HIGH-SPEED CABLES.

TRANS-ATLANTIC REVOLUTION.

When the new Transatlantic cable, which the Western Union Telegraph Company intend to lay down between England and America in the summer of 1920, gomes into operation in the autum of that year, it will create a revolution in ocean telegraphy. Instead of a trans. mitting speed of 250 letters a minute-the present normal rate-it is anticipated that

speed of 2,500 letters a minute will be attained. In addition, it will he possible to sub-divide the able into different sections to be used by such widely differ ing organisations as news distributing agencies, Stock Exchange operators, and private concerns. The immediate effect should be a complete eliminatior of tele graphic congestion and a considerable re- duction in telegraphic transmitting rates. The cost of the wow cable is about £1,100,000, and it is being made by the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Co., of Greenwich, who are also buying! the new cable for the Pacific Bourd he tween Vancouver, Island and Fanning Island. It is understood that the Western Union is tetting two of its channels to the Commercial Cable Co. The old cables will remain in use, hut the development that. facilities for transmission across the Atlantic will be more than doubled. It is exported that new high-i speed cables will gradually be laid down by other cable companies. The British Government owns two cubles across the Atlantic, which are not remunerative ia a commercial sense. It is not the present intention of the Post Office nuchorities to follow the example of the Western Union by laying down a new cable for rapid transmission. The coat between England and Canada would be over £1,000,000, hut this would be an economic expenditure from a commercial point of view, as the two Post Office cables will suffer heavily from the new competition.

A scheme of secret wireless is claimed to have been invented, and is to be ex- ploited by an organisation known as Secret Wireless, Ltd., which seeks to compete with the British Broadcasting

Mr. Chisholm claims that the aid of a component attachable to existing wireless receiving seas, crystal or valve, will be essential for the picking up of messages transmitted by his system.

Explaining the new systern to a repres sentative of The Daily Telegraph, Bear- Admiral C. P. R. Coode, European general manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, said is had been brought shout by the utilisation of a particular type of cable, which was operated under a system known as continuous leading The core was wrapped round with narrow tape of a special alloy, which had given wonder ful results in the matter of rapid trasie Malcolm Smith, Mr. P.

Hitherto there had been no radical difference made in cable constraction since the trans-Atlantic cables were originally laid in the 'sixties, and such improvemente as were effected w cre concerned with the instruments operating at each end of the cable. As a result of the employment of the new type of cable the transmitting speed was increased to 1.500 letters a minute, and still further research had enabled the engineers to carry out improvements which, it was anticipated. would enable The new organisation is out frankly to the new trans-Atlantic cable to transmit break down the monopoly enjoyed by the at the rate of 2,500 letters a minute.

Although credit for the invention is elained by the Western Electric Com- pany of America, it is satisfactory to note that the actual construction of the cable from New York to the Azores was en- trusted to an English firm.

The promoters declare that they could broadcast plays which enuld be heard by subscribers.

Mr. P. J. Foru, M.P., explained the principle of the scheme to a Daily News representative by using the analogy of a music chord.

The meeting ananimously passed the following resolution:--
