Preparations ard the ‘Great Easte ern’’—Scientific Test. The London Telegraph, of May 23, has the following interesting account of the prepara- tions om board the Great Eastern for laying the Ocean telegraph cable: Differences Between 1858 21865, A visit was paid to the Great tern a few days since by a the directors” P of friends, and it may. Baainst all who under- stood fe Peper ions which they saw cam@ away with a greatly strengthened confidence in the future of the new cable. Since 195%, when the first Atlantic Line was laid, the ad- vence that has been made by the scientifie world towards comprehending electrical phe- nomena is very great. It has been said, by a man well qualified to speak on the subject, that electric science has pasced, since that time, from its childhood to its maturity. So far asthe phenomena con- nected with long electric circuits were cone cerned, we had in 1555 no knowledge what- ever, The instruments in common use were unsuited to receiving signals throngh a great length of cable; the necessity of providing for the conductor an insulation so perfect as ta aire an bcerahtd Cu was inade-— mately appreciated. The t pecttnitn test fora pte cable had not been devised, ane the old Atlantic telegraph was laid without having been subjected to any searching test om shore. Everybody had advice to give con- cerning the management of the wire, bat no one recommended the precantions which sub- sequent experience has shown to be necessa- ry. When the signals began to fail the battery power was augmented, and electro-magnetic induction colle, which rapidly helped on the destruction of the conductor, were put in cir- cuit. Noone thought of “nursing” the cable, of humoring its feeble attempts at articulate utterance, and of finding out what it said rather by listening acutely than by constantly calling on it, in the ssp tery of the Victoria gallery, to ‘Speak up.” 6 old cable, how- ever, is dead and gone. Part of It has beew picked up and applied to ignoble uses, as & Tace-horse past his work may be put into the shafts of a hansom. Part of it has been aban— doned, and lies where it may rest till the end of time, in the “dark, unfathomed caves” of tke deep sea. Let us turn to the practicaR present. Scenes on Board the ‘‘Great Eastern.’? ‘The Great Eastern looks just now more like an engineer’s workship than a sea going ship. The vast expanses of her deck are covered with wooden sheds and piles of timber. There are smith’s forges below, and between the decks you might fancy yourself in a ma- chinist’s factory. The great engines of tha ship, it is true, have lost the bright look of machinery which is in constant use; and the huge dull masses of iron seem asleep, or in & trance. It you descend the ladders which lead to the boilers and furnaces, an expedi- tion which 1s more like going down a mine than any other to which it can be com you find yourself in the midstof dar 5 solitude and cold; but in those regions of the vessel where the cable is being shipped and watched, there isevery sign of keen, vigilant intelligence.

The Scientific Tests. 1t seems im: ible that there can be any fault in the ‘Atlantic cable when the Great Eastern goes to sea. To say nothing of tha tests applied to it at theman tory, it is test< ed not alone after it has been taken on board, but during its delivery into the ship. As soom asa Jength is brought alongside, one end is connected with the coils aireed 708 board, and and the other end with the instruments in the testing room. The circuit is thus made througiz the whole extent of the coil, the ‘tion om board and the p portion alongside. qoomes of hauling in then commences, and the insula- tion continuously observed. The instruments in the testing room record the smallest devine tion trom absolutely perfectinsulation. It wilk be understood that an insulation which sball be quite J tee as an electrician understands the word, is not attainable. A piece of metak eeparated by means of the pare glass and in- closed in the driest atmosphere that can be ob- tsined, will, it charged with electricity, lose that electricity after atime. In speaking of insulation we must therefore be understood to mean an approximate condition. Bat theap- proximation in the case of thenew Atlantic cable comes so near to perfection that this rough tarry rope is a scientific wonder. The last dying pulsation of the old Atlanti¢ cable was forced through it by means of a gal- yanic battery, consisting of two hundred and forty cells. The submarine telegraph frone London to Amsterdam is habitually worked with a battery of fifty cells, and such a battery is commonly need for the other submarine lines of Europe. Signals have been repeatedly sent through more than thirteen hunared miles of the cable now on board the Great Eastern by means of one cell. Galvanic currents so feebla that they could not have been felt a4 the hands and might have been passed jessly through a circuit completed by the operator's tongue, can be used to convey messages Along & length of cable that would very nearly stretch from London to St. Petersburg. Over needle instruments,such as those in ord! uee for land tebegrevhy: acurrent fromone would be powerless. record such faint pulsations of ea Sead itis necessary to use Professor Thom! s mizror galvanometer.

On the back of this mirror 8 minute magnet is fixed, and thus supplemented itis s7~eide@ by aan fibre int heart of @ eoil of wire, 80 apy current passing through the coi deflects the magnet and the mirror along with it, A ray of light refiected by the mirror falls on a scale, distant about 18 or 20 ini and reveals its faintest movements. Differentcome binations of these movements represent the different letters of the alphabet, and thus the apparently erratic wanderings ofa ray of light are made to convey intelligence. An instru- ment of this kind is constantly used to test the cable as it is hauled on board; and if any fault. nad existed it could not have passed without detection. Up to this time, when they are orm board the ship and alongside 1.970 miles of cable, no fault has been discovered. The Immersion.
