OCEAN .TELEGRAPH CABLES.--The main point
to be insisted on, we think, in the construction of a suitable
cable should be the coiling of the central or electric wires
round a stout cord, so as to allow of a little stretching with-
out the absolute fracture to which a straight wire is ever
liable on the least strain; and the completion of this core by
implanting it in the heart of a hempen rope, well woven
around it, and, it may be, saturated with some such sub-
stance as well-dried linseed oil, before the insulating cover-
ing of liquified material is laid on (perhaps through the aid
of vacuum power, -to withdraw all air from the rope.) If,
finally, the whole could be enveloped in a further inter-
weavement of hempen strands, well tarred or pitched (a. far
more preservative material is said to have been lately dis-
covered), the sae plus ultra of an ocean telegraph cable goold
thus, WO think, he realised,—Zhe Builder.
