Cable Jofnterm.

Cable jointers are clever specialists who work for telegraphic engineers and contract in the memorandum of agreement to go anywhere. They are employed on the ships of the ocean tel egraph companies, and their duty Is to make spices and joints in the cables which are dragged up from the sea for repairs. To those who are not initiated this would seem to be fairly easy work, but 1t really requires great skill and takes years to learn. Few are aware how liable to damage undersea cables are. In the case of some of the old lines there Is scarcely mile of the ca- ble that has not one or more joints in 1t.
 Expert engineers can determine in a length of thousands of miles to within a few feet where break in a cable is, the telegraph ship proceeds to the spot, which Is indicated by buoy; the dam- aged length of cable Is dragged up, and the jointers proceed to cut out the fault and deftly splice the cable. The slightest mistake, tiny air bubble, in the relocated india rubber would spoil the insulation. That would mean that the cable would fail to transmit mes- that a ship, with all its high priced scientific staff, would have to steam hundreds or perhaps thousands of miles to pick up the cable again.-New York Sun.
