TAYLOR CAMERON BLOCK THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL 17, 1897 SUBMARINE CABLES. The Difticulties Encountered In Sending Messages at a Profitable Speed, While submarine cables ‘can now be made of any lengtn:and atcomparatively small cost, great difficulties are still en- countered in sending messages at a commercially profitable speed,: and these difficulties increase with the length of the line. In long cables there ‘is a trou- blesome retardation of ‘the electric cur- rent, due to the fact that the insulating cover of the copper strands becomes _it- self electrified, and this surasce charge delays messages by preventing the cur- rent at the beginning of any signal from rising rapidly to tits maximum and again trom rapidly dying.out. consequence of this is that while ‘from 400 to 600 words a minute can ‘be-sert over a land line, the maximum speed on an Atlantic cable issomewhere about 32 words a minute. Before the ‘‘siphon recorder’? and Lord Kelvin’s ‘‘curb sender’? were invented, the maximum speed was eight or ten words per min- ute. Curiously enough, the amore perfect the cable’s insulation may ‘be the greater is this retardation, and slight leaks in this covering often increase for the time the line’s working capacity. The corrosive action of the salt water is ac- tive at such points, however, .and will soon cause a break in the cable. Professor Silvanus P. Thompson of the Royal society of England has in- vented a system of cable construction by which he expects not only to increase the capacity of the present lines, but to make practicable the covering af the 8,600 miles which separate Hawaii from North America. His plan is to make a cable with two separate condnctors in- closed in the same armor, so as to form a complete circuit, and every 100 ar 150 miles he will introduce stretches of cable with three such conductors, the third being a wire of high resistance, the purpose of which is to act as a sort of artificial and protected leak. One end of this third wire will be connected with the positive conductor and the other with the negative one. By this device the static charge on one wire will nen- tralize that on the other, and all retarda- tion will be avoided. The expectation is to multiply four or five times the number of words now sent over Atlantie cables, to increase to 70 or 80 the 12 words per minute that could be sent over a single core cable to Hawaii, and raise from 15 to 75 the words sent from London to Cape Town.—New York Times. NO BLOOD SPILLED. But the Duel Was Fought, and Everybody Was Satisfied. Every one who knows anything about Major Winton knows that he is without a spark of physical cowardice. That is the reason that he incurred no risk in telling the story that follows: ‘‘Right after the war I went to Texas and formed a business partnership with a rough but brave and big hearted native. We leased and stocked an extensive cat- tle ranch, hired our cowboys and estab- lished a little community of our own. My partner superintended affairs at the ranch while I did the dealing, the pur- chase of supplies included. This tock me to the nearest market, and, as it was too soon for the prejudices between the two great sections of the country to be entirely allayed, Il was very carefui to talk nothing but business. ‘*But one day in the hotel an ex-colo- nel who had taken on extra steam at the bar so persistently attacked my political principles and so clearly aimed his gen- eralities at me that I retorted angrily. This was what he wanted. He handed me his card, and within half an hour two of his friends waited on me, pursu- ant to the code duello. To gain time I referred them to my partner and hurried back to the ranch. He was delighted at the prespect. It would be a great piece of advertising to bowl the colonel over, and at the same time it would insure me against like trouble in the future. But by principle and training I was ir- revocably committed against the duel. “It was difficult for me to make my partner comprehend any such moral bias, especially as we had fought off cattle thieves together, and he knew that I had nerve and was a dead shot. He himself, when aroused, was recognized as one of the most dangerous men in the southwest. His ultimatum was that we must meet, but with it was a positive assurance that no one should be hurt. The affair came off, and after three ex- changes honor was satisfied without a drop of blood. My partner had simpiy told the colonel’s seconds that they must load with blank cartridges or settle with him. They hastened to choose the blank alternative, and in time the colonel and I became fast friends. He confidentially admitted to me afterward that he reck- oned he’d lost his shooting eye and must keep out of trouble.’’—Detroit Free TR . ~--~-- Mack-Ache, Face-Ache, Sciatic Pains, Neuratgice Pains, Pain in the Side, ctec.

BEER & GOFF Why Patmore Wrote In Rhyming Eights. The enrliest installment of ‘‘The Angel In the House’’ was published late in 1854 by a firm of publishers long since extinct, Messrs. John W. Parker & Son. It was anonymous, and the reason, dr. Garnett tells me, why Patmore did not put his paime on the title page was that his father’s book of reminiscences, ‘‘My Friends and Acquaintance,’’ had just received so bad a reception from the critics that the son thought his name would prejudice his cause. The authorship, however, was a poor secret, for a numbcr of fragments, including the beautiful picce beginning, “Lo, when the Lord made north and south,’’ had appeared in 1852 under the author’s name inthe volume called ‘‘Tam- erton Church Tower.’’ But the name cer- tainly was a disadvantage, for Peter Pat- more, who bad been Colburn’s reader, and who had now fled the country to escape his creditors, was perhaps the best hated man of letters then flourishing in Europe. As every one knows, ‘‘The Angel In the House" is written ina uniform measure of alternate rhyming eights, the com- monest meter for humble hymns and bal- lads that has ever been invented. Pat- more was often attacked by the critics for using this humdrum, jigging measure, and I once ventured to ask him why he had chosen it. He replied that he did sc of set purpose, partly because at that par ticular time the poets were diverging int. the most quaint and extravagant forms, and he wished to call the public back to simplicity, but partly because it was a swift and jocund measure, full of laughter and gayety, suitable not to pathetic themes, but to a song of chaste love and fortunate marriage.—Edmund Gosse in North American Review. Why the Doctor Couldn't Go In. A lady had been ill and under medical treatment for along time. As she grew no better all tke while, she became dis- trustful of her physician’s skill and did not wish to see him, and yet was not bold enough to tell him so. She communicated her state of mind to her maid. “T’ave ‘im to me, mum, l’ave ’im to me!’’ said the gir). By and by the doctor came to the door, and Bridget opened it about an inch. “Sorry, sir,’’ said she, ‘‘but ye can’t come in the day, docthor.’’ “‘Can’t come in? How’s that?’’ ‘“‘The mistress do be too ill fdr to see ye the day, sir.’’—London Tit-Bits. ~ — ae e one e oe ; e ee0 @ © Fvelief POR etlnhg e eTroubles ' Fol AUIS En CONSUMPTION and all LUNG @ DISEASES, SPITTING OF BLOOD, © COUGH, LOSS OF APPETITE, @ DEBILITY, the benefits of this & article are most manifest. e Ry the aid of The “D. & 1."
