Less than a hundred miles of cable had been laid when the electricians discovered a fault in the cable. The Great Eastern was stopped, the course was retraced, and the cable picked up until the fault was reached. It was found that a piece of iron wire had in some way pierced the cable so that the insulation was ruined. This was repaired and the work of laying was again commenced.
How far this is practicable it is at present impossible to say, but at any rate the idea represents a step in the right direction, and if the electricians can follow the example of the gas manufacturers and obtain a revenue from the residuals of galvanic batteries, they will greatly improve their commercial position.
C.F. Varley represented the Atlantic Telegraph Company as electricians and scientific advisers. Mr. Samuel Canning was engineer in charge for the contractors. Mr. Field was also on board. It was on July 23, 1865, that the expedition started from the Irish coast, where the eastern end of the cable had been landed.
In other departments much more rapid progress has been achieved, and the results are already remarkable. Indians do excellent work as machinists, cranemen, electricians, etc., and even in the rolling-mills they do all the manual work. The best of them make reliable gangers and foremen.
"Until the apparatus arrives from New York there won't be much he can do, so you better take the chance to go home and see your mother to-night both of you. By to-morrow or the next day at the latest the electricians should be here with their stuff. Then things will hum!" With a jaunty wave of his hand Mr. Crowninshield wheeled about and Bob and Walter were left alone. The joy of Mrs.
Nothing can be more desirable than that the societies of electricians of all countries shall continue the study of these questions with the desire of coming to a common understanding through a mutual sacrifice of certain preferences and habitudes.

"There's lots of game, I'm told, in Newfoundland," said one of the youthful electricians, whose ruling passion next to the subtle fluid was the gun. "So I've been told," replied an elder and graver comrade. "Polar bears are quite common in the woods, and it is said that walrus are fond of roosting in the trees."
His first letter was full of accounts of the far-reaching work of his expedition the engaging of engineers, electricians, geologists and masons, and the shipping of great stores of wireless apparatus for his spirits seemed to be high, and life was full of good things for him.
Several electricians have proposed ingenious portable apparatus for this purpose, and, among these, Mr. A. Gerard, whose device we illustrate herewith. In this system the electric generator is stationary, and remains outside the building. This, along with all the rest of the apparatus, is mounted upon a carriage.
He planned to open in mid-September, but a strike among the carpenters added a few days to the time, and, by virtue of a compromise, a few dollars to the account. The building inspector wouldn't pass the wiring, and the electricians took a holiday before they condescended to return.
