SECTION FIRST CABLE PRIzED
 YLONDONER

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.--A cross section cut and mounted with sil- yer of the first Atlantic cables laid back in the 50s and eos of the last century Is now in Los Angeles It Is in possession of John Mckenzie, brother of George Mackenzie, to whom the valuable relic wa given by Sir John Fender, British magnate, who was instrumental in laying them and who laid the cross section made. When the cables were first laid Cyrus w. Field and Peter Cooper were the moving spirits on the American side of the water, while Sir John Fender. who already had attained prominence as an expert on submarine cables, was the presiding genius on the British end.
 The laying of these first cables was attended by much tribulation, two of them breaking before they were finished and another giving out entirely in transmitting power short ly after being put into commission.
 The cables were all made in Eng land, and Sir John Fender had three sets of cross sections made of each of the first three, together with the grappling cable used to fish for the third when lost in the ocean depths. He kept them some time, and one is still in the possession of Sir James Fender, his eldest son, who today has charge of all British undersea cables. Another was given to a bus mess associate and the third pre- sented to George Mackenzie, a jour nalist and close friend of Sir John
 George Mackenzie, who has lived in Los Angeles for the last four months, is now on his way back to London, his home.
 In connection with the relic. some interesting facts of its laying are recalled.
 One of the stretches of the cable, laid by the American frigate Niagara and the British ship-ofwar Agamem- non, broke when 300 miles off the Irish coast owing to sudden dip of the sea bottom.
 In 1865 the largest cable of the trio was loaded on the historic ship Great Eastern, 8 ship that proved a failure as an ocean-going carrier but a success for cable laying. This cable was 2,300 miles long and weighed about 4,O00 tons. When about 1000 miles from the Irish coast this cable also broke The following year the Great Eastern laid another cable.
 But these early cables are now all dead" the life of submarine cable being but about forty years and most of them but twenty-five years.
 These early cables could transmit but seven words minute, while modern cables carry from eighty to ninety words minute, with mess ages passing in both directions.

Get the Habit of Planning.


From now until vacation is one of tlp
busiest times of the school year. The pro
gram is filled with activities. First comes
mid-years, which mean much hard study,
ehen come the basketball games, Dial
work. the school play, the Outing club,
and numerous other activities. Every stu
dent probably will be engaged in one or
more of these activities-he should, at any
rate The value of these activities is I'M
questionable, yet while engaged in them we
must not forget what our real business
ut school is Our studies and our physi-
cal well-being must not be neglected
Here is where the Importance of regu-
lar habits enters At first it may seem
impossible for the student TO give time
to all three of these: Studies, activities,
and recreation. Yet if the student plans
his day in an orderly fashion, all of these
things will find their place. Each one
depends on the other; one cannot study or
participate in activities well unless he is
physically fit. and one cannot participate
in activities unless he studies well. Get
the habit, Plan your work plan your
play! Then you will find time for every
thing.
