I'/FR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an 'entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation. . _ _

the depth of water along the deep sea portion can be no
greater than that in which the present Atlantic cables
aro laid.

I anticipate, from the soundings about to ba taken by
the French ship of war, that a good deal of favourable
ground will be found from Milne bank to the Grand bank
of Newfoundland.
I am, dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) JAMES ANDERSON.

London, 4th August, 1868.
Gentlemen,.--At your request we have much pleasure
in handing you the present report on the cable recom-
mended by us to be laid from Brest to St. Pierre, and from
St. Pierre to tin, coast of the United Srates.

The deep sea cable adopted is almost exactly similar to
tlytt used in 1863 and 1866. The great merit of this form
is its strength, both absolute and relative to the strains
required while laying the cable. The actual strength of
this hemp and steel cable is 74 tons, while the strain re-
quired for submersion need not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it
should bs necessary to haul back any portion already laid,
the strain need not exceed 11 tons in the deepest water.
The strength is, therefore,. amply sufficient to meet all
contingencies, with a margin quite as great as is allowed in
anv ordinary engineering construction or operation. We
need hardly remind you of the experimental proof which
has been given that this form of cable can, even if broken in
the deepest water, be recovered by dredging, but we take
the opportunity of expressing our deliberate opinion
that this success was not fortuitous, but that the experi-
ment might be repeated as often as required with a like
result. The power of transmitting messages through long
submarine lines is no longer a matter of doubt, and the
laws affecting their transmission are well understood. Wo
can promise with certainty that through your enlarged
core you will.be able to send twelve words per minute,
and by improved methods of signalling we expect to in-
crease this minimum considerably. The length of your
cable, which will be in deep water, will be no greater than
that of the existing cables, and it will rest on the same
smooth and safe bottom. The shallow water section will
be a heavy cable, protected ftftnlst rust by a bituminous
compound, as used for the Persian Gulf cable. The route
avoids all considerable anchorages and all danger from
icebergs, and should any interruption ever occur on this
portion it can bo repaired with certainty and rapidity.
In conclusion, the strength of your cable is such as to
render its submersion a safe operation ; the route to be
followed is eminently favourable, and a good commercial
speed is certain to be obtained. You secure the advan-
tage of a direct communication, and the risks you run are
not greater in any way than those already surmounted.
Wo are, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. PORDE and
C. F. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN.
LATIMER CLARKE,
Messrs. Erlanger and Reuter.
