The BROKEN ATLANTIC CABLE Thrilling Story.
The London Spectator tells the following singular
and most interesting story:
Night and day, for q whole year, an electrician
has always been on duty watching the tiny ray Of
light through which signals are given. and twice
every day the whole length of wire-l240 miles
has been tested for conductivity and insulation.
The object Of observingsthe ray Of light
was, of course, not any expectation Of message,
but simply to keep an accurate record of the con-
dition of the wire. Sometimes, indeed, wild ineo-
herent messages from the deep did come, but
these were merely the results of magnetic storms
and earth currents, which DETECTED the gayan-
ometer rapidly, and spelt the most extraordinary
words and sometimes even sentences of nonsense,
upon the graduated scale before the mirror.
Suddenly last Saturday morning, at quarter to
O'Clock, while the light was being watched by
Mr.. May, he observed peculiar indication about
it which showed at once to his experienced eye
that message was at hand. In few minutes
afterwards the unsteady Pickering was changed to
cohereney, if we may use such term and at once
the cable began to speak, to transmit, that is at
regular intervals, the appointed signals which in
dicated human purpose and method at the other
end, instead of the hurried signs, broken speech
and inarticulate cries of the still terate Atlantic,
After the long interval in which it had brought us
nothing but the moody and often delrious mutter-
| ings of the sea stammerng over its alphabet in
| vain, the words Canning to Glass must have
seemed like the first rational word uttered by a
highfever patient when the rawlings have ceased
and his consciousness returns.

on fire. He was found in the house itself at the
time of his arrest with the doors and windows of

whenhe came into it, oneyear before that he had
picked them up in some of his excursions upon

thought he had right to do as he pleased with
his own property. His English is rather difficult
to be understood, and the whole matter is one moi
easily to be comprehended. Otherwise, of him
