SCIENCE AND ART. - -
The great Atlantic Cable Is the leading
theme Of discussion and interest among the
savans on both sides the ocean, to say moth"
Ing Of the commercial stake in its success,
The electric machine By which the cable Is to
be manipulated ia also new invention. The
batteries and recording machines {alo1se'e)
used In the cable Of 1858 were declared BY en-
lnent electricians Of Europe as wholly made:
guate in strength and power to operate tie
line. AL these difficulties have been over
come, aa experiments have proved, ard the
credit for this triumph Of science is wholly
due to Professors Thomson and Cromwell
Fleetwood Yarley, the electricians to the At
lantic Cable Company. The recording ma
chine is particularly, the Invention Of
entidc ability. II Is expected that tho entire
cable will be securely collel on board the Great
Eastern by the 4th Of July, proximo, and that
she vii start from Sheemess for Valentia On
the 9Th, rebch; that point on the 8th, make
the splice with the shore end and depart on
her mission Immediately, weather permlttlnx.

tanks Of the vessel, which will keep her trim

The last dying pulsa,ion Of the old At
lantIc cable was forced through BY means Of
u galTanic battery con6isting Of trio hundred
aud forty cells. The submarine telegraph
from London to Amsterdam Is habitual1y
worked With a battery Of afsy cells, and such
battery is commonly ussd for the other
submarine lines ID Europe. Signals hare
been repeatedly sent through more than thlr-
teen hundred miles Of the cable now on
board the Great Eastern By means OF one

use for land telegraph current from one
