the
stations, as the fault will probably lie
at some point between the ship and
the station. In case 1t Is necessary for
the ship to steam one way or the other
to find the fault, as 1t usually is, it is
necessary to leave one end of the cable
behind and to secure it so that 1t can
be raised again without graphing. One
of the big seventeen buoys shown in
the illustration is made ready, flag is
put on 1t, and 1t Is lifted overheard by
a derrick. One end of the cable Is at
tached to the buoy by long mooring
chain and rope, and is allowed to sink
to the bottom, the buoy itself being
held in place by mushroom anchor.
At night time the buoy carries light.
The ship now starts picking up the
cable toward the fault. This is slow
process, requiring careful navigation,
as the ship must be kept going slowly
ahead at such speed as to relieve the
strain on the picking-up gear. The
cable comes on board at the rate OF
one or two miles an hour and is coiled
by the men into one Of the large round
tanks that take the place of the hold
in an ordinary ship. The cable is
guided from the bow to the tank by a
series Of sheaves placed at intervals
on the deck While this operation is
going on, the electricians continue test
ing and the cable may have to be cut
several times before the actual fault is
on board With the fault found, the
defective portion of the cable is cut
out, and a good piece from the ships

KENT TELLS A NOME STORY

the north country. One of them deals

gion, when gold was plentiful and
everything else was decidedly scarce.
One of the residents, the story runs,
wandered into a rough, ready-made
saloon and beheld four bewhiskered.
rough-looking individuals.
They were deeply detected. They
sat far back in their chairs, hands in
pockets. Occasionally one Of them
sighed or swore. In front Of them
were stacks of chips representing
several thousand dollars in gold.
What's the matter?' asked the
visitor.
This here poker game is busted

Busted up?" repeated the visitor.
