ductor is perfect, Whether any other faults ex-
lists beyond tho one alluded to. il is impossible to
ascertain. by tests from yalen,ia. and tho fact
that signals received ut Vnlentia always bet
ter than those received ut Newfoundland, proves
undoubtedly. that worse insulation has always
been near Valentia therefore it seems probable,
