Tile GABLE.

The news, published in our issue of yesterday, with
regard TO the disasters attending the late attempt to
Law the cable Of the ocean telegraph, seems to have
revived the doubts Of many as to the practicsbility Of
the enterprise.
Indeed without pretending to the accuracy OF the
scientific investigation necessary for a thorough un
derstanding of the subject, we must confess to some
participation in the doubts which have been expressed
on the matter. II seems undeniable that any inau.
ence which may operate to produce increasing viora-
ton, must sever a cable suspended in water for thou
sands Of miles. Itis clearly impossible to sink the
cable altogether. 1t must remain suspended at n
depth where the hydroststic pressure will equahze
the specific gravity of the water with that OF
the wire and caoutchouc. Thus the entire length
Of the cable will communicate each vibration
between the different s~oupdings where it rests
on the bottom; and a single vibration may be
sufficiently violent to strain u few inches Of cable
with a force equal to the entire weight of the part
through which the vibration extends at least equal
to the weight Of that part OF the cabls included in
the curve of vibration. If this theory be correct.
land it is suggested by an ADLER mind than our own.)
1t is evident that several miles OF the Atlantic cable
may be included in a single curve; and it is equally
evident that no one point of the cable can be made TO
sustain the weight even of a single mile.
Only under one supposition, would the cable he en-.
tirely safe, even after it was laid and anchored firmly
at every point where the soundings would permit
Ito natural water line of suspension must be perfectly
STILL, andisturbed by any movement which would
communicate vibration. We doubt whether any Of
our philosophers are sufficiently acquainted with the
great depths Of the great deep to demonstrate euch
an enduring state OF quiescence. But supposing this
TO be 60, 1, seems most probable that the extent and
variety of vibration necessarily incident to paying
ont a thousand miles Of cable from the tafrail Of a
ship in motion, will, in every instance. defeat the lay
ing Of the GABLE.
