Description

PER MARE, PER TERRAM.

This picture shows us the interior of the receiving and despatching room of the submarine cables at the Central Telegraph Office. The Central Telegraph Office is a department of the General Post Office. London, and from the room which is here represented there is direct communication with the shore ends of the great submarine cables which, starting from our coasts, connect our islands with the uttermost ends of the earth. Already the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the Chiua Seas have been conquered by the ever-advancing wire. The broad, deep waters of the Pacific still remain impervious to the whisperings ol the electric transmitter. The busy brains of enterprising men are. however, at work to "bring the Pacific into line." and ere many years are passed we shall see a direct British cable connecting the shores of Vancouver, in the Northern Hemisphere with those of Australia and New Zealand far away beyond the Southern Cross.
