TIE CABLE.-We take from the Boston Post
the following brief, but intelligent and ntelli-
gible, explanation of the reason why messages
are not yet being transmitted over the cable
riddle which excites moro popular attention
in this country just now than any other:
" The Advertiser has intelli gence from Trinity
Bay, asserting that the delay in sending mes
sages across the Atlantic is owing to two cause,
1t appears that i'm the passage Of one electrical
signal across the ocean-nOt only is an apprp-
ciable time consumed-but the signal itself
changes, in degree, its original character II
Is, so to speak, stretched out signal which
on a short line, would seem perfectly sharp and
prompt, takes the form of long wave and re-
QuireS from six to ten seconds TO declare itself
between the beginning of its effect and its end
Between what such signal would be at the end
of short wire, and what il Is at the end of the
Atlantic wires, there is somewhat the same diff
ference as between the shortest (staccato) blast
OF whistle, and note drawn out with the swell
Of organ, to the length Of six or even ten sec
onds. A distinct feature to be observed is the
s,ceH Of the prolonged signal. 1t has most force
in the middle Of its period, and gains and loses
that force gradually. The ordinary instruments
in use for telegraphing are not adapted TO such
peculiarities In the electric signals and therefore
material alterations will have to be made Hence
the delay"
