The central conductor is composed of seven
tine copper wires, twisted iuto one complete
strand, which is insulated with Chattertonh
patent compound. Outside this come tour
distinct layers of ghtta pertha, each also in-
sulated with the material that encloses the
conductor.- Outside the gutta perdue again
are Woehd 11 stone. iron wires, each of Which,
before being twisted on, Is itself cai•efully,
wound:round with ' strands of hemp, soaked
with tar: :Thus; then, there are -no less thar?
25,900 miles of copper wire in the conductor,
about 35;000 miles anon wire in the outside
coverine, and upwards of 400,900 .Miles of
strand e of hemp, more_ than eitough.in all to
go 2 t tirnes round:the' world. The strength
of this cable ie equaled -a stide of seven and
