LOCATING BREAKS IN CABLES.

Simple as are the methods of locating
mid-ocean breaks in cables, so that a YES
sci may sail to the point Of rupture, they
are, perhaps, not popularity understood.
If the metallic conductor were broken,
the surrounding insulation remaining
perfect, the electrostatic charge of the
cable, or the amount of electricity which
it absorbs in becoming charged, is cleo
tricity weighed by building up an artifi-
cial line until the current flows equally
into the cable and such artificial line.
This equal division of the current might
be indicated by difierential instrument
resembling the duplex relays. If the cur
rents are equal, the armature of the diff
ferential instrument remains quiescent
during their passage through its coils,
for one balances the other. Each ele-
ment of the artificial line having the sta
tic capacity of known length of cable,
an inventory of the elements used in
making the artificial line would obvious
ly give the length of the cable. This
process is no more abtruse than would
be the determination of the distance to a
water-tight obstruction in appe, by fore
ing in or pumping out water and taking
its measurement. If 1t were known that
pint of water filled a foot of the pipe,
the length of the conduit would equal in
feet the number of pints pumped out or
forced in.
If, however, the insulating covering OF
the wire is broken, the current will flow
freely from the conductor to the sur
rounding water, and its strength, if the
power of the battery is known, definitely
measures the electrical resistance and
consequently the length of the conduc-
tor. In other words, the battery-power
divided by the indicated current-strength
gives the lines resistance, and therefore
its length. In the same manner, if we
know the head of a water-supply, we may
easily determine the length of a pipe by
noting the velocity of the flow.-[Chas

THE GREAT AFRICAN FORESTS.

The great forest through which Stan
ley recently passed, which he estimated
to cover 246,000 square miles, is only a
small part of the great African forest
which extends almost unbrokenly from
the west coast in the Gaboon and Ogowe
regions, with a width of several hundred
miles, to the great lakes. This belt of
timber, trending away to the heart of the
continent in direction little south of
east, is, perhaps, the greatest forest re-
gion in the world. A part of it strikes
south of the Congo at the great northern
bend of that river, and the country en-
braced within the big curve is covered
with compact forest, the towering and
wide-spreading trees shutting out large
part of the sunlight.
In these forests, completely shut out
from the rest of the world, live hundreds
of thousands of people who are almost
unknown to the tribes living in the sa-
vannah regions outside. Scattered
through the big woods within the Congo
bend are little communities of Batwa
dwarfs, of whose existence the traveller
has no inkling until he suddenly comes
upon them. Here also, along the Sankurn
river, are the tree habitations described
by DR.. Wolf, where the natives live in
huts built among the branches to escape
the river floods. 1t was in great clear
ings made in these forests that Kund and
Tappenbeck discovered some of the most
notable villages yet found in Africa,
where well-buit huts, with gable roofs,
line both sides of neatly kept street
that stretches away for eight or nine
miles. These villages are even more in
teresting than the street towns in the
more sparsely timbered regions south of
them, which were regarded as very won
derful when they were first discovered
by Wissman. 1t was his account Of these
villages that led Bishop Taylor to choose
this part OF Africa as the goal he wished
to reach.
Last year the Commercial company,
which in investigating the trade re-
sources of the Congo, sent its steamer,
the Roi DIES Belges, up the Ikatta river
into this great timber land, and the ex-
plorers described the country along the
banks as 'covered with an almost i'm
penetrable virgin forest. 1t a veritable
ocean of verdure, from which emerges
here and there a wooded mountain "
Greenfell penetrated the forest for long
distances on several southern tributaries
of the Congo, and on the upper courses
of these rivers he sometimes found the
wide-spreading branches forming COM
plete roof above the stream.
