Inland and Submarine Teiegrsphic Commo-

From the London Times, April 81
The attention Of all spectators, both on this and
the other side Of the Atlantic has Of late been much
undertakings Of recent companies and the gigantic
failures which have sgnalixed the efforts OF others
have left the public mind in state OF some uncer

may be forthcoming for all attempts 10 form them.
As yet, however, notwithstanding the popularity OF
grspSs na espcV n the
United States. This has been in part owing TO the
expense, which, by inducing extra charges, has Of
course, by reducing the number rendered the trans
mission Of messages less lucrative than was at 6rst
stacles which stil present themselves In the
way OF long submarine cables. A scheme.
however, Is in process OF being organized, which
at least promises to meet all dssiderafo, 70
bring the means OF inland communications to the
doors of all In the United Kingdom, and To fathom
with Its submarine lines the broadcast and most dis
tant seas Whether the proposed plan will answer
or not we cannot say, though, If properly carried
out, It ought to do So for the improvements which
1t expects TO introduce into the means Of telegraph

who has devoted himself with untiring energy 70
perfecting the electric telegraph, to the develOpe
ment Of which he has applied practically some OF
the more important recent discoveries OF our chief
electricians. These improvements consist first, in
essential mechanical alterations introduced into the
construction Of submarine cables, and next in
various new apparatus for the application 10

veries in v0ltaic electric Induction. On both points
the gain to the public should be great II the inven
tons and the further improvements which they Will
naturally suggest are properly and energcticsy car
ried into effect. The error which has hitherto
proved so fatal to most plans for submarine CON-
muncayiOn has been that Of having q pOnderous
