CABLE LAYING IN WAR TIME

British Naval Authorities.
LIGHTER CABLES LAID AT LESS COST

Not Needed.
An Invention lias lately been submitted to
the British naval nuthorltin which. l ( ac
cepted , will undoubtedly prove on Im
portant factor In future naval warfare. The
designers arc Lieutenant Crutchley of the
lloynl navy reserve and Mr. Bnell , a promi
nent engineer , who have devinecl an Improved
method of laying nunmarlne cables , ut a
much Increased-rate of sperd. Dy means of
this Invention a war ship or transatlantic
liner can be used to lay .1 calilo of rpeclal
design at ft rate of twenty or more knots
per hour. As will bo Been , It require1 ! very
little alteration to udapt these vessels to the
purpose und the slow-going tspuclnl tints
at present In use will bu superseded.

One can easily nn'.l/a bow Important It
might be to a maritime nation , especially
ono with vast colonial po clon3 , or n-hlch
relics for protection on a powerful licet , to
bo able to lay a comparatively short cable ,
of from 500 to l.OCO miles , In a very short
upiico nf time and withal BO secretly and un
ostentatiously that the enemy would never
between points TOO tnlle * distant within a
space of thirty hourt , and the cable once
laid would be permanent. a cables go. The
secrecy of the stratagem also would cnsuro
Its success , for , aa before said , a cruiser or
other fast Tcssel can be quickly fitted
for the work at very short notice. Nothing
unusual is risible to a passing ship , save
perhaps what would look like a taut rope
trailing astern , and even that could be
concealed without difficulty. And , to crown
all , the work can be as well done at night
as In the daytime , requiring , as It docs ,
little or no supervision. SCALLAN ,

Tempted to I.niiKh Only When
Some One IH Hurt.
The laugh , which Is now so closely asso
ciated with good humor and kindly feeling ,
originally Implied nothing of the sort. It
expressed almost the reverse ; It was the
crow of triumph over a fallen foe.
Such Is Its nature still among savage and
barbarous peoples , says the Boston Test ,
and Its unexpected manifestations arc occa
sionally very startling. Dancing on the
body of a prostrated enemy is to them
hilarious business ; the writhing of a victim
under toture Is the funniest thing Imagi
nable ; a new device for torment Is n clever
jest ; the Inflicting of a ghastly wound as
some poor wretch runs the gauntlet makes
them yell with glee. The things that shocker
or horrify or disgust the civilized man are
about the only things worth laughing at
from a savage's point of view.
With the exception , therefore , of rough
practical Jokes , which may possibly wrinkle
his stolid features with a momentary grin ,
the barbarian has no appreciation of civil
ized humor ; ho can't sec where the fun
say themselves , to which If you get down
there Is no further progress to be made.
You must crush It to powder' retreat , "anil
nine times out of ten retreat Is found to b
the easier course. The American character
rests , In fact , on a granite substratum ,
which has been the origin of their success ,
and will give them the mastery of the
western hemisphere. It Is not merely the
English doggcdness , though It doubtless had
Its root In It ; It Is a quality which enables
Its possessor to go on whatever happens , to
charge , as It were , Instead of merely standIng -
Ing to receive an assault. It Is , In fact , If
we are to be minute , doggedness made fiery
by an Infusion of hope , of a scngulnencss
which you would never expect from an
American's face that , owing to some cli
matic peculiarity , Is usually careworn , espe
cially In the east but which colors his very
blood.
Wo never met an American In our lives
who did not believe that he should "worry
through" any trouble on hand , and reach at
lost the point desired , however distant It
might seem to be. Like the Anglo-Irish
man , also , the American has a quick senue
of 4hc Jncongruous ; he perceives the comi
cality of , things and persons , and ho has a
habit of pointing that out with a reserved
shrewdness which has always the effect
of , and sometimes really Is , mordant humor.
Like the Anglo-Irish , too , the American has
a strong sense of personal dignity ; he can
not bear to be belittled , and Is , If nny-

Biispcct , until too late , that such communi
cation had been established. Of course , ono
of the very first results of a declaration of
war nowadays would be an attempt on both
sides to destroy or Interrupt any means of
communication , more particularly tele
graphic communication , that might prove
useful to the enemy. This has been wit
nessed on several recent occasions ; It Is , for
Instance , a well known fact that when war
seemed Imminent between England and
Russia secret preparations were hastily
made on the Russian side to destroy the
then existing cables. England would natu
rally bo most severely crippled by such a
course ; perhaps to no nation Is cable serv
ice so important , for It relies so much on Its
fleet that some means of sending messages
rapidly and surely between outlying squad
rons and stations and the seat ot govern
ment Is of vital necessity. Many experi
ments have been made with a view to tel
egraphy without wires , but so far unsuc
cessfully at any but the shortest distances
and England's only present comfort has
been that It Is In possession of nearly all
the special cable laying and repairing ves
sels. Now Messrs. Sncll and Crutchley step
In to the rescue with a magnificent scheme ,
which would seem to lay at rest the vexed
Question of the transmission of orders , even
If the enemy has succeeded In cutting exist
ing cables ,
Msrhter Cnblc * of Lc * Cant.
The differences between the present and
too new system of laying submarine cables
ire many and varied. To start with the
lew cable Is much lighter and less expensive
fran the ponderous affair used for spanning
.he Atlantic. Three hundred knots weigh
nly ISO tons , while the price averages
mly $300 per knot. Celled on a large drum
iese 300 knots , ready for use , can bo stowed
iway In a tank or hold about the slzo of
I largo double boiler , so that a good-sized
ihlp , such as a cruiser or a liner , could
lastly find room for two such drums , one
In the aft and the other In the fore hold.
Here would bo 700 miles of cable , weighing
lut SCO tons , stowed away ready for Immedl-
ite use. Another plan Is to carry the cable
in small drums holding but forty knots
lach and joined together ; these drums pos-
less the merit ot being light and portable
ind also easily put away.
The paying out of the cable Is accom
plished very limply and Ingeniously , en-
tlncs ot 150-horso power being utilized to
evolve the largo carrying drum and giving
I delivery speed ot over twenty knots per
lour. Now It Is necessary , In laying a
uiblo , that a certain amount of slack should
> e available , so that the cable can accom-
nodato Itself to the frequent Inequalities
if the-tocoan bed and not become tightly
itretched from one prominence to another ,
.bus throwing an excessive strain on the
laying out * machinery. Accordingly , for a
cngth of 300 knots , a bight or slack of
! ,000 feet Is allowed and Is carried on a
ialr of drums which are stationed midway
letween the stern and the main drum. The
lablo passes from these bobbins to a re-
rolvlng pulley at the ship's stern , which
Jterally ejects the wlro at a speed which
tan , It necessary , be made greater than the
rate of delivery at the tank. A controlling
tpparatus Is attached to the slack-carrying
Iruras to prevent the using up of the bight
xx > suddenly , until the strain becomes sufQ-
slent to overcome this resistance. Before
die 2,000 feet have been absorbed in this
way It Is evident that the ship's speed can
bo diminished a little , so that the excess
ate of delivery will soon again accumulate
lufflclcnt slack.

The results attained by this system In
ictual work are said to be marvelous ; ol
.course there Is nothing out ot the way Ir
the entire design , but usually these wonder
fully simple Ideas , though brilliant In the-
.pry , seem to collapse when put to a thor
ough test In practice. The Sncll-Crutchle )
Invention , however , does not appear to be
long to this class and the Inventors have
demonstrated satisfactorily that a ship abt <
to make twenty knots can easily pay oui
twenty-one knots of cable , the extra kno
being compensation for the uneven floor 01
Neptune' * home.
A simple calculation shows that coraiaunl
cation can be established by these meant
comes In If nobody Is hurt. This was curi
ously Illustrated not long ago , when a con
siderable number of Chinamen went to a
New York theater to see a burlesque per
formance. When the American part of the
audience laughed the delegation from China
town Bat with faces absolutely blank , but
the moment any hint of brutality , tragedy
or tears appeared on the stage their heavy
features lighted and were wreathed In
smiles. It was a strange thing to witness ,
but It was all In perfect keeping with tbo
cruel Instincts of their race.
Even the knowlege that ho Is himself to
bo the next victim docs not spoil the fun
of a cruel spectacle for a barbarian thor
oughbred. 'Here Is an instance :
A number of Siamese , who had been en
gaged In a bloody revolt , were captured red-
handed and sentenced to military execution.
A platoon , of j3Qldle.rs WAS drawn up with
loaded muskets before whom the doomed
men wore led out In. squads of five or six
to be s lujtt , Xfh.Jlej , those who werq watting
their turn stood by under guard , looking on.
When the first -volley was fired the victims ,
torn by the storm ot bullets , leaped Into
the air with violent contortions and fell
dead. And this-to the poor wretches who
were about to go through the same experi
ence , seemed so fine a show and so ex
cruciatingly funny that they were fairly
convulsed with laughter !
Such Is the humor of savages , and such ,
doubtless , were the beginnings of mirth
he world over. Strange as it may seem ,
there are many hints of this barbarous
origin In the fun of the mosc-htgbly civilized.
We no longer laugh at really tragic
*
occurrences , it Istrue , for other and more
lumano emotions are too strongly excited.
Jut It we chance to sec a ridiculous mis-
*
lap which does not qutto rise to the dignity
ot tragedy on accident by which someone
ono Is greatly Inconvenienced and annoyed
without being seriously 'injured the rem
nant of the savage breaks loose In us and
we laugh till the tears come. Why clso
arc we amused when wo ECO a well dressed
man thrown sprawling in the mud or
deluged with dirty water from an upper
window or driven up a tree by a cross dog
or an ugly bull ? Instances might be
multiplied without limit.
It Is noticeable that children often laugh
at things which do not amuse adults , but
on the contrary , shock and pain them.
That Is because the child's finer sensibilities
are as yet Imperfectly developed ; he Is still
near the savage stage. There Is a very
prevalent sentiment to the contrary , but
this Is the fact.
In proportion as men become truly
civilized , however , their sense of humor be
comes refined , and they revolt at any sug
gestion ot brutality. Yet It Is worthy of re
mark that the gentlest among 'us are
frequently amused at a picture or a story
representing things the actual occurrence
of which would shock us greatly. Even
hero our fun shows a faint reminiscence ol
Its cruel origin.
All of which goes to-show that nothing
betrays the latent savage in us like a
laugh.
A LOOK AT OURSELVES.
How We Appear to the Kyen of
rmnilnrnt IlrltUh Critic.
The London Spectator thus views and re
views American character and characteris
tics :
No character Is quite so Interesting tc
thoughtful Englishmen as that of the Ameri
cans ; It Is so like our own , yet so unlike , sc
complex and yet BO simple , so Intelligible
and yet so full ot unexpected turns. The )
are as difficult to depict as Englishmen
seem to foreigners , and If wo try to do il
It Is with a full consciousness that alter out
best efforts many facets of the stone will
still remain undescrlbed. Dut for twc
peculiarities which are universal and deer
enough profoundly to modify character , we
should say that the Americans , as a nation ,
moro closely resembled the English lr
Ireland than any other people in the world
The Jong ; Contest with enemies , wltt
nature , with circumstances ) baa bred it
them the Inner hardness and Incapacity ol
yielding to opposition which that pecullai
costo derives from Its long habit of keeptnt
down superior number * and exacting fron.
them tribute. There 1 * dourness somewhere
'
la ever/ American , a "hard pan , " aa the ]
thing , oversensitive on the score of his
Individual claims to respect. His pride Is
not the glacial pride of the Englishman , wheat
at heart holds the man who offended him ic
bo a boor for doing It , and would as soon
quarrel with a cabman as with htm , butyls
a glowing pride , quick , perhaps overqulck ,
to resent Insult and to imagine wrong. Add
to these traits an almost Infinite depth ol
Inner kindliness so long as there Is nc
provocation and no resistance from Inferior :
and you have the Anglo-Irish character on
Its strong sides , and that Is also the Ameri
can , about as efficient a character as the
world presents to our "view.
He can fight or ho can bargain , ho car
build or ho can diplomatize ; and , when doIng -
Ing any of these things , be generally con
trives to como out at top , with perhaps
just a glance around to see that the hlgt
place out of which he emerges with un
moved countenance has been noticed by the
world around. We should add , for it IE
characteristic , though perhaps It is of little
Importance , that the manner of a well-bred
American is usually , and , allowing for In
dividual Idiosyncrasies , almost exactly that
of a well-bred Anglo-Irishman courteous
and kindly , with a touch ot Intended grace ,
and with a certain patience as of one ac
customed to other men's folly which Is no )
English at all. The Englishman's "patience
offends that is the testimony , , ot all man
kind , to the Englishman's great perplexity-
hut the American's patience and that of the
Anglo-Irishman leave a sensation not al
ways fully justified , of friendliness. There
are a hundred Lord Dufferlns in America.
The American has , however , aa wo said ,
two peculiarities which differentiate hire
from all mankind. We should not call him a
happy man exactly , but he Is an tncurabl )
cheerful one. The weight of the dozet
atmospheres which press down the Englishman -
man Is off the American's spirit. He does
not expect to find anywhere persons superior
to himself ; he thinks be can make , Inateai
of obeying , etiquettes ; ho sees no reason
unless , Indeed , he is a candidate for hlE
municipality or for congress , for professing
to be anything but what he Is. He-Is quite
contented as to hla past , and quite satis
fled that the future will go his way. Hi
lives mainly In the present , but as the pasl
was good and the future will be better , the
present will do very well for the time being
If no one has affronted him he has nc
quarrel with any one , but Is disposed tc
look on all men with an appreciative smile
as being all equally creatures of Allah , pool
creatures some of them , no doubt , but still
creatures. He takes life as It comes , It
fact , with little concern whether anybodj
takes It differently , and with a complete ad
mission , not only from the lips but fron
the heart , that It takes a good many eorts
of men to make up n world. The convlctlor
ot equality with all men has taken the
social fidget out of him , and given him at
Inner sense of cose and tranquillity.
It follows that he Is always ready to tr >
anything , and that the English Idea ot liv
ing In a groove seems to htm confined and
small , a waste of the faculties that Got
has given. And It follows , also , that no-
Ing inwardly content with himself , and
having a whole continent to work in , he if
seldom so thorough as the Englishman , Is
satisfied with knowing many things lest
completely than the Englishman knows one
and has for intellectual temptation , alwayi
provided that the task before him Is nol
machine making , a certain shallowness. Thi
kind ot man who Is least like an Amerl
can Is the kind ot man about the Brltlsl
museum , who knows upon some one sub
ject nearly all there Is to know , and cat
tell you almost to a foot where all tba
remains to be known will ultimately bi
found. Wo doubt if tbo American Is fullei
ot resource than the Englishman , who gen
erally has his plan at last ; but he Is mucl
quicker In bringing his wits to bear , am
much less disposed to let any habitude o
mind stand for , a moment In hla way. It
fact , though the American , like every othei
of the sons ot Eve , la clothed in habits , hi
wears them with singular lightness , and 1
his sense ot propriety would permit , woulc
on the smallest provocation cast them al
away. There are only two exceptions ti
that with an American , his religion am
the constitution of the United , States. Thosi
two are not habits at all In the Carlyleai
sense , but outer and Inner skins.
There remain * the strongest and itrang
eat peculiarity of nil , " , wfclch already differ
entiates the American ( completely from the
Englishman , and a hundred year * hence will
make ot him an entirely separate being.
The American Is * iinrvous man In the
sense In which doctor * who study consti
tution use that word. He Is not neurotic ,
no man less so , and : ! la probably as brave
as any man alive , but his nerve * respond
more quickly to hlaf brain than those of
any other human btlfig , lie feels strongly
and ho feels everything. Wo are Inclined
to suspect that th condition of so many
Americans resemble * Ihe condition ot over
trained men or hones * , and that activity
of brain continued generations Is In
jurious In a dry climate to bodily health.
Be the cause what It may , the American
s liable to be excited , and his excitement ,
which sometimes shows Itself In bursts of
tremendous energy , sometimes In fits of
gaycty and sometimes In almost Incurable
nclancholla , constantly wears him out. It
s the greatest distinction between him and
: he more stolid Englishman , or rather be
tween him and the oldest of English colon
ists , the Anglo-Irishman ,
BOMB SEA TKUM9.
of Some of the Fnmlllnr
Word * Uned on Shlttuoard.
In the early days of English naval organi
zation , relates the Detroit Flee Press , ves
sels of war had double crews , a military one
tor fighting purposes and another ot marines
Tor navigating duties. In consequence , a
largo number of English sea terms have a
military origin.
At that time the rank of r.dmlral was un
known , and the chief officer of the squadron
was called a constable or justice. The term
admiral as now used Is derived from the
Arabic "amir" or "emir , " n commander ( as
In "amlral-bahr , " commander of tbo sea ) .
The corly English form was "amlral" and Is
still preserved as such by the French.
The tttlo captain Is not n naval but a
military one. Originally the real captain of
the ship was a "master. " A military ofllcer
was placed on board , though ho knew noth
ing of nautical matters. Gradually his Im
portance Increased , while that of the master
diminished proportionately , till at the pres
ent day the master's ofuco Is becoming ob
solete. Commodore comes from the Spanish
"comcndador. "
The title of lieutenant Is borrowed directly
from the French , and Is meant as a place
holder , or ono who took the place of the
captain wnen absent. In former days thcro
were no cadets , \olunteers , but with the
gradual advance of politeness the term
cadet was appropriated from the French.
"Boatswain" Is de-rived from the Saxon
"sweln , " a servant. The term quartermaster ,
as used In both tbc army and navy , appears
to be confusing and anomalous. In the army
it Is the title of a commissioned ofllcer who
performs Important and responsible duties.
In the navy ho Is simply a warrant ofllcef ,
directing subordinate duties. In old ships
and In olden times his position was a more
Important one , so much so that ho was con-

The terms larboard nnd starboard como
from the Italian "qucsta borda" and "qu-
ella borda , " which by rapid delivery became
starboard and larboard , but owing to the
strong slmlluarlty ot sound they were
changed Into starboard and port ( Latin

The peculiarity of so many portions of a
ship's rigging bearing names derived from
the trappings of a horeo can only be ac
counted for from the fact that the early
war ships were manned by soldiers as well
as sailors , the natural consequences being
that they , the soldiers , adapted some of
tholr terms to meet their fancy. Among the
various ropes , &c. , will be found bridles ,
whips , bits , stirrups und the like.

This Is a day when the delusions to which
one hns held for years are gradually being
swept away by these "who know. " Ono
such delusion In which we all once believed ,
says Harper's Datar , was that to read while
In n recumbent position was Injurious to
the eyes. Oculists now tell us that If the
light be good and the typo of the printed
page clear wo may safely Indulge In the
luxury ot lying down nnd reading at the
same time. Dut while our oculist tells us
this , ho also warns us that we may not
use our eyes before breakfast , as the strain
on the optic nerve will seriously affect the
Bltht. Bo she who would read before she
rises In the morning must have her cup
ot coffee and a roll or slice of toast brought
to her bedside.
Unless ono has unusually strong eyes one
must not read when one Is extremely weary.
Exhaustion and fatigue affect all the nerves
of the body , and the optic nerve Is so sensi
tive that It should receive particular con
sideration. Nor should ono ever be guilty
of the carelessness ot reading or writing
facing a window. This , too , Is a cruel strain
on the sight.
Washing the eyes morning and night In
wnter s hot M If can bo borne la a wonder
ful tonic for these useful servants which
arc so easily Injured. When we consider
how wo neglect their welfare br using them
by fading daylight and Insufficient artificial
light , by forcing them to do work whoa
they arc weary , and by denying them Iho
rest for which they long , wo have cause to
wonder not that they sometimes bccomo

but that they nro ever faithful In our "orv-
