THE NEW YORK HERALD ON THl
ATLANTIC CABLE.-The success Of the
cable so far has been complete. The
electricians have been able to transmit
messages at the rate of eleven words
per minute with moderately light bat
teries and that is more than was ex-
pected. 1t is true that the cable may
not last for a very long time. The
abrasion at the bottom of the ocean
may wear it out, and it will probably
become necessary to renew it eve '
year but there will doubtless b4ns,
lines laid across the Atlantic Imp Imp
| ton to the old cable, which often
to be raised and reconstruct suit
may expect to find cable layin
