This year two new telegraph cables
have been laid across the Atlantic, at a
cost of nearly e1,0O0,000 sterling-the
Commercial cable. from Waterville, Ire
land, to Canso, Cape Breton island, and
the Anglo-American cable, from Valen-
cha, also on the west coast of Ireland. to
Hearts Content, Newfoundland. This
latter cable Is the submarine giant of
1894, for it is the largest telegraph cable
ever constructed, the core weighing no
less than $50 pounds to the nautical
mile; that is $50 pounds copper wire, or
core, and 400 pounds gutta percha COW
ering or insulator. Up to this summer
no telegraph cable had ever weig he'd
more than 400 pounds copper wire to
the mile. Then came the new Com

and 800 pounds insulator, and now the
new Anglo American cable. weighing
Just 100 pounds copper to the mile more
than any other cable ever laid beneath

MODERN DANCING.

p ernicious Effects Of the Art as

| New York Herald.
| The art of dancing, as practiced by
| the Greeks and Romans. was a useful
form of gymnastics that they held in
great esteem, regarding it rightly as
means eminently suited to develop the
organism. We must confess, however,
that in our times this art has degenerated
and can be called unhealthy in the
great majority of caseS-I say in the
great majority Of cases and not in all,
as dancing in the open air in the day.
time may have decided merits. T his is
never true for balls given in rooms
filled with people, overheated by a
quantity of lights, and with the tmos-
phere thoroughly poisoned by the very
causes without which ball cannot be
brilliant.
1t is scarcely necessary to refer to the
dust of all kinds, to the innumerable
microbes that the dancers send flying
into the air, nor need we speak of the
untimely strain imposed on the organ
ism which, at time when it ought to
be at rest, is, on the contrary, over
excited. What greater mistake than
the midnight supper at which
the most unWnOleSOue InlnSS are
eaten and drunk? The guests bolt
ally heavy and washed down with
strong wines, and this is scarcely over
before the dancing is resumed, against
the most elementary rules of common
sense and hygiene. Nor is this all; 1t
is not only the body alone that is con-
cerned, as the mind has its share in this
fatigue by the vivid emotions produced
by the conversation, music and flowers.

.buoys. instead of boats, as in the
old days-the end was connected
with the testing instruments at
the Office, and connection was estab-
lished between the electricians on shore
and those on board the ship. The tests
were entirely satisfactory. and the
Britannia turned her head toward the
west coast of Ireland, followed IN a
short time by the Scotia. After the
Britannia had paid out the IT'S miles of
''intermediate" cable, one end of the
Scotla's deep sea section was splieed to
it, and the ships went on toward Valen-
tia, near which harbor the other end of
the deep sea cable is buoyed. and after
the Scotia has made the ''fipal Splice"
and the cable has been tested and found
In Perfect Order,
1t will be turned over to the Anglo
American Telegraph company. The
cable was made at Greenwich, near
London, by the old Telegraph Construc-
ton and Maintenance company, and is
considered the finest, as we'll as the
largest, cable ever constructed by that
or any other company. Although many
changes and improvements, have been
made during the past thirty years, nota-
bly, in the gear used iu these cable
ships, for 'paying out'' and picking
up" cable. the form of the cable itself
only in weight is it different
from the older cables. and the greater
speed whicht his weight gives. 1t isnot
yet known what speed may be attained
over this new cable. With the first
cables seven or eight words minute
was considered good speed, and now
from fifteen to twenty can be easily
done; so that 1t Is not unreasonable to
expect from forty to fifty words min
ute when the new cable is in active
service. Since 1878 the duplex system
has been in use on all the long ocean
cables, by which message can be sent
and message received on the same
line at the same time. Then there are
the

Content. and there are four different
weights used instead of three.
Twelve Cables.

There are now twelve telegraph ca-
bles across the Atlantic, and of these
the Anglo-American company owns four
and the Comm ercial Cable company
three.
In 1856 the Atlantic Telegraph COM
pany's share of capital was $3.50, 900,
that being the estimated cost of the
cable between Newfoundland and Ire
land. Now five companies have CAPT.
tai of e12, 800 600 invested In the At
lantlc telegraph trade, and the largest
portion of it belongs to the Ango-
American Telegraph company, which
alone has capital of e7,0O0.00O, and
which represents three of the five com.
panies.
Before the first attempt was made to
lay cable across the Atlantic, there
were hardly three hundred miles of
submarine telegraph cable laid; these
were in the straits between England
and France, and between the east coast
of England and Holland. Today there
are nearly las, 900 miles deep-sea cable
In operation.
Thirty years ago there were not four
cable ships in existence, and now there
are nearly forty, and all of them are
kept fairly busy laying and repairing
cable. During the past thirteen months
the cable ship Britannia has laid about
5000 miles Of cable and completed over
500 miles of repairs; and this is the rec
ord of single ship.
