A telegraph wire while i'll service lasts
from five to seven years according to eli
mate. Wires stretched across the At
lantic coast are often incrustcd with salt
deposit, which eventually becomes very
annoying to the operators, and if a storm
occur they are easily broken. ii is n9#
said that the annual amount of worn
out wire is not loss than 100 tons. lriS
is worth onc-eighth IF a cent pound,
while new wire costs from 5 to 7
sixteen feet to the pound.
Private wires are becoming a promi
utnt feature III business, and the Vest
ern Union now has more than 100

pensc of private wire from this city to
Philadelphia is So 500, while to Chicago
it is more than double. In such cases
the lessees furnish their own operators,
and thus save time, which is often inn
mensely valuable. This is especially
true in financial operations where min
utes often represent fortunes, and stock
quotations are in this manner flashed
over the wires as fast as they are uttered
in the exchange. The necessity of Sc
crecy is also becoming moro apparent,
and hence the use of cipher is now
adopted by leading houses. Cor. Gin
