The Sab Marine Teiegraph-a Difficulty Re
WOyed.

Heretofore the chief practical difficulty in the
construction of the sub marine telegraph has
been the laying of the immense cable OF iron in
which the wire has been enclosed. This Difficult
ty, SO formidable as to have occasioned the fail
ure If the experiment at Newfoundland and in
the Mediterranean. has at length been overcome
or superseded by the investi CATIONS and dscove-
ries of Lieut.. Maury. That distinguished gen
tleman has ascertained. through a vast number
of deep-sea soundings suggested and instituted
by him, not only the the common impression
spectng the great depth Of the is CHROME
GUS but that the bottom of the ocean is covered
many feet deep with lifeless infusoria. He has
also demonstrated, by series of original obser-
sations. that the ocean currents scarcely reach
the bottom Of the ocean, but leave this soft bed Of
infusoria almos, wholly undisturbed and peace.
full. As, consequently. the telegraphie wire, when
laid in this bed will not be at all subjected TO the
shocks and abrasions to which it would be liable

and continually swept by oceanic currents, it, Of
course, will not require the protection of the pom
derous and unwieldy cable hitherto employed, but
simply that Of the common gutta- percha and
hempen coverings. Accordingly the latter will
henoefortb be substituted for the former and the
great enterprise 60 forward rapidly toward a so-
