Dawkius, 11on, James Farrow. The Telegraph, Telegrapliing was known and prac ticed as early as 1681. At lea.t it had been brough! to a syst in that early. Bul, it was practiced lang ago, in the earliesta ges. Iut the ir. telegraph ing was simply conveying intelligence by signals. In 1794 an improved system was adopted by the French for communicating from on& 'Part of the army to another. The telegraphihfg thrn was done up on the same general principles adopt ed for the signal corps during our lat< war. This is the optical telegraph, andofe. ain -i ba.aam...-. Toegra-I means literally "vriting afar off." This arL hax been perfect ed by the upplicafion of eletricig. The most wunde-ful application of the telegraph we have lived to see in the Atlantic cable. The mere fact that one message it written from oni- end of that cable t< the other, which A lit.-rally "afar off," shows there is no liti:, to t, distanew upon the earth's surftace over which the telegraphic inessaac may run. Theremay be external causes tocrip ple the permanent success of the At. lantie cable, such as the wire resting upon sharp elevated roeks, and of itq being, by the avitttion of the sea, rock. ed until thie -Ohafing upon those rock. wears through the insulatingw cover. ing. But the~ ind ications now are thai soon the world will be surrounded with a telegraphic wire running froni San -Francisco across the United States to Newfoundland, and on thro the Atlantic to London, and thenet through the Channel to Paris, thence to St. Petersburg, and then,ce f&ir intt Siberia, where the line already ex tends. Britt the Russian Government is preparing to continue their lint through Behring's Straits into Rus sian A merica, and thence down the Pa cific, #east to San Francisco, whicla *111 br'ing thme wire clear round the world.
