cRlDDLED Win CABLES.
This Whole World is Nov Linked by Sui
marine Wires.

LONDON, April EFF all goes we'll, the
speed Of cabling across the Atlantic will I've
increased this year from ~ words per min
lite to about q words per minute The
Au2lo-American Gable company will lay
rev Atlantic cable this spring. and the
weight Of its COPPER core will be about go
pounds per nautical mile. Hitherto the
copper cores Of the Atlantic cable have
weighed only 40 pounds per mile. al the
great ocean cables are composite ropes of
metal, rubber and what not, several inches
thick, but the soul Of the thing is a twisted
copper wire, usually of five strands, tile
whole only little over quarter of AN inch
In diameter. All the rest is mere clothing.
so to speak. insulation to protect the vital
current from contact with other electrical
conductors, trmOr 10 protect the thin cop
per wire from damage by accidents Of the
deep The rate Of cabling, the number of
words that can be sent frona continent to
continent in minute, depends largely upon
the thickness Of the copper wire, and the
core OF the proposed new cable is to be
thicker almost by one-half than the cores
Of other Atlantic cables.
The longest line Of cable communication
now open il ordinarily covered in two hours.
II was covered in one hour in the notable
case Of a cablegram from Australia to New
York announcing the hanging Of MUIR
derer Tine distance by cable and land lines
from New York to Nelson, New Zealand, is
about u, 800 miles, and Of this all but about
300 miles is cable. Communication be
tween the two points Is easily made in two
hours But for the necessary repetitions it
could be to ali intents and purposes instan-
taneous. The course of dispatch from
New York TO Nelson is this: New York to
Canso, Nova Scotia; to Penzance, Eng
land; to Lisbon, to Gibraltar; to the is
land Of Malta, in the Mediterranean; to
Alexandria; to Suez, Egypt; to Alden, Ara
bia; to Bombay, to Madras; to Penang, in
the Malay peninsula; to Singapore, at the
southern extremity Of the peninsula; to
Batavia, on the island of Java; to Banjoc-
wangy on Bali or Little Java; thence to
Port Darwin, on the northern coast of Aus
tralia; thence to Sydney via Adelaide, and
thence to Nelson. The line from Bombay
to Madras crosses India, and that from Port
Darwin to Sydney crosses Australia. These
are the only long stretches of land lines
Great Britain is the cable center Of the
globe. From the coast of England cables
radiatc to all parts Of the world. A dis
patch going east or west may be arrested at
the landing place in Great Britain and
switched in whatever direction seems best
As n matter of fact there are many disturb
ances and Interruptions in cabling, and
there are three or four ways of reaching
Australia and New Zealand from England
Ii the break in the circuit lie between Glib
raltar and Alden, the dispatch may be sent
around the Cape Of Good Hope up the east
coast Of Africa to Alden and thence as usu-

al. If the interruption lie between Alden
and Singapore, tho dispatch coming cast
ward from America may be sent across
Great Britain: thence across the North sea
to the continent of Europe and by several
short lines to st. Petersburg; thence by way
of the great transsiberian land line, the
longest telegraph line in the world, to
NladivostOk. on the east coast of Siberia;
thence by cable to Nagasok, Japan; to Gut
sloif, China; to Shanghai, to Annoy. to Foo
Choo, to Hong kong, to Saigon, to Singa-
pore, and thence as before.
Africa is the only one of the earth's land
divisions that has been fully girdled with
submarine cables. 1t is possible to send n
message all round Africa in two or three
hours and to reach almost any important
point on the coast of Africa from Great
Britain in considerably less time. The cd
itor Of small daily paper in the United
States once complained that he received
news from Alexandria more promptly than
from some points in his own state not 50
miles from his Office.
South Ameiicais amply supplied with ca
BILE communications as far south as Maldo-
nado, mt the mouth of the Rio de In Plata,
on the east, and Porto Monti, Chilli, on the
west. A good 1000 miles southwark to
communication. Land lines connect the
east and west coasts, so that with the aid
of these lines it is possible to cable round
all of South America that is civilized.
The one important gap in the worlds ca
bic communications is the Pacific ocean,
and that gap will soon he filled. The long
delay in laying Pacific cable is not, as
many persons suppose, because the line
must be longer than any hitherto laid, but
chiefly because business has not thus far
demanded thc opening of this line of COM
munication.
The longest unbroken cable lines in the
world are those between Europe and Amer
lea, and they will remain the longest, even
after the Pacific cable shall have been laid
The Direct Gable company's line is 356l
knots; the french line. from St. Pierre
Miqueton TO Brest, 2,sls knots. and tine
Western Union Anglo-American cable be
tween PenZauce and Canso ESQ knots.
These are the worlds longest cables. The
first link of Che Pacific cable has recently
been laid from Queensland, Australia, to
New Caledonia, distance of 40 knots.
The other probable links are New Caledo-
MIA to Fiji, $40 knots; Fiji to Samoa, Goo
knots; Samoa to Hawaii via Tanning Is
land, 2,259 knots; Hawaii TO Vancouver,
about 1915 knots, or to San Francisco, 2,2i1
knots. Thus the Pacific cable would have
two long reaches, neither, however, rs long
