Henry, incorporating the New York State Medical association. PAGE TWO--EDITORIALS. Telegraph and Cable Lines. A writer in Ainslee's Magazine has collected many interesting facts about the telegraph and cable lines in the world, in the course of which he notes the extent to which rates for messages have been reduced. When the first Atlantic cable was laid, the price of a 20 word message from New York to London was $100, or $5 a word. The commercial rate is now 25 cents a word. To send ten words from Chicago to New York in 1866 cost $2.05, while the same service now costs 40 cents. A telegram from New York to Manila costs $2.45 a word. To pay nearly $25 for a ten word message to the Philippines seems extravagant, but as long as it must go three-fifths of the distance around the globe and pass through the hands of half a dozen different companies it is as reasonable a price as is likely to be given. It costs but little less to telegraph to some points in the West Indies or in South America because the message must go by way of Europe and be flashed twice under the Atlantic. It is probable that we will have in a few years a Pacific cable of our own, when rates of communication will doubtless be greatly reduced. ◘
