The first task which the new ship of the Telegraph Construction and Mainten ance Company has been set is to dupli- cate the cable on the long section be tween Vancouver and Fanning Island in the Pacific, a distance of some 3,500 nautical miles. When that is completed. the Pacific Cable Board will have about 16,700 nautical miles of cable, in that part of the globe ander its control, and out of that total the Telegraph Construc tion and Maintenance Company will-have been responsible for the manufacture and laying of over 13,000 nautical miles. In view of the great depths of the ocean to be encountered-in some parts it is over four miles deep-the cable has to be specially reinforced with steel wires, and an idea of the strain which has to be borne may be judged from the fact that in the deepest parts of the ocean the cable is not touching bottom until the paying-out ship is twenty-five miles ahend.
The Earl of Selborne, chairman of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, who was accompanied by the Countess of Selborne, welcomed the guests on board the Dominia, and later presided at luncheon...

"The taxpayers" of this country have quite sufficient burden upon them with out contributing to maintain a mistress, which is what they have been doing for the last five years in your case," observed Mr. Justice Avory at Reading Assizes, when a respectably. dressed man with a long string of. Christian names pleaded guilty tol bigamy, and was convicted by the jury of obtaining by false pretences sums of £4 Ga. and £4 108. from the Ministry of Pensions. The appearance in the dock of accused. John Lorenzo Marquess AC, Raymond Umbandeni Thorburn, salesman, excited general sympathy owing to the shakiness of his condition, due to shell shock. Mr. H. Maddocks, proceeding on the false pretences char- ses, explained that the money was ob tained from the Government on prison- er's representation that his wife was, living with him and being maintained by him. As a matter of fact, Thornbura had deserted his wife, whom he married at Windsor in November, 1915, five weeks after the ceremony and in April, 1817, he went through a form of marriage with Mits Gwendolize Ellison at Abingdon, and had lived with her ever since: There was one child as the result of the bigamy. Prisoner served during the war in the Royal Field Artillery, and suffered from shell shock, which developed into neuras- thenia. He was granted a pension of 287 a year, and in 1921 he applied for a special allowance in respect of his wife, and was granted. £80 a year extra. In the form of application Thorburn-de- wife was living with him.
