PATH OF OCEAN CABLES.

There seems 10 be no logical reason
why cables cannot bc laid across any

tions of the Atlantic cables are three
miles below the surface and this is not
necessarily the extreme depth, for the
cable may and probably does pass
from the top Of one submarine hill TO
another without dropping materially
into the deep valleys between says

known depth Of the sen Is 40,O3G feet,
or 80 miles, found i'm the south At

Tristan da Cunha and the mouth of
the Rio dc la Plata. Soundings have
