TESTING THE TELEPHONE.
Col. Roclwcll's Once and the Capitol d
subtcrrcne Communication.

Col. RoclsNyoll's Odicc and the Capitol I'm
subtcrrcno Communication.
The telephone and telographic test over
forty-two miles Of underground cable wire
wore made nt noon yesterday between the
office of Col Rockwell, Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, and tho capitol.
Mr. Van Havenberg was in charge at tho
former point and Mr. A. J. Kennedy and Mr..
James Austin, of the Underground Cable
company, at the capitol end. A number of
interesting telephone tosts were made.
Durlrg one of them gentleman stood fully
ten feet from the instrument and conversed
over the long line. A watch was held close
to the diaphragm, and its ticking sounded at
tho other end like that Of large clock. Mr..
Il. S.Waring, the in rentor of tho underground
system, was present and witnessed tho ex-
poriments, beside number Of newspaper
men and others interested In electric
matters
The first test made was of two parallel cir
cults running side by side through tho cable,
one of which was used rs Morse wire and
the other for telephone. The result showed
not the slightest interference between the
two-the ordinary swapping and cracking
being entirely absent. A number of other
tests wero then proposed by telephone
manager, oil of which resulted satisfactorily
to those present
Another test was through three cables, two
OF which were about 81 miles in length, and
one of ABOUT II miles. As each of these cables
had six conductors, oil of which were con-
nected together, the total length talked
through was over forty miles. Through this
length, the enunciation was little weaker,
though still perfectly clear.
The last test made was Of the insulation of
the cables. The instrument used for this
purpose was Thomson rejecting galvanome-
ter. The insulation was shown to bo so per-
feet that the ordinary test by reflection was
impossible, and the only one that could be
mado was the charge" test. This is made
by placing given charge in the cable, and
noting the time it remains undiminished.
Should a defect to the extent of one microhm,
or one millionth part of an ohm exist, no
charge can be held. As matter of fact, the
charge was held for u minutes, indicating an
exceptionally good insulation. Henry Van
Hoevenbergh, the electrician in charge,
stated that it had held tho complete amount
for 81 hours.
