Magnetic TeIegraph-Across the Atiaasic.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune:


see that Prot. Locke of Cincinnati hzs suggest
ed the of pipe to sound the letters, instead of
marking Them, in connection with Prof. Mo.se's
Telegraph. Prof. Locke is nc doubt original,
but not the first 6iscove.er. In matters Of much
greater difficulty this multaneous discoveries are
probably frequently 1e than is imagined On the
llh Of June 1874 addressed Professor Morse letter Of
which the following Is an extract:


Ins,ead of writing down and using the eye coud
you hot 30 better with sound and the use OF the ear All
that would be required would be sounds of tiere lenzs
This could be effected by single organ pipe struck oT
hammer. So ong as the hammer was do-vn the sound
would continue Nov you can find thoEe Cana ihdeed any
one by practice will become SOY who can tel accurately
the length of different sounds representing letters rs we
can tell the length of marks and rather think
And besides. you would find think, that The pipe and
hammer would be less liable to accidents from attrton;
and then would be the advantage 70 have the eycs 10
write with, while you read with your ears


When wrote this, had not seen Prof Morscs Machine
and had no idea OF the perfection with which worked
When came to see it. found that there no difficulty
from atrition possible tat there may still be some
advantage in using aound berate the eyes, bu can
imagine no other.


While addressing you about this really wonder-working
Telegraph would communicate another thought which
has occurred TO me. Is 1t not possible by Its means 10
unite distant Continents Suppose copper wire, properly
covered and OF sufficient szessy as large as pes;eH
long enough from Maine or Nova Scotia to
the coast Of wound upon reels and arranged
on board steamer so as to on fast The boat
went and dropped the whole width of the Atlantic its
gravity would sink the depth where water so
dense as to be equal gravity and Of course beyond the
reach Of any kind collision Beginning and ending upon


bold shore beyond the reach OF anchors word be out OF
harms way and exposed but two kinds Of accidents viz
from separation by It's weight and the loss of the coat
Ing with which metal must be protected The steamer
Great Britain would carry more wire OF this size than
would extend to Europe and its cost think would be less
than million of dollars.


My idea may not be entirely chnercal, and hope Pref
Morse may take IT consideration. II it can be pu in
practice be has the ability and leisure and the best opPor
unity to do 1t. FRO Boyo PuBLrco.
