A gentleman, an officer in one Of
Her Majestys scientific corps, wrote
to the papers to explain that the ruPt'
ures in the White Sea cables were due
To the fact, which he claims TO have
discovered, that the world was grow
ing bigger, stretching itself,so to speak,
and bursting its bounds. This sug.

dy who, after the failure to lay the
1858 Atlantic Gable, wrote TO the

of being under-sea, should be over sea,
and proposing the Gibralter Rock, the
Peak of Tenerifie aud the Andes as
convenient points of suspension.
