TAPELINE 1.264 miles long, stretching continuously from Newfoundland to the Azores, and giving an accurate meaaure of the distance travelled, was reeled out from the cable steamer recently while the world's fastest submarine cable was being This tapelioe, which was laid. really a fins steel piano wire, bad nothing whatever to do with the telegraph cable which was passing over the stern sheaves at the same time. The wire was merely for the purpose of checking the distance travelled by the ship, and expensive as tbs method may seem, It is the only accurate means yet developed for registering accurately the peed and mileage of a vessel. The wire could Just as readily have been 4,000 miles long, bed such a distance been travelled by the "Domlnla." The mileage from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, to Horta, on the Island of Fayal. Azores, waa only 1.264, however, so Just that many miles of wire were left in the ocean. The occasion for the measurement was the laying of a new type bf cable for the Western Union Telegraph Company, which by reason of Its peculiar and revolutionary construction made It Important that the amount laid bo as close as possible to the 1.S41 nautical miles specified by the engineers. Any greater length would have upset seriously the calculations of the engineers- - and would have made operation at the desired message speed quite problematical. The length of the cable had been pre determined by the contour of the sea bottom over the route that had been surveyed by the engineers.
