REVELATIONS ABOUT THE ATLANTIC CABLE,
We learn several important facts as to the At
lantic telegraph cable from the statement of
Mr.. Narley, the new electrician, to the direc-
tors. He has satisfied himself by experiment
that beside the defective insulation some-
where between two hundred and forty. Il We
and three hundred miles from the Irish coast
there is another great defect about half. way
between the coast and mid-ocea and that
this defect was evident in the cable both be-
fore 1t was embarked and while it was ON the
Agamemnon-apd yet it was laid Mr.. Var.
ley also tells us that not single message has
been recorded on the teegraphic instruments
since the cable was laid, aud that what has
been got through has been read, very INNER
fectly, of course, by the reflections Of gal
yanometer. He also says that the powerful
currents sent over the cable have probably inn
paired the insulation, as they have been suf-
hcent to burn through the gutta peTcha when
there has been resistance to the conducting
wire lie thinks that II more moderate pow.
er had been used, the cable might still have
been capable of transmitting messages. Mr..
Narley pronounces the conducting wire of
the present cable too small to have worked
satisfactorily, even If the insulation had been
sound. Thus we get by degrees at the secret
history OF the cable, aud it is by no mama
creditablo to those who have had the manage.
meat Of the enterprise. The only satslse-
ton comes from the'hope that those who Law
the next cable will learn something from ths
mistakes Of their predecessors.
