After this it was found necessary to introduce the same system on the portion. from Emden. to Odessa, and, further, the two sections were capable of being cornbit. ed into one, so as toseid the messages with- out repetition from Euden to Teheran. It was next found necessary to do the sarbe in the remaining section, and "finally the samo system was extended to Liverpo and Manchester, so that moss ges are telegraphed direct from these cities to Teheran. The line is thus 4,000 miles long.
While there is no repetition in the ordi- nary way, it may be remarked that it is not a single continuous line from end to end, but there are ten rolky stations, which may be called automatic repeating stations, For batteries at the two ends would be insuffi- cient to carry the messigo all the The
way. principle of the relay is known to all who are acquainted with telegraphy. It acts thus: The line from Enden to Berlin is one wire; with its own batteries; that from Berlin to Warsaw is another. The message' coming from Endon to Berlin passes round the relay, which is essentially an electro magnet, and in so doing attracts a piece of iron, which causes the circuit in the next section Berlin to Warsaw to be completed
