SIGNAL CORPS MAY LAY NEW
 OCEAN CABLE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15-De- velopment of new industry in the United States, replete with adventure and roMcace, sIopendS upon definite en couragement from the government, it was declared by Colonel Seaone, ex- pert of the Army Signal Corps.
 The industry is the manufacture and laying of oceanic submarine cables. Colonel Seaone stated that a dozen private manufacturers would turn their plants to the making of submar- inc cables if the government gave any indication of making its own purchas- es from American factories. At pre- sent majority of the worlds oceanic cable business is given to British fac tories.
 England has "strapgle hold' on the cable industry, according to Col onel Seaone, although an American was the first to receive the idea of lay ing a telegraph wire across the bot tom of the Atlantic Ocean. The Origin ator, while an American in birth and engineering experience, went to Eng land for financial aid when Americans turned down his plan, and the English swept into control of the cable indus try as result.
 Colonel Seaone declared that the Signal Corps had one of the finest cable ships in the world. This vessel, he added will be used in laying the 10000 miles of new cable to be insert ed in the Alaska Washington cable, as provided in the Army Appropriation bill The cable, however, will be pur- chased in England, unless the govern ment decides to recognize the waiting American producers.

Testina chlld,s Musical Ability.

Musical ability in a child can be well judged by testing five faculties: 1: The sense of pitch, which Is the abn- ity to discriminate between higher and lower tones; the sense of time or rhythm; the sense of consonance, which is the ability to tell what Is more pleasing and what is less pleas ing; the sense of intensity; and mu- sical memory, or the ability to remem- Der a number of tones from hearing them once. Those qualifications are probably in large measure inherited, for very young children sometimes have them.-Youth's Companion.
