TelegraDhic Communication be.
tween America and Asia,

The recent success of the telegraph
lie cable between this country and
Europe cannot fail to stimulate other
enterprises of a similar nature. It's
success is now demonstrated without
a doubt, and It's Importance as a means
Of intorcommunicati0n between the
two continents is daily increasing.
The next great telegraphic achieve
ment will be the establishments of com
municaton between this country and
Asia, and as soon as that is accom-
plishcd these three continents of the
northern hemisphere will be in con-
slant communication with each other.
Already we are in daily oommunica-
lion with India and Ceylon, and the
Russian Government has established
lines from ST. Peterborough through
Siberia, to Behring's Straits.
Between Calcutta, the extremity Of
the English line and Behring's Straits,
is distance of $3.50 miles, and along
the proposed route Of a new telegraph
line lie the populous commercial cities
Of Canton, Annoy. Foo Chow, Ningoo,
Shanghm, Nankin and Pekin. From
1 Pekin to Behring's Straits the route
will be through barren and hospita-
bic country, and if n limo can be sue
cessfully established between these two
points, the whole Chinese Empire and
Eastern Asia, including japan. will be
in instant communication with Eng
land. A company has just been formed
with a capital Of Sl000,000 to estab-
lish this line, and has already entered
upon the work. 1t may require some
years to do this, but the success of the
Atlantic cable puts all doubts Of its
ultimate success to rest.
On our side of the Pacific the Cali
fonia line has been extended through
to Oregon, Washington Territory, and
British America. The completion of
the line between British America and
Siberia, and from thence TO Calcutta,

Between London and Paris There are
thirty-two wires in constant operation,
