Fastest Cable

furthermore, being attached to the
cable is not as free in its movement
with respect either to speed or course
as an ordinary ship
When engaged in active duty the
Colonia flies the cable sign. This is
an internationally recognized signal
that the ship is engaged in cable lay
ing and must be given a wide berth
by all other craft regardless of their
ordinary rights. This sign, which was
adopted at conference of civilized
powers, consists of two red canvas
globes with a white canvas diamond
between them, hung vertically in the
rigging. The globes are about two
feet in diameter and are hung six feet
apart. BY night the cable sign con-
sists of lanterns hung vertically, red
at top and bottom and white between.
According to international law ships
flying the cable sign are supposed to
be given immunity in time of war.
During the World war, however, the
rights of cable ships disappeared Re
lying on this presumed neutrality one
was fired upon by Submarine during
the early days of the war and badly
damaged. Managing to make tenn
porary repairs, she was limping into
port when again attacked and sunk
During the remainder of the war the
immunity of cable ships was purely
fictitious.
While cables usually function with
out Interruption, careful records of
cable laying are kept so that IL any
breaks occur In the copper strand it
may be picked up for repairs with
minimum of trouble and delay. Gable
Interruptions can usually be traced to
one of several causes. In deep water
far from the shore these Interruptions
are often due to armor decay The

tion fails.
Most Breaks In Shadows.
Mos of the breaks, however, occur
in shallow water near the shore, as
there is little to interfere with the
smooth working of the cable in the
depths of the sea- Near the shore
the cable has a host of enemies both
animate and inanimate. The worst of
these, especially in the warmer waters,
is the toredo, the boring sea worm
against whose ravages ships bottoms
are copied sheathed and wharf piles
are concerted. AS protection against
the toredo the shore ends of cables
have layer of brass tape wound
about them between the gutta percha
insulation and the galvanized sheath
ing wires.
In northern waters icebergs ground
ing on shoals often grind the cables

cable, was hauled up by cable ship

Bill Smith Has strangest Of Many
Strange Ways in Which New
Workers Make Their Money.

New York.-Of the many strange
ways which people have found of max
ing a living in New York city, perhaps
the strangest is that selected by Bill
Smith. Besides being a porter with
the Federal Reserve bank of New
York, Bin is a champion buster, and
confines his activities to gold bullion.
The gold stored in the underground
vaults of the bank must be kept Just
as clean as the floors and Office furni-
ture in other parts of the building.
Accordingly, it is busted whenever the
vaults are opened. This may be every
month, every three months, or even
every six months, depending upon how
fast Uncle, Sam spends his money.
On these occasions it is nothing for
Bill to grasp his trusty buster. step

New Strand Will Have
Speed Rate of $500
Letters a Minute.

New York. Early this summer the
work of laying the worlds fastest"
cable will be started Slipping away
from the stern of the ship Colonia IA
copper strand $500 nautical miles
long viii drop to the bed of the ocean
to lie in the perpetual darkness of the
depths. BY the end of summer all of
it will be In place. The shore ends
will then be connected and another
line of communication will have been
established between the old world and
the new.
The new line, which will afford di-
rect communication between New
York and London, and will be the
twentieth transatlantic cable, will
have a speed of $500 letters per min
ute. 1t will be eight times as fast as
any cable now connecting these two
points and considerably faster than
the copper strand connecting New
York with the Azores, which at pres
ent possesses the distinction of being
the worlds fastest cable.
Like the New York-Azores cable the
new one will be sheathed in a wrap
ping of permalloy. This is new
metal whose discovery was the result
of the growing demand for speed and
more speed in transatlantic communi-
cation. AS the telegraph companies
had long been using automatic devices
for sending and receiving messages,
the attention of cable engineers was
turned to the possibility of improving
the cable itself. This resulted In the
discovery of permalloy, and made pos
sib1e the new and improved lines.
Permaiioy is an alloy of iron and
nickel. Under certain conditions it
has magnetic permeability many
times that of any other known sub
stance. In the form of a continuous
strip Of metal one-eighth of an inch
wide and six-thousandths of an inch
thick the permalloy is wrapped around
the $500 nautical miles of the copper
conductor of the cable This prevents
the leakage of current common to the
older types of cable and gives the new
line of communication its great speed.
While it is not strictly accurate, cleo
trically speaking, to state that the
permalloy wrapping increases the
speed with which the impulses pass
from one end to the other, 1t makes
possible, however, the sending of such
sharply defined signals that the in

1t was evident that the animals death
struggle had parted the cable. At an
other time the story of what happened
to the insulation was told by tne find
ing of a sharks tooth embedded in the
cables covering. Closer in shore
cables are often caught by the travis
of fishing boats, which drag the ocean
bottom to depth of 1,200 feet or
more. The first international cable
laid from Dover, England, to Calais
France, was picked up by fisherman
who thought he had caught new
kind of eel.
To grapple for broken cable in the
depths would seem an almost hope
less task; yet so carefully are the
records kept, showing the exact posi-
ton of every mile Of the cable, and
so expert have the cable layers be-
come. that it is an everyday job to
pick up a particular section of cable
in depth of two or three miles. The
job is always accomplished, although
sometimes with difficulties multiplied

Problems of Repair.
Sometimes in the course of laying a
cable, more often when cable repairs
are under way, the cable ship is
obliged to cut loose and run before
the storm for safety. Cable laying is
pla I'D in advance for seasons when
fa kather may be reasonably ex-
PISS Acable repairs have to be made
wolAsNief break occurs, which is more
m AetM tnan mot to be in midwinter.
The cable ship is always prepared to
cut the cable and attach buoy to the
severed end, to be picked up again
when conditions permit. Throughout
the voyage buoys are kept ready, slung
in the rigging above the upper deck,
with the buoy lines-two or three
miles of rope-coiled where they can
be used with the least delay.
When break occurs in cable 1t
Is possible to tell from the shore by
electrical measurements and calcula-
lions how far from either end the
trouble lies. A cable ship then hur-
ries to the spot which is clearly indi-
Gated on the chart made when the
cable was laid or last repaired.
Having arrived at the place where
the cable is to be picked up the cable
ship puts over an anchored buoy to
mark the point of departure. 1t then
steams back and forth across the line
of cable dragging a grapnel which re-
sembles a five-pronged anchor over
the sea floor. In shallow water an
ordinary grapnel is used. For depths
of a mile or more a special form of
grapnel has been devised which, when
it hooks the cable, cuts it in two and
holds one of the severed ends tightly.
1t is simple matter, once the cable
has been hooked, to splice in a new
section and then haul up the other
end and splice that on.

Button Gwinnett, Signer

Twenty-Five thousand five hundred
dollars was the price paid recently for
an autograph of Button Gwinnett, one
of the three Georgia signers of the
Declaration of Independence, which
will be commemorated by the Sesqui-
Centennial International Exposition
from June l to December 1. His auto
graph is said to be the rarest of any
of the fifty-six signers.
Gwinnett, the son of minister, was
born in England in 1882. He received
good education and was not litter
ate as is commonly supposed. He en-
igrated to America and settled in Sa-
vannah in 1775. Here he became a sue
cessful business man and planter. He
purchased plantation ON st. Gather
ines Island, off the coast of Georgia,
procured a number of negro slaves,
and gave his attention to agriculture.
Previous to ITS, Gwinnett had not
taken an active part in politics, but
the subsequent enthusiasm with which
he maintained Colonial rights attract
cd the attention of his fellow citizens.
At meeting Of the Provincial Assem-
bly, held in Savannah in January, 1776,
he was appointed a representative in
Congress, signed the Declaration, and
IN October was reelected for the ensu-
ing year.
In February, 1777, he was appointed
