This hulk will float a derelict, for years perhaps, and many a vessel that is "never heard from" is sent to the botton by running afoul of just such floating clangers. In January, one year ago, and between the 18th and 27th of the month no less than ten freight steamers with their cargoes left the eastern coast of the United States bound for European ports, and not one of these has ever been beard from. The Atlantic ocean is the highway of and it is said that in crossing from Kew York to Liverpool it is seldom that a ship loses sight of some other ship, so numerous are the vessels that ply between these ports. In spite of this no vestibe of cargo or wreckage has ever been discovered to tell the tale of the disaster that overtook them and they must have sunk to the bottom to add to the debris on the floor of the sea.

This detail was posted outside the trenches toward the enemy to prevent a party sneaking up on the trenches. One man on post was posted about fifty yards in fro it of the rest of the party, that lay down, one man being on the alert to listen to the low call of the sentinel, if he heard anyone coming toward him. Well, about 10:30 o'clock that night two shots rang out in rapid' succession, and all was excitement a moment, as there had been no firing since early in the afternoon and all! but a few were asleep, worn out with the strain of the last eight days. "Eunning up to that part of the firing line whence the shots were heard I saw several men handing down over the top of the embankment the body of a man. The doctor was with me and he asked where the-man was shot.

The lieutenant wh was in command of the outpost said: 'He is not wounded, but he is just the and so it proved. The-doctor made a careful examination, aided the bright starlight, and not a wound was to be found on the but his heart was still in death. "What is the matter? Heart disease. It is shut off like and Sims never knew what killed him. The men of the party say they were all lying down asleep except one man.

He says when the sentinel' fired the shot at a supposed Spaniard approaching all the sleeping party sprang up at once except Sims, who sat up and' then immediately lay back again. The party rushed to the support of the sentinel and on their return found Sims, as they supposed, asleep again, and on shaking him found him not asleep, but dead. The doctor said no-doubt the man had been on such a strain for the last few days that his weak heart simply stopped when he was awakened with such a start, and he fell back a dead man, to await the-sounding of Gabriel's reveille." eeriptions raised the total of $250,000.

The difficulties may be summed up in a-few words: First, the great cost of a complete system of cables; second, the extreme depth of water known to exist in certain parts of the Pacific and feared in others; third, the 1- g-distances between landing points; ana fourth, the lack of intermediate point having an active trade. The estimated cost of the British Pacific cable, for a single strand connecting Vancouver with Australia and New Zealand, is placed at about $7,000,000, including: two repairing ships and a sum oT $175,000 for maintenance of the cabler for six months. The president of oni of the cable companies of estimates the total capital cost of I cable to Japan, and th Philippines via Hawaii, at $12,000,000, and the cost of maintenance, includ.

ing two repair si and of opcra-'n expenses at $300,000 a year. It is not-considered that a single cable will sufficient to insure permanent communication, and any scheme for a Pacini cable must provide eventually for duplicate cables throughout the entirf-. route, so thnt tlye total capital cost ot a thoroughly reliable and efficient Pa-ciflc cable system may be put dowzr at appromimately $20,000,000, whicj would include two repairing ships, a reasonable quantity of spare cable and the equipment of operating eta tions at the various landing pointu.

Given such a line of attack, the Boers, if their forces are inunerically equal to it, have a complete answer. They in the first place have two and sometimes three lines, one back of the other.
