The Telegraph.

boon brought to system that carly.
But it was practiced long ago, in tho
earliest ages. But the first telegraph
ing was simply conveying intelligence
BY signals. In 1874 an improved
system was adopted by The French for
communicating from one part of tic
army to another.
The tclcgruphing then was done up
on the same general principles adopt
cd for the signal corps during our late
war. This is tho optical telegraph,
oand Of course must be composed of flag
signals by day, and fire signals by
night.
Telegraph means literally "writing
afnr off," This art has been perfect
cd by the application of electricity.
The most wonderful application Of the
telegraph wo have lived to see in the
Atlantic cable.
The mere fact that one message is
written from ono end Of that cable to
the other, which is literally "afar off,"
shows thoro is no limit to the distance
upon the carth's surface over which
tho tclcgraphic message may run.
There may be external causes to Grip
pic the permanent success of the At
lantio cable, such rs tho wire resting
upon sharp elevated rocks, and of its
being, by the agitation of the sea, rock
cd until tho chatting upon those rocks
wears through tho insulating cover
ing. But tho indications now arc that
soon the world will be surrounded
with a tclegraphic wire running from
San Francisco across tho United
States to Newfoundland, and on thro'
the Atlantic to London, and thence
through the Channel to Paris, thence
to St, Petersburg, and thence far into
Siberia, whore the line already cx-
tcnds.
But the Russian Government is
preparing to continue their line
through Behring's Straits into Rus
sian America, and thence down the Pa
ci6c coast to San Francisco, which
will bring the wire clear round tho
world. This is certainly tho day of
great achievements.
