FUTURE OF THE TELEPHONE

The Problem of Transmarine Commu Mica.
tion Not Yet Solved.
1.-THE telephone even when first brought
out was marvel of simplicity and effec-
tiveness." says Professor Elihu Thomson in
an article on 'The Future of Electricity
in the July Neu England Aagaz ne when
we consider that by its means we may con-
verse with and even recognize the voice of
a person distant from us a considerable
fraction of the earth's circumference, we
cannot fail to be impressed with the won
der of it. Can we, however, anticipate
such an extension of the power of the tele-
phone that we may at some time use an
ocean cable as the line over which speech is
to be conveyed?"
''To answer this question In the negative
would be to set limit to the capacity Of
the human intellect to make future ad-
vances; nevertheless, there are reasons
which are cogent enough tending to point
to the impracticability of telephone trans
mission through cables of great length. In
such cases a retardation and an obliteration
of the delicate pulses OF current which
characterize electrical speech serve to pre-
vent the reception of speech at the far end
of the line. By enormously increasing the
power of the waves or impulses the diff
Guilty would be, in a measure, overcome,
but to do this introduces other grave diff
culties, the solution of which is not easy to
foresee" ="

THE GREAT TEMPLE OF BAAL,
Vivid Description OF What Once Was q

aclr,u Aanx zin


Vivid Description Of What Once Was q
Magnificent Building.
Blackwood's Magazine.]
There rises huge wall 70 feet high, in
closing square court, of which the side is
740 feet long. Part of the wall, having
fallen IN ruins, has been rebuilt from the
ancient materials; but the whole of the
north side, with its beautiful plasters, re-
mains perfect
As the visitors enter the court they stand
still in establishment at the extraordinary
sight which meets their eyes; for here,
crowded within those four high walls, is the
native village of Tadmor. 1t was natural
enough for the Arabs to build their mud
huts within these ready y-made fortifcations,
but the impresson produced by such q
village in such a place is indescribably
strange.
The temple, so to speak, is eaten out at
the core and little but the shell remains.
But here and there a futed Corinthian col
umn or group of columns, with entabiature
still perfect, rises in stately grace far over
the wretched huts, the rich, creamy color of
the limestone and the beautiful molding of
the capitals contrasting with the clear blue
of the cloudless sky. The best view of the
whole is to be obtained from the roof of the
naos, which, once beautiful and adorned
with sculpture, is now all battered and de-
faced, and has been metamorphosed into
squalid little mosque.
To describe the view from that roof were
indeed hopeless task. High into the clear
blue air and the golden sunshine rise the
stately columns; crowded and jumbled and
heaped together below untouched by the
gladdening sunbeams, unfreshened by the
pure, fresh air, lies all the squalor and
wretchedness of an Arab mud-hut village.

A Barefoot Boy Prevents What Might Have
Been q Disaster.
LArRoBE, July 2s-[SpeciaL 1.-The third an
nual reunion of the United Brethren Church
occurred to-day ae 1dlew1ld Parks, seven
miles above Latrobe, on the Ligonfer Valley
Railroad. The 1rst special train from the
west left Braddock at 8 o'clock this morning
with nearly 1000 persons on board. Soon
after this q train left the Union depot with
over 800 persons on board from Pittsburs
alone. Other trains were run from Hunting
don, Tyrone, Cresson. Johnstown, Cone
maugh and two from Altoona. 1t is estt-
mated that fully 10000 people were on the
grounds, which fully shows the TACT that it
was the largest reunion ever held by that
congregation IN this State.
An address was made by T. j. Sanders
PHI. D., President of Otterbein College Ohio.
Thousands of persons took occasion to 20 TO
Ligonier for their dinner, but were much
surprised to find that they had been COM
pletely cleared of eatab bles, SO many suffered
with poor plate of ice cream and cake for
q largely advertised good dinner. No ser-
GUS accidents occurred, although one was
averted by young man with a good pair OF
lungs. As the first section of a train going
East was standing on the track at Latrobe,
the second section following was unable to
stop and ran into the back end of tho train.
Shortly before this the platform was
crowded, but all made their escape by
warning given by little fellow in bare
feet.

HOW TO DECORATE A HALL
Some Useful Hints That Contribute to .
Pretty Ornamentation.

Some Useful Hints That Contribute to .
Pretty Ornamentation.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
A hall whose sole decoration consisted of
a quaint, unadorned hall-rack and an um-
brella-stand is now a thing of the past. The
average country-house now boasts of wide
hall, which is furnished much on the plan
of small reception room.
The end of the hall may be converted into
the cosiest of corners. just adapted for q
quiet chat. This is arranged with a settee
like the one shown in the cut The frame
work of the seat should be of the same
wood in which the hall is finished. This
the carpenter must make-the rest can be
homemade. Use down cushions and cover
them with some dark Japanese silk upon
which is design of gilt flowers and butter
flies. Make extra pillow or two to be
placed at the back. For the panels, which
give the artistic touch to the seat, use two
long, narrow pieces of canvas They are
pretty if tinted pale green and painted in
oils, with punches of pink clover. The
canvas is then fastened with gilt nails to
the wood framework.
An odd little table is another addition to
the end of the hail. Curtains for this style
of hail are effective and pretty if made of
dotted Swiss, of terra Gotta or pale green,
and tied back with ribbons.
