The telephone cattle is a develop-
ment , of the loaded permalloy cable.
The 'cable will be leaded With a series
of alloys, which combined are giveu
the name et "peeraincer,' meaning
that its permeability is not variable.
It Is insulated, not with guttapertha,
but with a new dieletric material
"paragutta."

munication under the sea, the new
cable wileetick as long as poseible to

From Newfoundland it will jump
1,800 miles to a email' place called
French Port, in Mayo. It will then be
carried through Northetu
across the shortest sea route to Straw
raer, o.nd on to Glasgow, where it will
link up with the main trunk line to
London..
This sounds as if it were a Mg
time journey, but the system wilt
work ae quickly AS the ordinary twit

The secret of seethes is due to
coanteracting fading, an the ordinary
ttunk land line the voice has to be
amused at repeater etations every

preserve the Sounds over a distance
of 1,800 miles but it 'will be a Very

The cable will be shielded for a hun-
dred miles from the shore to safe-
guard it against land , disturbances,
and then will be picked -up and ampli-
fied, by the repeater station.
