Under his leadership the Atlantic Tele- graph company was reconstituted as the Anglo- American Telegraph company with a capital of 600,000 pounds of which he subseribed for nearly half. The Gutta-Percha company became the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance com- pany. A new cable was made and enough addi tional to complete the cable of 1865. The Great Eastern was purchased and on July 18, 1868, steamed Into Trinity bay, Newfoundland, trailing behind her a continuous line of aable stretching back to the Irish coast. The shore end was landed safely, the Great Eastern steamed east ward agaln, grappled for the lost end of the 1865 cable, recovered It, spliced on a new section and on September 8 landed #his also In New- foundland, It Is Interesting to note that In the new cable which spans the Atlantle from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, to Penzance, England, history 1s repeating Itself, for in 1012 the Western Union Telegraph company became the operating sue- cessor of the Anglo-American Telegraph company, leasing the five cables then owned by the orig Inal company, between Great Britaln and the United States, and so great is the advance over all previous cable systems which the new cable inaugurates, Its completion seems destined to 18648 the inch In tion of It, as lh ' cable Though only an feed men section diameter, CTONS to be composed consisting of di nermos nunicatic th YY . sites hae cop er congucmio one-fifth o the copper carry th of these conductor the floor of conductor golid consisting put the line could hardly conductor Wrapped this copper New York of permalloy Rive the minute.

Before being applied to the cable each is wrapped over its entire length with a fabric to prevent Its oxidation under water. Finally, the cable is wrapped with two pervings of jute yarn saturated in coal tar, wound on spirally, which form the outer covering.

TT™he eighteen galvanized ’ diameter of nine cable and the ninth to be operated by the Western Union, had made deep-sea cables obsolete, the fact re mains that cable companles continue to spend millions of dollars on new cable costs, that they have a full knowledge of radio's capacity and the lines of Its probable future de velopment. The Importance of cables In world re lations was demonstrated at the close of the World war when an international complication threatened over the island of Yap. Yap ordinarily would be as unimportant as Its name suggests were it not for the fact that the question of a cable base was involved, So It Is likely that the future will see the network of cable lines con. necting all parts of the earth Increase instead of decrease and whenever a new one, and especially one such as the “world's fastest cable” In which important new developments are concerned, ls laid It will be news and big news, i OOQOO00 HOW .TO KEEP WELL DR.
