EXCAVATIONS IN JERUSALEM.
The First Wall of the City Sup
posed to Have Been DiscOycred,

The First Wall of the City Sup
posed to Have Been Discovered.
DR.. Bliss, who is conducting excava-
tons for the Palestine exploration fund
in Jerusalem, sends home report Of
recent work in which lie states that he
has found, at a depth Of few feet,
the foundations Of a wall which may
be those Of the actual first Wall of the
city, and are certainly on the site Of
that wall. In the course 'Gf the work
he had uncovered three large square
towers. He had also found a gateway,
the doorsill of which was still III stu
with the holes of the door posts and
the holes for the bolts. This sill was
four feet above the ancient paved road
which passed through the wall at this
point, but on digging deeper he found,
four feet below, and therefore on q
level with the ancient road, the sill of
an older gate. Herr Schick reports
that he has found postern in the
north wall on the exact spot where the
Leper's gate is placed by writer's in
the twelfth century.
Reviewing the future of exploration
at jerusalem Maj. Gender, in an inter-
estng article in the Scottish Review,
reminds us that within the temple in
closure it is hopeless to expect that
leave to excavatc can be obtained from
the sultan. If it were possible to re-
move the tagging of the platform on
which the dome Of the rock now
stands, or to open the archway in it's
eastern retaining wall, over which a
mound of earth was heaped in 1881,
when Maj. Gender attempted to get
leave for this exploration, it is thought
very probable that we should find the
foundations of the temple courts and
steps beneath. The We'll of Souls
under tn Sallhrah il cave which has
never been seen by any one now living,
and wi.ic'. is described by no ancient
writer. Within the city excavation is
pronounced only possible Immediately

occupied area. or in the western part
of the Hospital Of st. John. which still
lies beneath an accumulation of rub
bish twenty feet deep. In all other
parts houses and monasterics cover the
ground. Outside, on the north, further
examination of the ground west OF
the Damascus Gate is considered de-
sirable; but on the south there is great
err possibility Of work. The slopes of
Zion are covered with terraced or

HEAVY SAVING IN POWER.
Electric Motors Are Showing an
Economy of Fifty Per Cent.

Electric Motors Are Showing an
Economy of Fifty Per Cent.
There have been many cases of the
use of electro motors to drive lines of
shafting or isolated parts Of plants to
prove conclusively the remarkable in
creased efficiency obtained, especially
where the conveyance of steam for
long distance was necessary. This has
led to q more thorough study of tho
amount Of power absorbed by the line
shafting and cOunter-shafting. The
minimum loss that can be looked for,
and this is obtained only in eXcep-
tional cases requiring constant vigil
lance, is 25 per cent Of the total power
developed, and more frequently runs
as high as IS to 70 per cent. A safe
average would be from 10 to 80 per
cent, although the actual loss must be
determined for each and every case.
With the use of electro motors, when
properly designed and proportional for
the work, as, indeed, is as necessary
in electrical work as with any other
problem of mechanics if the best re-
suits are desired. this percentage of
loss can be materially reduced. An in
efficient result may be expected with
bad electric engineering Just as with
poorly arranged case of millwriShting.
but, the electrical proportions being
once obtained, there will, within rca-
sonable limits. be no decrease in eff
cheney from the deterioration.
The advent of electricity for such
purposes seems to have enabled man.
ayers to realize more fully than ever
before the loss accompanying what
was heretofore generally accepted as
the most efficient method Of furnishing
power to the individual machines Of Il
plant. The use Of electric motors i'll
the place of shafting and on isolated
machines where the motors are belted
directly to the isolated shafts or to
the machines has been sufficiently ex-
tended to ren..er the verifcation OF the
results obtained unnecessary 1t is no
exception to find reduction Of so per
cent of the power consumed. This Is
not due entirely to the saving of loss
through friction, but also to the ad-
vantage gained by the intermittent
action of machinery of every kind.
Tests show that where the motor drive
has been substituted. the machines are
in operation but little more than enc

has just died in New York of consump-

Peru and began practice as physician
in Lima. Early in his career he became
interested III the study OF bacteriology
and spent his life, at last sacrificing it,,
in the pursuit of that science. Cholera
and yellow fever epidemies had no ter
rors for him, and wherever they broke
out there be hastened to pursue his
favorite study. He contracted yellow
fever in Havana, but speedily recovered
under treatment directed by himself. A
few years ago when the cholera appeared
at New York he went to Swinburne is
land, and remained there treating the
patients and studying the disease until
the epidemic was over He also made
study of malarial fevers and leprosy, prov
ing beyond a doubt that the latter was
produced by bacteria. He was absolutely
without fear in the presence of the worst
diseases, and actually sought them out
as atfording him the means of studying
their causes and treatment for the bene-

New York bankers are going to fight
the provisions of the income tax law
which allows only s1ch debts to be
deducted as have been contracted and
found worthless in the same year. They
say, and rightly too, that this provision
ia clearly unjust since it obliges them to
pay tax not only on their gains, but
also upon their losses. The same rule
applies to merchants, and in their case
works even greater hardship, inasmuch
as debts owed them are muc i less like
ly to be secured Even if the court
should finally sustain what there is left
of the law, the. government has a long
period of litigation before it can collect
the tax, for voluntary payment is likely
to be the exception rather than the rule.
