HN" OCEAN CABLE DIF- AO W FERS FROM TELE-

dOW FERs FROM TELE- GRAPH LINE.-Although an ocean cable is in fact a telegraph line, it is so differently construct ed that the rules for working land lines are almost entirely dis similar. With the first long cables, great difficulties were encounter ed in sending through them a current of electricity of sufficient power to record the messages rapidly. The methods for over coming these difficulties, and in use at present, are described as follows: z-S
 Keys which, when depressed, transmit positive and negative currents, are employed at the sending station in connection with the regulation battery. The current of the battery does not pass directly into the cable, but into a condenser, which passes it into the submarine line.
 This greatly increases the force of the current used and serves to cut of interfering ground currents.
 The instrument first employed in receiving cablegrams was a refecting galvanometer. Upon the magnet of this instrument is carried a small curved mirror. A lamp is placed before the mir TOT and behind a screen in which there is a vertical slit. Flashes of light moving across this slit as the needles moved from left to right, indicated to the trained eyes of the operator the letters in the message being trans mittei.
 But this method of recording messages was found to tax the eyesight of the operator severe ly, a few years work often rem dering them almost, if not total ly blind. Recognizing the fact that there must be something wrong with such a system, in- ventors set about repairing the defect, which resulted in perfect ing the syphon galvanometer, which has all but superseded all other receiving devices.
