This is a newspaper excerpt from 1850 discussing a successful telegraph between Dover and Calais, and expressing the hopeful possibilities of extending a magnetic wire from London, England to Calcutta, India. It is very brief, but further shows the global connections being made during this time period, as well as the advancement of communication via technology.
