CABLES “CATCH WHALES.
Ind Sixty not Long Killid by- the Walt;-
ern Brazilian Lino.
Submarine cables are usually im‘
bedded in the slimy bottom of the
mean, but at certain points they hang
ike wire bridges over deep submarine
valleys, so that whales and other large
mhabitants of the deep may become
dangerous to the cable. Once in
twhile it is the cable that becomes dan-
gerous to the whales, as recently shown
in .an accident to the Western Brazil—
ian line. -
There was some difficulty with
and after many tu-
1ile efforts the seat of the trou-
ole was discovered seventy-six
miles north of Santa Catharina.
The cable _Ship' Viking was sent to re-
pair the damage, and began to take up
the wire: ~ .
After the cable proper had been grap-l
pied and.was.wound1to-the surface on
the large drums provided for the pur-
pose, it was found that it floated very
much easier and was more buoyant
than was usually the case.
The reason was discovered when in
a loop of the cable the carcass of a
whale Of more than sixty feet in length
came into view. It appears that the
whale had become caught under the
cable, and, not being able to “lift‘it
nor go forward or back, it became Sufi
focated. By its last spasms or at;
tempts to free itself, the whale had
damaged the cable so that the insula-
tion was rubbed off and the wire be-
:ame useless.
COST OF A DOOR HANDLE.
It May Be High When One iomsthetlo
and Wan to Something Unique.
The aesthetic person who desires a.
unique door handle for his favorite
room must pay for the privilege. For-
ty, fifty, even seventy-live dollars may
be the cost. of the first door handle made
after a. new pattern. The metal is
worth perhaps only a few cents, but
the labor comes high. First the archi‘
tect draws the design and submits it
to the manufacturer that is to finish
the handle. He turns it over to his mod—
eler, who makes an exact pattern of
the handle and lock in clay or plaster.
Every line that is flat in the design
is raised in this pattern, and the more
elaborate and intricate the decoration
the more difficult the work. The pat-
tern is then given to the man who
makes the mould, or oftener several'
moulds joined together, known as
gates. gThese are usually of plaster
of paris, and the molten metal is pour-
ed into them w“hout in any way affect-
ing the plaster.
When the metal is cool the handle
is taken out, a. thing of beauty and ex-
pense, for the architect, the pattern
maker, the mould maker, and the man
who poursin the metal must all be
paid for their work. The first door
handle only is thus costly. When the
mould is once made the price of a
door handle decreases according to the
number made. so that the five hun-
dredth door handle costs scarcely more
than the metal put into it. «New York
