THE ATLANTIC OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
FOR NEW CABLE.
From the London Tfmes.l
The Atlantic telegraph, and all that relates to It,
the best kind of rope to be used the best means OF
getting it down, and the best way to work it when
it is down; the whole scheme, in fact seems to be
slowly drifting back again into those realms of theo-
ry and speculation from which it has only recent
ly emerged. Already there are many projectors
and competitors in the field, some to work the old
rope, some to make a new 1t is not cheering to
find that public attention is almost instinctivey di-
rccted to the consideration ofthe latter project, and
that to the hopes and expectations of the majority,
the present wire-laid at such COST and with such
rsks-is already regarded as virtually lost and use
less.
Among those who have come forward with rene
dies for overcoming the difficulties of the Atlantic,
in new rope is required, is Mr.. RoWett, who,
that there may be mistake about the matter, ex-
presses himself willing to contract to lay the
rope from Valentia to Newfoundland everything
included, for as small a as flS2,OOO or t2OO,-
600 less than the capital expended by the Atlantic
Company Such an offer has naturally directed
some attention to Mr.. Rowett's plan, which is sim
ply that of Il rope-cOvered electric wire instead OF
the old mode of proceeding by wire-covered rope
Mr.. Rowetts idea is to have the conductor well and
safely insulated with gutta percha, and then simply
enclosed without tuftnef preparation III Ine SIfdnu5
of common hemp cable about an inch in diameter.
A piece has already been made-not with view of
displaying what would be necessary for the Atlantic
depths, but to illustrate the peculiar advantages
which such mode of construction gives over the
wire cable. This specimen is certainly as light as
flexible and strong could be desired and these
three qualities must be the very sine qua with
all future Atlantic telegraphs
The cost of such a cable would be only, as Mr.. How
EFT alleges, $50 per mile, its weight about cwt,
and its breaking strain four tons, or nearly twice as
much as could ever come upon it while being sub
merged-no matter what the state of the weather,
how the vessel might be plunging. To this partlcu-
lar rope, we have said, certain amount of at
tention has lately been directed, owing no doubt,
to Mr.. ROwetts offer to take it in working order
across the ocean to America for a regular con-
tract price per mile. But, beyond the the feeling
due to an offer of such magnitude, and made with
such confidence of success, neither the proposal
the rope deserve the notice they have attracted.
Mr.. Rowetts idea of rope-covercd wire is by
means o-e, and, what is more to the pur-
pose the cable is almost without exception far in
feriOr in most important requisites to Others that
designed some time before this was thought
of. 1t is light, strong and flexible, but so are all
such ropes and even is the present Atlantic cable
(if we may still call it So in very high degree.
The difference between Mr.. ROwett's rope and
and others of the same kind is, that in the former
adequate protection is given to the gutta percha
and never be given by his method of stranding
the hemp, whereas with all others this important
point is carefully considered and provided for. For
these and for other reasons which show the cable to
have been designed and constructed by person un-
acquainted with what submarine telegraph re-
quires, it is of its kind inferior cable, though it
has certainly done good service in directing atten-
ton to the general question OF rope covered with
wires for the purpose of deep sea telegraphy.
