1 one who has gone through n college or

I sense in which the word education is
more properly used, n man may be
very learned and at the suine time a

not necessarily a well educated man be

CAUGHT BY A CABLE.
The Strange Accident that Befell a
Whale in the Ocean's Depths,
Submarine cables are usually Imbed
ded in the slimy bottom of the ocean
but at certain isdnts they hung like
wire bridge over deep submarine val
leys, no that whales and other large in
habitants of the deep may beoome dan
generous to the cable. Once In a while It
Is the cable that becomes dangerous to
the whalea, as recently shown In an ac
cldeutto the western Brazilian line.
There was some difficulty with the
wire, aud after many futile efforts the
scat of the trouble was dlncovered 70
miles north of Santa Catharlna. The
cable ship Viking was sent to repair the
damage, and U-gan to take up the wire,
After the cable proper had lsen grap
pled and whs wound to the surface on
the large drums provided for the fir
pose, it was found that It floated very
much easier and was more buoyant
than la usually the case.
The reMon was discovered when In
a loop of the cable tbe carcaas of a
whale of more than sixty feet In length
came Into view. It appears Hint the
whale had become cs tight under the
cable, and, not being able to lift It nor
to go forward nor lack, It became suffo
rated. By Ita last spasms or attempts
to free Itself the whale had damaged
the cable so that the Insulation was
rublied off and the wire became useless.
