Field was interested in the inspir- ling project that Gisborne unfolded Outside Listeners, The number of people who heard the speech in the stadium by the aid of wireless has been estimated at anything from six to tem millions. About three-quarters of a million people in this country hold licenses for receiving sets, and besides all the listeners-in private houses, large audiences gathered in public places where "loud speakers" had been provided. The speeches were heard, for instance, by 20,000 peo- ple at Edinburgh and by 2,000 peo- ple at Inverness, 600 miles from Wembley. In London, thousands and hundreds of thousands of people collected round the loud speakers in parks and open spaces, and every little shop possessing a wireless out- fit invited passers-by to share the treat. In one of the big stores each department had its apparatus, and buying and selling ceased as cus- tomers and shop assistants listened to the king's voice, heard 'as clearly as though he stood a few feet away. The preliminary music and singing, the orders to the guard, the trumpets and the cheers were faithfully repro- duced. Every word uttered by the king and prince was so distinct that in newspaper offices all over the country a full shorthand note was taken down by wireless. or 31 Lawrence Gu first a special collect, then the Lord's prayer.

Just eighty seconds MAP OF THE FIRST SUBMARINE CABLE Also the first cable of any length that preceded the idea of the Atlantic Cable, which was originated and 'engineered in Canada. before him, but being a shrewd busi- ness man he imposed certain condi- tions that must' be met before he would lend his active support. Amongst these conditions it 'was stipulated that a longer cable than the one then operating to Prince Ed- ward Island must be successfully laid and operated. In the few months that followed Gisborne had received some support from the joint governments of Nova, Scotia and Newfoundland, and had secured concessions on this side of the At- lantic-for his ambitious scheme. The success of the eighty-six-mile cable in 1856 definitely . decided Cyrus Field to join the enterprise. He secured the concessions from Gisborne, created the New York, Newfoundland and London Tele- graph Company and made Frederick Gisborne its chief engineer. Thus did Canada contribute again to the progress of the world and the ad- vance of commerce and science. Frederick Gisborne lived until 1892. At that date the slender tele- graphic lak thet he had started across the Atlantic in 1856 had in- creased and multiplied to 110,000 miles of submarine cable. At the present time the submarine cables exceed a length of three hundred thousand miles. length, was laid across the North- umberland Strait, between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land in the year 1850. It was a complete success. About the same {time a submarine cable was suc- cessfully laid across the Straits of Dover connecting England and France. This second cable was not completed until the year 1851, and Canada won the race for cable-lay- ing honors by a narrow margin of months, The next honor for Canada in the matter of submarine telegraphy was the sucdessful construction of the first lengthy cable. This ran from Cape Breton Island, across the ocean floor for a distance of eighty- six miles and connected with the land lines across the south of New- foundiand as far east as St. John's. This cable was completed ifn 1856. Dr. Martel's Female Pills Corns Stop Aching, Quickly Dissolve Away The misery of a sore corn comes to an end quickly when you apply Put- nam's Corn Extractor.

He secured a posi tion with the Montreal Telegraph Company and very quickly made a name for himself by the improve- ments following the adoption of numerous inventions that he had worked out.
