SOMETHING ABOUT THE NET-WORK OF WIRES AROUND THE WORLD.

How the Work First Got a Start In China

—-Getting a Line Across Australia—De-

scription of the Work of Construction— Some of the Lines Now Operating.

It is commerce and competition which h, asa rule, lines. They have been laid to meet the demands of business, and for the most part a business already assured. Not that there are no examples admirable daring which, foreseeing a chance, makes its venture. preferring to ereate a demand rather than to follow one. A remarkable case of just such a venture was the laying of the first cable along the Chinese shore in 1871.

Kussia had finished the land line across Siberia—the line which, it will be remem- bered, was intended to be part of the route so long projected into the United States by Bering Scraits. But the Americen end of the project had failed, and she found she had an interminable stretch of line across her barren steppes and now had nothing to attach the end to. In fault of anything better to do with the straggling terminus, it was carried to Vladivostock.

The Northern Telegraph Company of Denmark saw the possibility of utilizing this end for a European eommunication with China and Japan. Not that China and Japan had expressed any desire for such aunion, The wily Danes took care not to ask permission, but slipped the land end of their cables into shore in in- offensive drain pipes, and quietly made their connections until they had a cable running from Hong Kong to Amoy, Gotz- laff, Woosung, Nagasaki (Japan) and con- necting with the land line at Vladivo stock.

When the Chinese wakened up to the pre- sence of the cable it was too late to object

| They simply professed themselves utterly skeptical of its usefulness and refused to

have anything to do with it. However, they soon had a practical demonstration of its capabilities. An Oriental, more bold than his compatriots, resolved to act on the price of rice; telegraphed down to Shanghai from Pekin, and to buy up a quantity. He did so, and made a big sum. Soon after a lottery drawing came off in Pekin, in which many residents of Shang hai were interested. The lucky numbers were telegraphed down, but the majority of the holders felt it unorthodox to trust to the impious Western contrivance which disdained (ime and space, two things which the Imperial Dragon himself had always respected, and they iet their skepticism go so far that they sold their tickets for a song to more progressive gamblers. ‘The next week when the recognized post ar- rived the report of the telegraph was con- firmed. The new contrivance could not have had a more impressive advertise- ment.

The success of the Danish company in laying its cable along the coast induced it to attempt to run wiresinland. It madea successful beginning, but was stopped oddly enough. There are no burial grounds in China, each family making a sepulchie for its dead upon its own premises. Dead ancestors are so reverenced that a shadow upon the grave is looked upon as an insult which must not be passed by. Now, when the Danes began to put up poles for their wires the shadows were sure, at some time of the day, to fall on the grave of some Celestial ancestor. There were constant disputes between workmen and natives, and the enterprise was seriously inter- rupted for a time. However, the conveni- ence of the telegraph became at last so evident to the Chinese that the Govern- ment decided to go on with the work; and since, even the shadows on the ancestors’ tombs have not prevented the men from setting up poles.

It was the year before the Eastern Ix- tension carried its cable to Hong Kong tht it conclnded to go on to Australia, on con- dition thatone or all of the colonies com- bined would lay a land line across the con- tinent to meet it. The offer was accepted by the South Australian Government. This colony then numbered 170,000 inhabit- ants; it was in debt heavily for railroad and telegraph lines in the settled parts of its territory, but it bravely set aside the money for the new underte aking.

The work was begun early in 1870. The history of telegraph does not include an- other so dramatic chapter. All but 200 or 300 miles of the 2,000 from Adelaide on the South to Port Darwin, the cable terminns, on the north, was through a land of either the worst reputation or utterly unknown, save from the reports of the one explorer who, after infinite risk and hardship, had traversed it-nearly 10 years before.

The expedition was to be baffled by noth- ing, however. It carted every inch of its wire, most of its poles, all of its supplies, across a country often waterless and so hot that a thermometer burst and pork melted in the brine. The men saw their cattle die of hunger and thirst. They were forced literally to crawl through miles upon miles of scrub of the most exasper- ating character. The natives harassed them constantly, stealing their supplies, rigging up their insulators as spear heads, to use when the native boomerangs were not up to the occasion, and threatening their finished work. The northern por- tion of the work was once abandoned, so hopeless did it seem. Again terrific floods drove the expedition entirely from the field. In spite of the loss and discourage ment, the line was finished in ee years and a half, and after October 21, 1872, the London papers were scaetiitine ‘daily des- patches from Australia. On November 15, 1872, a grand banquet was held in Lon- don, celebrating the completion of the work, and at it was read a telegram of thanks in response to one of congratulation which had been sent to Adelaide just twe hours before.

“M. Casimir-Terrier.”

President Casimir-Perier has a strongly developed jaw, a look of determination and something of the aggressive appear- ance of a bull-dog. A clever caricaturist tock advantage of the resemblance in ap- pearance and name to portray him as ‘M. Casimir-Terrier,’ and the caricature has “caught on.” Far from lowering him in the eyes of the public esteem, however, it has greatly increased his prestige as the uncompromising watchdog of the Repub- lic.

LONGEVITY IS ON THE INCREASE.

, Men Attain to Greater Age Than Former-

ly, Especially in Ameriea. The number of deceased persons who had

| attained an exceptional old age was prob-

Lower St. Lawrence |

ably greater in the year 1898 than in any recent period. During the last three or four months of the year the genera! public became familiar, through a perusal of the daily papers, with the remarkable obitu- aries of those who had departed having lived toa great old age. A month or so since we read of a life that had reached the extraordinary limit of 125 years. We have since read of the death of a woman at Ifartford, Coun., who was old enough to give warning of the approach of the British fleet in 1812, and so saved the New Elgland coast from threatened devastation. And still later we have been apprised of the death at Terre Haute, Ind., of a man 104 years old who attended the funeral of Washington, cast his first vote for Madi- son, and was a soldier in the war of 1812. From other data it is apparent that great longevity has been on the increase for many years, particularly in America, But it may be remarked that the constitutions that carried these persons up to the cen- tennial mark or beyond were formed very many years before people began living at the present rate, and that the best part of most of these old lives was passed before the modern suicidal rush of the society and business worlds.

To have a good chance for longevity it is almost unnecessary to say that an origin- ally good constitution is of the first im- portance, though to this primary excel lence carefulness in the art of living must be added. The secret of long life is one of which nature alone holds posession, A remarkable fact is that intellectual activ-

} ity and success have been no barriers to long life. Even deep philosophical studies have proved a help rather than a hind rance to men « literary pursuits. V« tal who at birt} Ww i l ‘ -
