AN INTERESTING FEAT.
From San Francisco to Hearts Con-
tent and Back in Three Minutes.


A wonderful feat was performed bo-
tween this city and Valencia Bay, Ire
land, few years ago, and We think was
noticed in the papers at the time. A
continuous circuit was made up between
San Francisco md Hearts Content (about
4, 800 miles), the cable landing on the
American side, As very delicate in
strument is used to telegraph through
the cable, this circuit could not be
worked beyond the end OF the
cable, but n conversation was
held between the operator at the
instrument in San Francisco and the
ono at Hearts Content, and then a re-
quest made to see how soon reply
could be had from Ireland. The mes
sage sent from here was as follows:
40 Operator Valencia Bay-Ten
O'Clock here; what time is it with your
The reply came almost instantly as fol.
follows: "Six o'clock in the morning, and
the maids are milking the cows" From
the time the message was started from
the operator here until the reply was
received did not exceed three minutes.
The above extraordinary feat took place
under the immediate direction of Mr..
James Gamble. who vouches for the
correctness of the above. The distance
to Valencia Bay and back makes about
10000 miles. The difference in time
between San Francisco and London is
about eight hours.
