IhE GABLEs--A correspondence NFlbes u bhe ESeW.
York Times:
am employed in the first jeweiry shop in Newark,
N j. Several miles of the cable were cut and Fixed
up by the wOrkmen Of said shop. Many pieces
passed through my hands, and one Of them made me
doubt of the possibility Of any kind Of success. 1t
happened to be one cut at the very place where the
wire is soldered. How many such places there are
cannot say, not knowing the length of the different
pieces of wire added together to form the 2000 miles
submerged but it is, if all the functions ara as
poorly made as the one that passed through my
hands, the continuity Of the electric current is
posed to be, perhaps, several hundred times inter
rupted.
The adding is simply made with soft SOLDER which,
comparatively to the weight and jerks it is exposed
to, is about as strong frozen water would be to
stick together two pieces of wood, Besides, the
seven wires are unskilfuly cut of and soldered to-
gether at the place. So that were il not for a
kind of brass ferrule surrounding for half inch the
Joined parts the current would already be altogether
stopped Hence, since the I'd of September g only
these weak manifestations At least, such is my
fear. Although / might call it a conviction, offer
my remarks to the public SO that were second
cable made that incredible mistake may hereafter be
avoided.
/ Those newspapers which lately were emphatic
with assertions that all the wire vas not made ia
England will soon be as confident the other side.
