THE PACIFIC CABLE MADE POSSIBLE.

It has been decided to ron « submarine cable across the Pacific. Why not? the average man will ask. It seems an caly and natural step after running cables across the Atlantic, And, in running the cable as in alterwards maklog it as a matter of fact, the difficulty Hes not so much

"You know," via Professor Thompson," that in long sobmarine lines there is a retardation set up along the cable by Fearon of the insulating cost of gutta-perchs, which becomes electrified or charged by the passage of the current. This surface charge has the eff:ct of delaying messages by preventing the current at the commencement of any signal from rising rapidly to its maximum, and again from rapidly dying out. The cone quence of this is that whereas from 400 to 600 words a minule can be sent over a land fine, the maximum speed on an Atlantic cable is some. days it used to be eight or tea," where about thirty-two words a minuta.

The retardation is due to the electical 'capacity"' of the cable-that is, Its property of retalaing a statle charge, and this is distributed, not at the | endi, but all along the length of the cable, and the greater the length is, and the more perfect the fosslation, the greater is this capacity and the retardation."

The percentages used in 1895 were, approximately, as follow:- Of Indian, $4 per cent. of Ceylon, 35 per cent,; of China, 9 per cent.; and of other kinds, a per cent. For years past the ten-growing industry of the Empire has been threatened with over- production, not only through the areas rapidly brought under cultivation In India, but also owing to the extensions gradually taking place in the recently developed tea industry of Ceylon.
