PHONES TO LINK U, S. AND EUROPE EARLYJN 1932 Trans-Atlantic Cable Will Give All-Voice Circuit to Continents. By Prime* Berrcie NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Early in 1932. probably, it will be possible to talk from the United States to Europe by telephone, regardless of static and atmospheric conditions that interfere with trans-Atlantic radio at times. By then it is expected that a trans-Atlantic telephone cable will be in use, providing an all-wire voice circuit between the continents. Engineers at the Bell Telephone laboratories here are working on the development of the cable system which will connect New York with London. Long distance lines will radiate from each of these cities to the other parts of Europe and America. It is not expected that the cable will replace the present radio system, but its greater reliability will assure a connection at all times. It also will provide an additional channel, so more messages can be handled at once. The telephone cable will handle only one conversation at a time. Recently developed alloys of nickel, cobalt and iron make telephone by cable possible. This metal is known as “perminvar.” It is not used to carry the currents that traverse the cable, but is wrapped spirally around the cable as loading. A copper wire in the center is the actual conductor. With a plain copper wire, which was used in the first cables, the wire and the sea outside acted as a condenser, even though the wire was insulated fully. Electricity is stored in a condenser something like water in a tank, so it is sluggish in its action. The condenser, which is the entire cable, must be charged before the operator at the other end gets a signal, while it must be discharged before another signal can be sent. This made early cable transmission very slow. Tlris capacity of the cable—the property that makes it a condenser —can be overcome by loading it. This is done by wrapping it with wire or tape made of metal, which becomes magnetized by the slight currents flowing through the cable. For use in telegraphy, the Bell laboratories developed an alloy called “permalloy,” which now is in use on several high speed cables. These cables respond instantly to signals from the transmitting end. EDELWEISS VANISHING Famcrs Swiss Mountain Plant Near Extinction. Bn Vnitrd Press GENEVA, Sept. 20.—Edelweiss, the famous Swiss mountain flower, is threatened with extinction, due chiefly to the ravages of tourists. Several Alpine regions where the plant formerly flourished have reported that it now is very rare. Edelweiss does not spread rapidly even under normal conditions. A Bavarian botanist estimated recently that in a certain mountain area there were 26.000 roots of edelweiss in 1920. At the end of 1928, he said, only 600 remained.
