Elrat Atlantic Cable,

The joining Of Europe and America
by means of the Atlantic cable was
completed by the laying down Of 1850
miles OF wire from Valentia In Ireland
to Newfoundland on August 8, 1858.
The FIRST two messages were from
Queen Victoria to the president Of the
United States and his reply. The
event caused great rejoicing in both
countries. but, unfortunately, the in
sulation of the wire became faulty,
and after 271 messages had been sent
and received the cable ceased work
ing. This occurred on September 4,
1860. A new cable was constructed,
and the Great Eastern sailed with
It from the Midway, on June 30. 1866.
The shore end at Valencia was spliced
with the main cable and the Great
Eastern sailed on July Is. The cable
was completely laid to Hearts Con-
tent, Newfoundland, and . message
sent to Lord Stanley on July n, and
on the following day the queen sent
the following message to the presi-

HAS NEW DIVING APPARATUS
Frsnchman's Invention 10 Exceedingly
Simple, but Authorities Are
Pleased With lee Working.

TO walk into and under water with
ono end Of the source Of air supply
clutched In the mouth rs dog
clutches bone, WAS an experiment
carried out recently by an ex-sailor Of
the French navy In demonstrating the
simplicity OF diving apparatus he
has invented.
The apparatus consists merely Of =
tube fixed at the mouth Of the diver
by means OF a rubber band which COW
ers the lower part OF the face and
passes around the head, q small rub
Der hose OF any desired length, and
An air pump Of the type used to in
flate automobile tires. Teeth grips are
provided to help keep the tube in the
proper position in the mouth. f9,
With this simple apparatus, the In
ventor, dressed In an ordinary bathing
suit, entered the River Seine, In
Paris, and walked out along it's bot
tom, remaining under water ten min
utes. BY the bubbles, caused by his
breathing, his course along the river
bed was followed, the government ON
cials witnessing the experiment.
The automatic pump kept the diver
supplied with the necessary volume OF
air, and the test was declared a sue
cess from every point of view. So far.
the trials have not been made In very
deep water.
