Protecting an Atlantic Gable.

The "core" is now finished. But as
It now stands it is in no wise fitted to
meet the shocks that await it at the bot
tom Of the sea. 1t must be protected
against the chatting Of sands and rocks
and the possible wrenches of anchors.
This protection lies in sheath of steel
wires, separated from the soft gutta
percha of the core by packing Of jute.
The jute is spun about the core exactly
as the II copper wires of the conductor
are spun about Il central wire, and about
all, finally, is spun the steel sheathipg
in the same fashion.
AS one goes about among the spinning
machines he notices that the sections of
steel sheathing vary much in thickness
Here is one woven Of "a wires, one of 10
and one Of IL. And the wires also vary,
SO that the section of fewest wires is the
largest in diameter. Here is a section
made not of single wires at all, but Of
stands of three wires. In fact, one sees
seven different varieties The occasion
for such diversity is this: In the middle
Of the Atlantic u cable is dropped to n
depth of two or three statute miles, and
as it is payed out to such depth it
must have a great burden to sustain in
its own weight. To make the weight as
little as possible consistent with need
full quality and strength becomes, there
fore, important. The deeper cable is
laid the less its liability to disturbance,
and the deep water sections, therefore,
may be made much lighter than the
shallow water sections. AS the cable
draws nearer the shore, where the dan
gers grow greater, u heavier and heavier
sheathing is adopted, until, in what is
known as the "shore end," comes the
heaviest Of all--zMcClure's Magazine.
