To Ulk by telphon from New York
to London. St Petersburg. Peklnr. Bom
bay, Melbourne. Cap Town, Valparaiso
or any other city that can now be reached
by cable- telegraph, will bo as easy within
a few yeara ai It Is now to talk with
Montreal, Chicago or Baltimore. OIe
me the um of a cable and I will attach
an Instrument to It that will enable you
to do It today."
Fo ay Dr. Gluseppl Musso, an elec
trical engineer and inventor, who has
spent J9O.0OO and eleven yeara of hla life
in perfecting- the Instrument that Is to
work thla revoluUon. He Is positive lie
ran prove It Tn his laboratory at M
Maiden lane, New York, Dr. Musso has
an "artificial cable," a gigantic Instru
ment that represents warily S.O0O mile
of such cable as Is used for transmitting
'messages under the ocean, and to this he
attache tho Instrument he has Invented.
You bo Into a telephone booth In a room
and someone else joes Into a similar
booth In an adjoining room. The phones
In thesa booths are connected by this
"artificial cabla" and you can talk with
each other as freely as It you were tele
phoning from one part of St. Louis to
another. The "artificial cable" has been
arefully tested hy the electrical testing
laboratory and pronounced by their ex
pert to b equivalent to 3,X) miles o
cabla,
Vrent Telephone Distance.
. It is practical now to telephone about
1,009 miles, but thla Is over an open wire
and not over a cable. Few persons who
are not electricians know that there Is
n great difference between open wire and
cable telephoning; or telegraphing;. The
open wire circuits run overhead and are
usually aet on poles, Their wires are
bar and are sustained on glass or porcr.
lain insulators to prevent the electric
current from leaking: out and passing to
the srround by way of th poles. The
cabla' circuit are wires covered with In
sulating material and twisted together
to form a, rope, which Is wrapped over
again with insulating material for ex
ternal protection. Cables nro sometimes
stretched overhead, but mora generally
are laid underground or under water. In
th coaa of crossing; the ocean It Is, of
cdtine, Impossible to use anything else
but cablet.
When an electric current Is sent Into
them these wires that are assembled to
form the cables behave very differently
from the open wire. To understand this
difference In behavior It Is necessary to
use two technical term: Resistance and
electrostatic capacity. If you want to
"know exactly what these mean look them
wp In an electrical handbook; there Is no
pace to espial n .them here; suffice It tb
sy that resistance I measured in ohms
.rtd electroslaUo capacity in microfar
ad. Now, every electrical circuit haa both
resistance and electrostatic capacity. If
we could eliminate either one of these
long distance telephony would now be
ancient history. But they both are pres
ent simultaneously, combined and dis
tributed along the whole line. "We say
that a certain telephone circuit has so
many ohms resist ncc and so many mi
crofarad capacity per mile. It Is Just
here that the dlffioutly of telephoning to
a long distance arise. For, although
these force are uniformly distributed
over the wire forming a circuit, the diffi
culty Increase not In numerical propor
tion to the length of the wire, but In
geometrical proportion, for example
this dlflculty may be four time a great
In one wire a in one of half Its length.
Imagine two telephone circuit exactly
the same length, made of the same kind
and else of wire, but one of them "open,"
the other inclosed in a cable laid under
ground; the resistance of one Is exactly
the same a that of, the other, but the
electroatatlo capacity of the wire in tho
table is much greater than that of tho
open wire, perhaps ten times a great.
Yet the wires are exactly the same. To
what, then. Is the difference due? It I
the Insulating material around the cable
wire that so greatly Increases its electro
atatio capacity. To give a general Ideu
of the amount of this difference It may
be said tbs the efficiency of a mile of
standard cable wire circuit I equal to the
efficiency of fourteen mile of standard
open overhead wire line. It Is this fact
that makes SiO mile the limit within
which it I possble to telephone satisfac
torily over a. cable, while with open
wires It is easr to telephone uo to 100
miles, and up to 1,000 miles with he t y )
wire and the addition of certain lntensl-
Tying Instruments. j
Experiments with open wires have s-1
tabllshed the possibility of telephoning up
to MX0 miles, but it Is still doubtful if a
commercial service could be made profit
able at such a. distance, for It Is necessary
to use wire four time a heavy wire
weighing 870 pound per loop mile, for
example and to add many "loading colls"
to Us these latter being expensive to In-,
stall and to maintain. Moreover, these j
experiments are possible only by the use )
of whet electricians call a "phantom ,
circuit," that is to say, a third circuit
made out of two complete circuits, in
other 'words, two lines (four wires) must
be used to do the. work of one line (two
wires).
Thirty miles is the present limit of
telephoning over a submarine cable, be
cause under the sea It Is not possible to
use such a heavy wire or to add "loading
colls" at frequent Intervals. No wonder,
then, that the engineers have almost
given up trying to solve the problem of
telephoning under the Atlantic, whero 3,000
mlls of cable must be used.
Dr. Musso, however, realising that the
limit of improving the line had been
reached, determined to try to Improve the
current. He Imagined the electrostatlo
capacity neutralized by a current specially
prepared beforehand for this specific pur
pose, and he set about to find the means
of treating the current to produce this
effect The result I the apparatus for
which three patents have been granted by
the United States patent offlce.-New
York World.
