4 By ELMO SCOTT WATSON recent announcement that the I I Western Union Telegraph company | , I had completed laying a new cable I acraea the Atlantic which will have I the dlatinrtlon of being "the worid'a mmmJ fan teat ('able." in the aenae that it ÜBflmHl ran transmit legible algnala at least five time* as rapidly as any heretofore laid, recall* tbe whole romantic history of man's attempt to bridge great distance* and apeed up communication between the dlatant part* of the earth. It recall* particularly tbe name of Cyru* Field, the American paper merchant who, undaunted by several failure*, persisted until surceaa crowned his efforts and made his name Immortal When the new cable was landed in New York last month, it was an event of great importance, hot so accustomed have we become to events of world Importance that there were none of the scene* of wild enthusiasm which swept the country upon Oyru* Field's successful completion of hi* task In those day# they were more given to public celebrations of great events by torchlight processions and appropriate oratory. Up until that time rapid communication had been Impossible When tbe treaty which ended tbe Revolution was signed In 1788. the citizens of the new Republic did not know It until Hfl days later. Conditions were much the same by tbe time of the War of 1812 and. as every achpolboy knows, the battle of New Orleans was fought sfter tbe treaty of peace had been signed. Although faster steamships had speeded up communication between tbe Old world and the New In tbe next four decades, there was still no Instantaneous communication and men had lau|hed at Field as s dreamer and something of a crank when be And proposed to link Kngland and America with an undersea cable over which telegraphic meaaages e«i{iy be aent. But when the Agamemnon and the Niagara completed their |«»ft of laying the flrat cable In August 18!W. and Field'# faith In hi# project was Justified, those who had derided biro were among the flrat to hail him. With the coming of the first transatlantic cable came the prospect of bust near quickening Its pace This prospect was at flrat viewed with considerable Incredulity, but a* the message# of gueen Victoria and President Buchanan flashed over tbe wire* doubts gave way to tumultuous rejoicing The new tine was In actual operation, but It bad come only after a series of disappointment*. It had coat Its projector twelve years of constant toll and had necessitated more than thirty trip* across the Atlantic. But with the first doubts goo* the new cable was welcomed with open arm* The simple an noqncement that It was to be landed produced the greatest excitement everywhere. •In some place* business was suspended and men rushed Into the streets and flocked to the offles* where the news was received. At Andover. Maas.. tbe news was received while the alumni of tbs Thro logical seminary were celebrating their aemicentennial dinner, one thousand persons were present, all of whom rose to their feet and gave vent to their feelings by continued and enthusiastic cheer*. In Boston a hundred guns wer* Bred on the common and the bells of tbe city were rung for an hour In New York the neyrs was at flrat received wtth some misgiving*. A* it was confirmed, how ever, by subsequent dispatches tbe city broke forth into wild rejoicing The arrival of the queen's message was the signal for a fresh outbreak of popular enthusiasm. The city was awakened by the thunder of artillery. A hundred gun* were Bred In the park at daybreak, and the salute was repeated at noon. At thi* hour flags were flying from all the public building* and the hell* of the principal churches began to ring. That night the city was Illuminated. Never had It seen such a brilliant celebration The very sky seemed to be alight with the spectacle. Such was the bias* of light around city hall that the cupola caught line and tbe ball Itself narrowly escaped

From the Atlantic to the Valley of the Mississippi and to the Gulf of Mexico the firing of guns and the ringing of bells were heard In every city. The new cable broke down after two months of operation and the courageous American paper merchant who had been the force behind the enterprise* could raise no more funds in America. Most of the original capital lost in bis first venture had. Indeed, come from England, the majority of the 345 men who had subscribed one thousand pounds each to the enterprise being Englishmen. And with a Civil war impending and soon actually under way Field could look for no further financial aid on this side of the ocean. He went again to England and succeeded, after long negotiations, in obtaining capital with which to build and lay a new cable. The Gutta-Percha company, which had then a practical monopoly of the necessary insulating material, was given the order to build the new cable, which was completed In 1865. The steamship Great Eastern, the largest craft ever built up to thar time—\„y\jv/VVVVvWv',^A^\rAi 0 FALCSNE NEW I F IVCFIFTY LEW TWO WEEK* After How a Cable Message Comes In. larger, in fact, than any ship constructed for another forty year*—which bad proved a commercial failure in spite of her rise, or perhaps because of It. was chartered to lay the new cable. Twelve hundred miles had been paid out when the cable parted, on August 2, and all efforts to recover It proved fruitless. Once more ruin stared Field s project in the face. It seemed v> if fate had decreed that there should never be telegraphic communication between the continents. But at rhis critical Juncture in cable history John Pender, the head of the Gutta-Percha company, came forward with the proposal to risk a quarter of a million pounds of bis own money in the effort to carry out the project Under his leadership the Atlantic Telegraph company was reconstituted as the AngloAmerican Telegraph company with a capital' of 800,000 pounds of which he subscribed for nearly ball The Gutta-Percha company became the Telegraph * oust ruction and Maintenance company. A new cable was made and enough additional to complete the cable of 1885. The Great Eastern was purchased and on July 18. 1886. steamed into Trinity bay, Newfoundland, trailing behind her a continuous line of cable stretching back to the Irish coast. The shore end was landed safety, the Great Eastern steamed eastward again, grappled for the lost end of the 1885 cants, recovered U, spliced on a new section and on September 8 landed this also In Newfoundland. It is Interesting to note that In the new cable which spans the -Atlantic from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, to Penzance, England, history ta repeating Itself, tor In 1912 the Western Union Telegraph company became the operating successor of the Anglo-American Telegraph company, leasing the five cables then owned by the original company, between Groat Britain and tbs United States, and so great is the advance over all previous cable systems which the new cable Inaugurates.

mark the beginning of almost as touch of a new era in International communications, as the laying of the 1866 cable did. Though the deep sea section of the cable ia j only an inch in diameter, an examination of a cross-section of it, as Illustrated above, shows it to be composed of a number of distinct parts consisting of different materials. The Innermost section of this slender line of communication which will link two continents la the copper conductor. It ia a round wire not quite one-fifth of an inch in diameter. This carries the electric current through the cable. Around this wire are Wrapped six flexible cot>per tapes which, in case the cable breaks, carry the current around the gap. The purpose of these copper tapes is to give flexibility to the conductor. An accident to the cable lying on the floor of the Atlantic which might break a solid conductor consisting of a single strand and put the line of communication out of business could hardly break all tha strands of a taped conductor. Wrapped around the 3,800 nautical miles of this copper conductor to span the Atlantic from New York to London will be a continuous strip of permalloy, the new magic metal which will give the cable its capacity of 2,500 letters per minute. Permalloy la an alloy of iron and nickel which under certain conditions has a magnetic permeability many times that of any other known substance. This wrapping prevents the leakage of current common to the older types of cables and will give the new copper strand Us great speed and make it the world’s fastest cable. Next to the permalloy is the insulation consisting of three layers of gutta percha. This ta the only substance yet discovered which combines tbe necessary insulating qualities with elasticity, simplicity of manipulation, and durability. It la obtained from a tree which grows in the Malay peninsula and Malaysia. The process of gathering It consists in tapping tbe gutta tree much as a sugar maple la tapped In North America and collecting the sap which exudes. The moat familiar use of gutta percha is in the man ufactura of the outer shells of golf balls. Over the gutta percha insulation is placed a layer of Jute yarn to act as a cushion for the armor which protects the cable from being broken by any accident which might occur on the bed of the ocean. This armor consists of eighteen galvanised steel wires, each having a diameter of ninehundredths of an inch. Before being applied to the cable each Is wrapped over its entire length with a fabric to prevent Its oxidation under water. Finally, the cable ia wrapped with two earrings of juts yarn saturated in coel tar. wound on spirally, which form the outer covering. This copper strand connecting the Old world with the new will be tbe twentieth transatlantic .able and the ninth to be operated by the Western Union. Afthotigh It would seem that radio development had made deep-sea cables obsolete, tbe fact remains that cable companies continue to spend millions of dollars on new cable costa, for all that they have a full knowledge of radio’s rapacity and the lines of its probable future development. The importance of cables In world relations was demonstrated at tbe close of the World war when an International complication threatened over the island of Yap. Yap ordinarily j would be as unimportant as Its name suggests were it not for the fhet that the question of a cable base was involved. So it is likely that the j future will see the network of cable lines connecting ail parts of the earth increase instead of decrease and whenever a new one, and especially one such as the “world's fastest cable” In which important new developments are concerned, is laid it will be uews and big news

GOOD THINGS WE LIKE We In America are coming to know more about the value of mutton and are learning how to apa litI"—i 1 "—i predate and prepare It ■ In England It is one of a the favorite meats; SeotME g\ land has long known Its Wo\ One of the first essentials to good-flavored mutton is of course wellMLriVflU fed and cared for anlmals, then the next Is careful butchering. The butcher who skins the animal must use care that his hands which have i touched the wool and become oily never touch the jffieat If the cook, when the meat comes from the market to her, will carefully remove all the skin It will take with | It every trace of the often objectionable woolly, flavor. Saddle of Mutton.—Wipe the meat carefully, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a dripping pan; dredge the meat and the bottom of the pan with flour. Bake in a hot oven one and one-fourth hours, basting every fifteen, minutes. When carving, cut thin slices parallel with the back bone, then slip the knife under and and separate the slices from the ribs. Serve with : Currant Mint Sauce. —Separate into small pieces two-thirds of a glass of currant jelly, but do not beat it. Add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of ; finely chopped mint leaves and the ! shavings from the rind of one-fourth J of ah orange. Russian Salad. —Arrange a bed of lettuce In a salad bowl. Peel four tomatoes of medium size, cut fine and mix with sardines chopped and skinned. Place on lettuce and sene with French mayonnaise dressing. Almond Bread.—Make a sponge at night with one quart each of water and gluten flour, add a yeast cake dissolved in a little water and let Vise oVer night. In the morning add two teaspoonfuls of salt, one cupful of blanched almonds, finely chopped and enough gluten flour to mold. Knead well, mold Into loaves and bake when light This nu.kes two loaves. Giuteh flour may be used most acceptably by those who are not obliged to use It in j their diet. Practical Good Things. We are coming to the season when a hot drink after a cool ride will be welcome.

Strain hot into glasses and add two marshmallows to each glass, cut into quarters, j If the grape juice is rich a cupful of j water may be added. This is a nice drink for skaters as it can be taken in thermos bottles and kept * piping | hot. In spite of the derision which the good old bread pudding has to en- j dure. It is still a favorite in many homes. Bread Pudding.—Take one and o»e- j half cupfuls of milk, one-balf cupful j of sugar, two slices of bread buttered, and one egg. Beat the egg and add the sugar; when well mixed add the milk slowly, beating all the time. Place the buttered bread In a baking dish, pour over the milk and egg; the , bread will rise to the top of the pud- ; ding dish, making a crust. Allow it to stand one hour, tlien bake In a hot oven long enough to set the custard. Serve with cream and sugar or a hard sauce. Ice Box Rolls.—Take a cake of dry j yeast, cover with a cupful of luke- ! warm water and soak until well softened. then add four tablespoonfuls of 1 flour and mix well. Let stand over j night in a warm place. In the morning add another cupful of water, a cupful of sugar and a cupful of short ening—lard is best as It keeps sweet [ better than other shortening. Mix with enough flour to knead; do nut add as much floor as for bread, hot [ enough to haudle well. Now place in ] j a howl and set at once Into the Ice 1 box. The next morning take out a j j part of the dough and mold Into rolls or buns, as many as are needed Set j j to rise in the room temperature and by | night they will be ready to bake for the evening meal. If wanted at noon set near the heat to force the rising.

To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Montieello, ni„ a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants andVhildren had j to be kept “stirred np” and half sick j by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the canse of nearly al! children’s ; little ills, he constantly advised ' mothers to give only a harmless laxa- | tive which Vould help to estahjish natural bowe!
