There seems to be no logical reason why cables cannet be faid across auy | section of the oceans of the world, no | SR I q V { matter how great the depth. Sowe por- | tions of the Atlantic cables are three =iles below the surface, and this is not necessarily the extreme depth, for the cable may and probably does pass | from the top of one submarine bill to another without drooplng materially into the deep valleys between, says Lippincott's Magazine. The greatest known depth of the seg 1s 40,080 feet, | or 7 8-5 miles, found fn the south At lnntic midway betweed the Island of | Tristan da Cunba and the mouth of | the Rlo de la Plata, Soundings bave | been made to the depth of 27,480 feet | in the north Atlantic south of New- | foundland, and about 34,000 feet, or | pearly 6% miles, Is reported south of the Bermudas.

To Illustrate, all of the | | cables between the United States and Europe run up along our coast until they reach tbe neigbborbood of New- | foundland before starting across lo thelr destination in Ireland or France.

The gamest of salt water fish, after the striped bass, is the weakfish, or sca trout. The sport of angling for them is generally enhanced because, feeding as they generally do near the surface, | it 1s possible to fish for them witli' light tackle. The best places fo find them in the vicinity of New Tok are Jo- 'malca bay, the southw 1 Staten Island and the mouth of the Shrewsbury river. While they have been caught weighing upward of twen- | ty pounds, a six or ten pounder Is a good size, and the average will only | run frow one to two and a half. There | is never any doubt when a weakilah | bites.
