How freaks Arc Located with the NId OF
he Gnlvanometer.
When the Ponyer-Qucrtior, French
steamer built expressly for laying
,coan cables, was in Boston harbor u
week or two ago, many plcasurc-scek-
ers, as we'll rs news -gathcrers, boarded
her, intent upon learning something
about cables and men who care for
them. One inquiring person button
holed the first officer and piled him
with questions
"lIow do you know, when the cable
lies way out in mid-ocoan, when you
nave to repair brcakp'
"Oh. that's easily explained. Deeply
buried rs these cables are bcsnath tho
tracklcss level OF the oceans surface,
the exact path in which each of them
lies is we'll known bv series of chart
indications which were made at tho
time OF their construction. by means
OF computations based upon these
sources Of information captain can
guide his vessel TO any spot along the
line in mid-ocean, whore no guide
posts but the lights OF heaven exist,
and know OF certainty that he is
within very short distance OF n point
directly over the cumbent cable hum
drcds OF fathoms below"
You said little while ago that II
there was break in the cable between
Cape Ann and Ireland that the approx
innate position OF the break could be
ascertained by the operator at Canso.
Now, how could he tell any thing about
IL except that communication was
stopped?"
We'll, 1t is by one OF the marvellous
things in modern invention that he Is
able To accomplish this. The delicate
instrument called the galvanometer
will tell him in the space of very
few seconds OF what spot in the hun
drcds of miles length of cable, down
among the dark reccsses of the oceans
bed, the accident to the wire has oc-
CURED. The acutencss Of the instru-
mcnt lies simply in its ability to regis
ter with unfailing accuracy the amount
OF resistance the unbroken wire gives.
With this information, and knowing
already the other conditions OF the
size of the wire and the amount OF its
resistance per mile, the operator can
calculate the distance from the station
at which the break has occurred. II
there should be two breaks he. OF
course. can give information regard
ing the first one only. since the cleo
trio connection is stopped there. IL
the-operator at the outer end should
make n similar test OF his unbroken
portion. and IL should be found, upon
comparing the two results, through
some other perfect cable that they did
not supplement each others distances.
then IL would be evident that there
were at least two breaks at n known
distance from each other. Such in
stances have not occurred. however"
