MARINE CABLES.
Odd Ideas That at First Prevailed
About Laying Them.

When it was first proposed to lay
q marine cable, many intelligent
people said it would not sink to the
bottom, but would remain suspend
ed at certain depth because of the
density of the water due to pressure
from above. Of course the pressure
increases with the depth on all sides
of the cable in its descent through
the sea, but as practically every
thing on earth is more comprehensi-
BILE than water it is obvious that the
iron wire, yarn, gutta percha and
copper conductor forming the cable
must be more and more compressed
as they descend. Thus the cable
constantly increases in density, or
specific gravity, in going down,
while the equal bulk of water sur
rounding it continues to have, prac-
tically speaking, very nearly the
same specific gravity as at the sur
face. Without this valuable prop
erty OF water the hydraulic press
would not exist.
Some of the most distinguished
naval men have made the blunder
that is mentioned above. Even at
comparatively recent period Cap
tain Marryat of the British navy,
the celebrated nautical author,
wrote in one of his novels: "What
a mine of wealth must lie buried in
the sands! What riches lie entan-
gled among its rocks or remain sus-
pended IN the unfathomable gulf
where the compressed fluid is equal
IN gravity to that which it encir-
cles -
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
posed difficulty it was gravely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at
a gwen maximum depth between
buoys and floats, or even para
chutes, at which ships should call,
hook on and send messages to the
shore. Others proposed to apply
gummed cotton to the cable, set it
atioat and leave the gum to dissolve
and "let the cable down quietly"

TO the senior partner tor twenty
minutes at a rate that almost gave
the Londoner heart failure. Next
day he came again and in thirty
minutes had closed a deal that
meant good many thousand
pounds year to the London firm
and on Saturday was on the ocean
again bound for New York, leaving
the partners in a daze, which was
dispelled only by contemplating the
signature on the paper.
To us the wonder would be, not
how he finished his business so soon,
but what he did with all that time
between Thursday and Saturday.
