Great care must be used In selectingand laying the cable. A slight defect gives leak-age; this decomposes the alkaline earths; chlorineand caustic soda are perhaps produced, and thecable eaten away. Every joint must be carefullymade and carefully scaled. Some one may saythat It Is Impossible, but I answer It Is the duty ofthe supervising engineer to see that It is properlydone. If anyone thinks this cannot be done, he isnt»l my Ideal englneir, and certainly does not wantto meddle with electric conduit railways.
