ten in room; men, women and chill

ment. Children are playing in our

young people whose downfall is due

A OF a submarine cable would prob

who has been engaged in the opera

cAbIeship Of most improved type

1t long ago became evident that,
If submarine communication was to
become a reliable medium, Some
means must be found to circumvcnt
these creatures. Accordingly, scien-
lists set to work 10 figure out a
cable that would be insect proof and
also strong enough TO resist the at
tacks of the cables larger enemies.
The result of their work is the cable
OF today.
A modern submarine cable is de-
signed 10 meet the exacting condi-
tons that are found at the bottom OF
the ocean. The copper conductor is
encased in a protective cushion Of
gutta percha; this, in turn, is wound
with heavy steel wire to add further
protection and give the necessary
weight and tensile strength around
this is more gutta percha and then
comes an outside covering Of jutc. ,
waterproof substance. Thus protect
ed. the cable is both insect and
shark proof.
