7 One Of the largest and most
Unique submarine telephone cables

lot manufacture at the Western
Electric Company's Hawthorne
Works in Chicago.
This cable is designed to bridge
the gap in the land route Of the
Sacramento San Francisco toll line
'of the Pacific Bell Telephone Com
.pany where the bay separates San
francisco from Oakland. At that
point the aerial cable that comprises
most of this communication artery
~ broken by water gap Of about
hive miles. The distance is divided
into two separate stretches, how.
ever, by Goat Island, a small island
IN the bay, lying about halt way
between the shores.
When plans for this fine were
being prepared by telephone engi-.
neers, the presence of. this island
suggested a convenient means OF
loading the armored cable which
was to be used. Loading means the
insertion of special inductance coils
at proper intervals to improve the
transmission efficiency of the cable

that It be made and delivered as
soon as possible to take its place in
the line with the aerial cable, which
had been made and installed while
experiments on the new type sub.
marine cable were still under way.
The number of conductors in the
toll lines is so great that it will be
necessary to run several parallel
armored cables across the bay to
accommodate the necessary number
of circuits. The special construc-
ton. of these cables and the care
that is needed to insure the proper
capacitance make their manufacture

Variation between them in the

Things You Should Know
scIAT1c NEUR1TIs.

Sciatic neuritis is, of course,
limited to the sciatic nerve. 1t is
often overwhelmingly painful. There
is no swelling. Lameness is pro-
nounced. Fever is absent in the
majority Of cases. Absolute rest
is the best treatment, though other
measures may go along with bene-
fit. l find it very difficult to con-
vince these people that they do not
have rheumatism. Old-time physi-
clans indeed, used to pronounce
this disease "sciatic rheumatism"
when conditions were not under
stood as they are now. An aged
physician was one of the worst
sufferers that / have ever seen.
Medicines for rheumatism were ap-
solute failures in his case. A
plaster-paris cast which enforced
absolute rest for two weeks cured
him-without drop of medicine!
Rheumatism, so-called, is an in
flammation of the joints. 1t is char
acterized by swelling, pain, limited
motion, and fever in acute stages.
The correct term is arthritis. Rheu-
matism is an obsolete name, or
should be. Neuritis is an entirely
different proposition, and requires
entirely different treatment. Blood
disorders and germs cause arthritis.
Injuries, over-use, strains, and dis
ease of adjacent organs cause neu- !!
ritis. A rectal ulcer may cause
sciatic neuritis, which treatment Of
the ulcer cures promptly. Women
have sciatic neuritis from causes
that escape notice, often the physi-
clan himself fails to locate the
source. A bit Of reflection ought
to convince any one Of the futility
of using medicines for rheumatism
in such cases.
