SPEEDS UNDER SEA MESSAGE DELVERY Western Union Swift Type Cabie Connects U. S. With Southern Europe. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 5.—Trans- niission of transoceanic messages a speed five to eight t e with the laying of American end of 4 new type of sud- marine cable at Roéckaway Beach, long Island. 1t will be the first direct conncction between the United States and southern Europe. Accorcing to announcement of the the line will be laid from ork to Horta in the Azores, to Rome by way of Malaga, a total distance of 5422 land At Horta the new cable also will be connected with another which will be laid from the Azores to Em- den, Germany, re-establishing direct communication. which has been off War. Thus i e 1 southern with Rome n, Yield connected speed in t been gained through im- t of sending and receiving apparatus, but no radical changes in cable service have been made, it is stated. In research conducted since the war experts have found that the “loading” system used in telephone communication is applicable to the lines laid under the sea and experi- ments in deepest waters have proved the practicability of the “loaded” cable, the company reports. Pupin coils. used on long distance telephone ci . were found to be impractical, however. . Bngineers learned that nickel and iron combined under proper condi- ti in the proportion of about 80 per cent nickel and 20 per cent iron formed an alloy which is the most highly magnetic substance vet dis- covered, having, when properly treat- ed, more than 30 times the magnetic vermeability of soft iron. The re- earch was begun on the theory that cable conductor surrounded by this highly maghnetic alloy would carry intelligible signals at a higher rate of speed than had previously been pos- sible. Form of Anplication to Cable. The permalloy is applied to the new cable in the shape of a single ribbon or tape, six-thousandths of an inch thick, one-eighth of an inch wide and @ little more than 10,000 miles long. 1t is wrapped in a spiral around the central copper core or conductor ‘of cable, from one end to the other. able itself, except for the heavi- mored shore ends, is about one inch in diameter. Speed is gained, the announcement of the company says. because the “overlapping” of impulses noted on old cables is eliminated. At a com- paratively low speed of sending, even with the use of the most highly per- fected and sensitive electrical ap- paratus, the signals at the receiving end become at times almost indistin- guishable over the present lines, it rted ew cable, constructed in h, England. by the same y " which built the Atlantic cable in 1866, arrived yesterday om the cable ship Colonia P Prince Erik’s Bride Improves. LOS A S, September 5.—Thu bride of Prince Erik of Denmark, formerly Miss Frances Lois Booth, of Ottawa, Canada, was improved last night, it was announced after a consultation - of physicians at the hospital where she is recuperating from an attack of blood poisoning following extraction of a tooth. She will be able to leave the hospital next week, the physicians said. COUPLE OBSERVE 64TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Harry Boyer Cele- brate More Than Three Score Years of Marriage.
