MORSE SUSTAINED.


One OF His Theories Regarding Copper
Wire Emphasized by Time.
1.-THE telegraph has got back to where 1t
started as a science and revOlutionizcd the
world, " explained "a prominent telegraph
line constructor, ''in the matter Of copper
wire In all of the experiments mado by
Professor Morse, the inventor, as well as
those by Professor Henry, who so ably sec
onded him in developing the science, cop.
per wire was used The day following the
sending of the original message between
this city and Baltimore, What God hath
wrought, the wires broke down, and for
some weeks there was no communication
in an electrical way at least Contraction
and expansion had not been provided for
and as "a result down fell the wires
'All ainds Of excuses were made and all
kinds of methods were used to keep the
wires in working order but they were not
gratifyingly successful The result of the
Investigations then made was that iron
wire was the most reliable taking all the
circumstances and conditions Of temper
ature into consideration, and iron wire
supplanted the copper wire notwithstand-
ing the protest Of Morse One of the
greatest difficulties in the use of iron wire
was the rapidity with which it was cut by
rusting. In 10 years or so this was rem
edled by the process of galvanizing the
wire, which gave 1t twice or three times
its life by preserving the wire from oxida.
tion.
''When the telephone came into extensive
use, even more difficulty was experienced
with iron wire. OF course every one knew
iron wire was not as good a conductor as
copper, but those who had studied the
matter also knew that copper wire would
mora easily break I'm COnSpuupuco of the
oontractions produced by the changes in
temperature The only thing remaining
to be done was to make copper wire |
which would not be so sensitive Co the
weather This was done in tipAe, n,rd TO
