GREAT STREET CAR INVENTION
Small Magnets Placed in the Track
Propel the Trains.

CHICAGO, July IA change in the
method of street railway propulsion is the
possible result of a trial that has been
made here Of a local invention. Small
electric magnets imbedded between the
rails of the track are used to pull the cars
The electro-magnets form one-half of the
motor and are placed in the ground in a
line halfway between the tracks. The
other part, the armature, is attached
lengthwise to the bottom of the car. 1t is
a long iron bar, cut up into feet and SO at
tached that the ends ordinarily are within
an inch Of the top magnet boxes. But the
primary difference between the new system
and the trolley motor is that the new
car is not propelled by the friction Of the
wheels with the track. but by the invisible
force of magnetism.
Each magnet is connected with main feed
wires, heavily insulated and bringing cleo
tricity from the power house.
When the car is not running over them
the magnets are not in the circuit.
An Advancement of the magnets accord
ing to polarity is the scheme for attracting
the car and making it run smoothly. The
great saving which the inventor claims is
in the amount of electricity required. He
says seventy-five amperes will suffice for
forty cars. while with the present trolley
system seventy-five amperes are required
for one car.

Fears That Some Persons Were Caught
in the Crash-Troops on
Guard.

VENICE. Italy, July 14.-The Campanile
detached bell tower of St Marks Church,
ninety-eight meters high. collapsed at 1910
o'clock this morning and fell with great
crash into the piazza.
The Campanile, which was entirely de-
tached from the cathedral collapsed where
it stood and is now a heap of ruins. The
cathedral and palace of the doges are quite
safe. but a corner of the royal palace was
damaged. Repairs on the Campaniie were
to have been commenced today. 1t is feared
there was some loss of life. The ruins are
surrounded by a Gordon of troops.
The first intimation of danger was the
sudden appearance yesterday of lorSltu-
dinal crack in the corner of the wall facing
the clock tower and the breaking of two
windows. concert. which had been ar
ranged to be held on the piazza yesterday
evening was stopped by order of the pre-
feet, with the object of preventing 4 con-
course of people.
The ruins are piled up to height of 100
feet, and the Piazza di San Marco and the
adjoining squares covered with debris
and dust. Some damage was done to the
Sansovino logetta or vestibule, on the east
side of the Campanile.
The Campanile stood opposite the church,
or Cathedral of st. Marks. 1t was founded
in SSS. restored in 1899, provided with
marble top in 1417, and in 1911 was crowned
with the figure of an angel nearly sixteen
feet high. The loggetta or vestibule, on the
east side of the Campanile, was once a
rendezvous of the noblia, and afterward
waiting room for the guards during the
sessions of the great council. There were
bronze statues of Peace Apollo, Mercury
and Pallas on the coping of the Campaniie,
and its fine bronze doors were much ad-
mlred. At the top of the tower a fire
watchman, with telescope, was con-
tinually stationed.

Scottish and York
Rites of Masonry

The following will explain to many
members OF the symbolic lodges the
distinction between the York and Scot
fish rites: The York rite consisted of
but three degrees, Entered Apprentice,
Fellow Craft, and Master Mason. The
rite was practised until the latter part
OF the eighteenth century, when, &C.
cording to Mackay. Dunckerlay dis
membered the third degree by elimin-
ating the secrets of the Royal Arch.
There Is not now in existence any
where any such rite as the York rite.
The usually denominated such in this
country Is sometimes styled the
american rite" name given to it by
Mackey in all his writings. The Amer
!can modification of the York rite con-
sists of nine degrees, namely: /, En-
tered Apprentice; 2. Fellow Craft; 3,
Master Mason, given in symbolic lodg-
es and under the control of Grand
lodges; 4, Mark Masters; 5. Past Mas
ter; 6, Most Excellent Master; Z, Holy
Royal Arch, given in chapters and un-
der control of Grand chapters; 8, Roy
al Master; 8. Select Master, given in
Councils. and under control of Grand
councils. A tenth degree, called Super
Exalted Master. is conferred in some
councils as honorary rather than as a
regular degree; but even as such it is
repudiated by many Grand councils.
The degrees of the Commandery,
which are known also as the Degree
Of Chivalry, can hardly be called
part of the American York rite. The
possession Of the eighth and ninth de-
grees is not considered a necessary
qualification for receiving them. The
true American York rite consists only
Of the nine degrees above enumerated.
The Ancient and Accepted Scottish rite
is the youngest Of the Masonic rites,
but is the most widely diffused and
popular Of all rites. Governing bodies
Of this rite, called Supreme Councils,
are to be found in almost all civilized
countries. and in many Of them it is
the only Masonry that is known.
