Outside oí this strand are fnur diítinct íayors of guttapereba, each layer beiDg insuiated with the same compound which incloscs the c-onducfor. öutaide thia layer are wound eleven sti'ong iron wires, each of wbicb, beforo it ia twisted, is carefully " woulded'' with strands of hemp saturated with the best of Stockholm tar. The structure, therefore, contains no lesa than twenty-fivo tbousand milee of oopper wile, thirty-tive ihoiisand miles of iron wire, and more than fonr bundred thonsand miles of hempen sfrands, making a grand total of i'onr bundred and sixty thougand miles of I continuous fabric ; whiuh, if knottod together, would reach around the world i twenty timen 1 In ita manufactura about ?eventeen milos havo been made daily, and at times its outer coveriug Ïims beeu put ou at the rate of oue hundred and seventy thiee miles a da} .
