What is the Atlantic cable made of! Does it
stay at the bottom of the ocean. or is it made of
something that floats enough to keep it off the
bottom2 II. MANNING.
RAYsvILLE, Ind.
There are now several Atlantic telegraph
cables. The first laid that continues to work
successfully was composed as follows: The con
ductor, 800 pounds per mile and oneseventh
inch thick, consisted of seven No. Is copper
wires, each one-twentieth inch thick. The core
was formed of four layers Of gutta-percha alter
mating with four of Chattertons compound Ia
solution of gutta-percha and Stockholm tar; the
core and conductor together were 700 pounds per
mile, and ninetwentieths inch thick. Outside
of this was a jacket of hemp jute yarn satu-
rated with preservation compound to resist the
action of the sea water and attacks of marine
animals. The sheath consists of ten
iron wires, each previously covered
with five tarred MANILA yarns. The whole
cable was one and one-eighth inch thick and
weighed nearly thirty-six hundredweight per
mile. From this it is apparent enough that it
must lie on the bottom of the sea- A much
lighter cable was made by Messrs Siemens in
1874, and was successfully laid in the succeeding
year, its weight being 480 pounds of copper and
400 pounds of gutta-percha per mile.

ANENT the Lasker resolutions, the Fort
Wayne Journal very pertinently says that
for Congress to send an official Endorsement
of the resolution to Bismarck was about as if
they should send a message to the British
Parliament recommending the theories of
Michael Davitt for the government of Ireland,
or of Mr.. Bradlaugh regarding the abolition
of religious tests" However the Lasker
resolutions are only the pretext. Bismarck is

SUIT has been brought against i. Wormser,
of New York city, for $4,000, for margins
due a grain-broker firm. 1t is represented that
Wormser has been making ."deals" for several
years past, and at one time-not long ago
was fully $100, 900 ahead. Luck turned against
him, as it always does against those who keep
at it, and he finds himself out to quite large
amount. His ingenious defense is that deal
ing in margins is gambling and that, there
fore, he does not legally owe the firm dollar.
He will probably be mulcted for the full
amount, with costs, as the courts do not favor
such plea on the part of a cogambler by his
own confession. The United States Court, at
Springfield, Ill, last week, passed adversely
on this defense.

on the premises is presumptive evidence of
guilt. Search can be made upon information
