Ten Thousand Miles of Wire.

On rough calculation it is estimat-
ed counting the wires Of all the
telegraph companies, telephone com
panies, district telegraph companies
and the police and fire departments
there are more than ten thousand
miles of telegraph wires swinging
over New York city. They run in
every imaginable direction, and such
tremendous network of wire is un-
heard of in any other city. In the
continental cities of Europe the num-
Der of telegraph wires in operation is
mere bagatelle compared with New
York's gigantic showing. 1t is being
seriously agitated that some concert
ed action should be taken with view
of placing all, or nearly all, the wires
underground, in place of having them,
as now, obstructins the streets and
disfguring the housetops
A new danger from telegraph wires
has recently been developed by the
introduction of the electric light
wires. Such tremendous current of
electricity is necessary in operating
these lights, that human being who
might happen to come in the direct
circuit would be instantly killed by
the shock. The repairing of the wires
affords employment to small army Of
line men and others, who are con-
stantly employed on the work, as the
wires are always breaking or becom-
ing crossed Not storm comes
along that does not do great damage
to the wires, and if they could once
be put underground an immense saw
ing would result to the companies 1;
but then the outlay necessary to per-
feet and carry out such colossal un-
dertaking would be very large. There
are dozens of patents and plans for
putting the wires underground, but
whether any of them are practicable
for use on an extensive scale yet re-
mains to be seen.
The Edison Electric Light Com
pany are placing all their wires un-
derground, and have nearly ten miles
already laid. One of the chief Difficult
ties in the way of placing the wires
beneath the surface is the vast amount
of sewers and pipos already laid.
Some idea of the way the streets are
cut UP may be gained from the fol-
lowing figures, which show the num-
Der of miles already underground
Sewers, 1888 miles water mains, 512
miles gas pipes, 8S2 miles steam
pipes, mile pneumatic tubes, three
fourths mile tubes for telegraph
wires, Il miles tubes for electric

Of modern canals, that through the
Isthmus of Suez is by far the most
important, it, indeed, is not the most
important of any age. The length of
the work is about one hundred miles,
connecting the Mediterranean with
the Red sea- The engineer of the
work was NJ Ferdinand de Lesseps, a
Frenchman, now engaged in con
struct ing a canal across the Isthmus
of Darien. The Suez canal was pro
jected in 1853 and officially opened
November IL, 1869. The width of
the canal at the top is 325 feet and at
the bottom Y feet: its depth about
26 feet. Its cost was more than 300,
100000 francs. This grand achieve
ment was forecast by Napoleon l.,
but hesupposed natural obstacles de-
ferred its accomplishment for more
than half century. Its success has
had the greatest influence on the
commerce of the world.
The tunnel now being bored under
the North river at New York is one of
the bold investments of American
capital, and, though it has been
marred by lamentable accidents and
loss of life, its final success is per-
fectly assured.
But above all, and beyond all of
the grand conceptions of engineering
genius and ventures of capital, is the
tunnel under the English Channel.
Like the Suez canal, this work was
first seriously proposed by Napoleon
|. In 1872 the present company was
chartered. The location, as finally
adopted, places the tunnel on line
drawn from st. Margaret's bay, near
the South Foreland, on the English
side, to a point between Sangatte and
Calais, in France. The length of the
work is thirty-one miles, of which
twenty-five will be under the chan
mel. The plan of construction, as
originally announced, was to sink
shafts on either shore 450 feet below
high water mark, drift-ways to be
driven from the bottom of these for
drainage of the tunnel proper, which
was to begin 200 feet above the drift
way and be pushed from both ends.
The crown of the arch is to be not
less than 200 feet below the water at
any point. The last reports were
that the conditions had been found
favorable, and that less than ten years
would suffice for its completion, and
at cost of probably not exceeding
S60,000,000. Estimates of the cost of
works so unprecedented must neces-
sarily be mere approximations, to be
revised at almost every step Owing
to the opposition of Great Britain,
based on the fear that the tunnel
would be dangerous to her in case of
war with France, the completion of
the tunnel is doubtful.
Such are some of the accomplished
facts and projected enterprises by
which the present time challenges
comparison, or rather contrasts, with
past ages, and may Fairly said to
have oyershadowedY achievements
which are in mans lin truth, no
longer wonders. Ng.s

light wires, Z miles; total, 1889 5S-1OO
According to the superintendent Of
the fire department that depart.
ment alone has some 900 miles of
wire over ground, supported on about
5000 poles, They have four wires
underground from fire headquarters
to police headquarters, and about 75
wires under ground in Mercer street
to the corner of Houston street. Those
were laid in wooden trough, and
then solution of pulverized glass
resin and other material were poured
into the trough, forming a solid com
pact mass. 1t works well enough So
far, but it would require several wears
to test the patent thoroughly, and tbe
wires have only been down about sir
months, From other sources il was
learned that the wires in all the prin,
cipal cities of Great Britain and the
continent are all placed beneath tbe
ground, and that the system works
we'll. The only trouble experienced
is locating break when one occnrs
and repairing it. This would prove
a serious trouble in having the wires
underground in New York, as the
streets would have to be continually
dug up to get at the many breaks sure
to occur The wires are coated with
the best gutta percha and placed in
hardwood boxes or iron tubes. 1t has
been found that, even with all these
precautions, the boxes are eaten
through, and the gutta percha cover
ing of the wires destroyed by a vora-
cious little species of worm, against
whose boring proclvities even iron is
scarcely proof. Sometimes whole
section of street has to be torn nm
to discover the defective wire.
