On the other hand, a cable by the Northern Route could trans- mit messages at Is. per word, or 150 per cent, less than the Atlantic Telegraph Company. It would offer twelve times more accommodation to the public, and to its proprietors it would pay a most handsome dividend, provide for all working charges, and leave a reserve-fund to provide for the repair or the renewal of any section, should it fail. The reserve-fund itself would replace one section every year. A cable laid containing two or three wires would double the receipts without increasing more than one-third the original expenditure, or increasing considerably the working expenses. Strange things do occur at times, and it is just possible there may be another half-million of money spent on the long route; if so, those who subscribe it would save themselves a vast deal of anxiety if they were to give their money at once to the captain of one of the American mail-steamers to attach to a 64-lb. shot on his next voyage, and throw it overboard half-way across the Atlantic. The only difference between doing this and making a cable with it is that the one occupies longer time than the other, but the termination would be found exactly the same. Construction of Telegraph Cables. If ever a cable is to be carried to America and continue working, it must be in sections, and these sections are only to be obtained on the Northern Route, and a good cable is an absolute necessity : every care and precaution ought to be taken in adopting it. Cheap cables, like everything else cheap, are very dear in the end, and submarine cables are of those things which, if not well done at the outset, had better never be done at all. Upwards of a million of money has been recklessly thrown away on submarine cables, because cheapness has been the object and not a good
