entered the ward and the nurse pointed out
the bed, but it was empty. looked at her
and saw she was deadly pale, and fastened
to assure her there was some mistake, as
she would not have been sent from the office
to look for her husband if he had been dead.

was almost miraculous, and one month from

TELEGRAPHING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
Cyrus w. Field said. Al the banq quet which was
given him II New York, on Thursday evening
last, that the old cable which was recovered so
wonderfully few months ago, worked better
than the new one, bat that the latter was i'm
proving every day. The electricians had
made some surprising discoveries in regard to
submarine telegraphing. When the slectrI-
clans originally consulted IN relation TO the
power necessary TO send a message across the
ocean, they thought the battery should have
the force of nash OF lightning. But it was
also thought that such a high charge would
burn out the wires. Smaller and smaller elec :
trio charges had been used, until il was found
that the subtle fiuid acted perfectly when the
power was very delicate. The other day a
message was telegraphed across the ocean and
back with q bate y formed in ladys thimble
Since that time message has been sent across
the water ''by battery formed offs percussion
cap. with strip OF zinc, excited by drop Of
water, the simple bulk Of Q teaT." These facts
show that eubmarin teiegraphing has been
but imperfectly understood, and authorizes a
belief that more wonderful discoveries us jet
to be made.
