  The 9  cables that men tried to lay  10  England and America broke and were 11 during storms.At last,after nine years of hard work,the two English-speaking nations of Britain and America were 12 in 1866 by the electric telegraph under the sea.

    Later,all the different 13 of the world were joind up by a 14 of cables.It is 15 easy to send a message by cables as it is to 16 an ordinary telegram,and it takes no longer for a message to 17 half way round the world than from one town to the 18 .Every hour of the day and night 19 are being flashed under the ocean to and20 every country in the world.
