Three with the first barrel, and two
with the second.

the wheels, brakes. and other valuable

the wheels. brakes. and other valuable
machinery.
The machinery used for picking up a
cable in both deep and shallow water is
OF the most simple description. Ii con-
sists of a rope about an inch and a
quarter in diameter, made from twisted
strands of the strongest hemp with in
terwoven wires of fine steel. The
prapnel at the end is merely solid
shaft of iron some two feet long. weigh
ing about hundred pounds. and pro-
ionged into six blunt hooks which very
much resemble the partly-clossd fingers
of the human hand. In picking up the
cable in deep water the Nina. after
reaching the waters near the break. lets
out her rope and grapnel, then takes a
course at right angles 10 the cable and
at some distance from the fracture, so
that the broken end may not slip
through the grapnel. The grapnelrope
is attached to n dynamometer which ex-
actly measures the strain ON the rope.
and shows unerringly when the cable
has been caught Ii the grapnel fouls
a rock the strain rises very suddenly
and to high point; but the exact
weight of the cable being known. the
dynamometer signals by the steady
rate of increase its hold on the cable
far below The ease and certainty
with which the cables are picked up in
these DAYS is amazing. Awhile ago one
of the lines of the Anglo-American
Company was caught without trouble at
a depth of two and quarter miles near
the middle of the Atlantic. Captain
Trott, of the Nina, who has won great
fame for his skill and ingenuity in cable
matters. but recently picked up the
French cable 1870 miles of st. Pierre.
and in four hours from the time the
grapnel was let 90 had the cable spliced
and in working condition. The splicing
is work of great delicacy and skill.
and when accomplished by trained
fingers the "spliced part can scarcely
be d stinguished from the main cord.
So rapid has been the improvement in
pertecting the modern cahe that the re-
sistance to the electric current has been
reduced to one-quarter what it was
twenty years ago. while the duplex sys-
TEN of sending and receiving messages
doubles the capacity of every new cable
laid. The working age of the modern
cable is about thirteen years.-COr. ~.

Ocean Cables.

The cable steamer Nina, which the

craft of some ), 900 tons burthen. and
with unusual beam for Il vessel of her
length. Her work consists entirely of
repairing. the laying of full-length
cables being relegated 10 large steam
ers like the Great Eastern. the Hooper,
or the Faraday. Occasionally, how
ever, tie Nina is required 10 relay con-
siderable portions. and she carries regu-
larry in her tanks about six hundred
miles of fresh cable. The tanks, some
twenty-five feet in diameter. reach far
down into her capacious hold. and the
cables are coiled in deep layer around
n central core. The larger the core the
less the capacity of the tank, and. on
the other hand, the smaller the core the
greater the danger that the paving out

the cable lifts before him holds
down the adjacent coils and sees
that the cable is free. 1t not
mcommcnly happens that one of
these watchers grows careless and is
knocked by one OF the ascending coils
head over heels among his fellows. for
the modern cable steamers often pay
out the coils with velocity reaching
seven or eight miles an hour. After
running from the tanks the cable passes
over series of wheels, fitted with a
power system OF brakes, which can be
applied instantly. Then ii goes over a
wheel at the stern. and is dropped into
the ocean Inpicking up the cable the
coils pass over large wheel, thence TO
the tanks. where they are carefully re-
laid. The modern iirst-class Atlantic
