WIRELESS TELEPHONE
FOR USE IN MINES
NEW DEVICE MAY BE MEANS OF
SAVING LIFE UNDER
GROUND.

(EXtract from Engineering & Mining
JournaD
The unique system of telephoning
here described was invented by Herr
Renekc in Germany, in the attempt
TO overcome the difficulties resulting
from broken wires in ordinary sys-
fems Of telephony. His system has
now been In regular use for two years
In the Carolinongluck Pit Bochum,
Westphalia, where no other method
Of SIGNALLING Is used. The Wireless
Telephone co, Ltd, London, Is the
owner of the British and colonial pat
ents.
The invention seems to be entirely
original: in fact the German patent
Office did not at first believe 1t to be
practicable, but, on its being demon
strated. granted a patent without re-
strictions or anticipations being cited,
which is most unusual.
While called "wireless," the system
is entirely distinct from that COM
monty used in wireless telegraphy,
How Sound Is Transmitted.
In this system the transmission and
reception of speech occur in the
Same manner rs in ordinary telephon-
ing, but there the resemblance ends.
Instead Of the current from the trans
mittar being conducted along the wire
to the receiver it is converted to high
pressure by means of a transformer
contained in the telephone case. The
high pressure or secondary winding Of
this transformer is connected to the
rr'ir"rv rails or pipes in the mine
md communicates to them charge
of electricity, which spreads over the
whole system of rails, and varies with
the Fluctuations of the primary cur
rent in the transmitter circuit of the
telephone. 1t Is unnecessary to make
any special provision to insu|ate the
rails or pipes, or to connect the ada
cent lengths electrically
# is interesting to note that the in
yention was led up to by the discovery
that the conditions Of distribution Of
electric charges underground are en-
tircly distinct from the conditions
that hold on the surface of the earth
and the WORKING of the system largely
depends on this fact, which was DEM
onstrated for the first time by the in
VentOr.

LEGEND OF THE HORSESHOE.
Why T. Is Always Regarded as an EN-
hIer of Good Luck.

All superstitious people know that a
horseshoe nailed over a door Will keep
out evil and bring good fortune; thal
a miniature horseshoe worn as a
watch charm or suspended from a
chain around the neck is Infinitely
"lucky." and that floral horseshoe
forms a part of the decorations J I
festivities. The efficacy of the horse
shoe is we'll known and can no more
be doubted than can the luck bringing
qualities of the right hand foot of a
rabbit caught in a graveyard at mid
night during the dark of the moon,
/ While only a few iconoclasts will
deny the luck of the horseshoe, not
many of even the most ardent deVotees
of that charm know how or why II
gained it's magical properties. 1t was
st. Dunstan, the blacksmith, and the
patron of all smiths and Smiths, who
made the horseshoe lucky.
| st. Dunstan was an Anglo-SaXon
ecclesiastc who lived in the tenth
| century. He entered the Benedictine
Order at an early age, and when not
engaged in religious duties he was
employed as a blacksmith. One day
/ he was toiling away at the forge,
thinking doubtless Of heavenly things
when a shadow fell athwart the door
way. The saint looked up and whom
did he see? The devil, no less!
i Dunstan, serene in his pety and
faith, was not in the least afraid Of his
visitor, who, according to all accounts
looked very much like an ordinary
man save that he had horns, a tail,
and cloven hoofs. The blacksmith in
quired of His Satanic Majesty the oc-
casion of the dubious honor he had
paid him, and the Prince of Evil re-
piled that he had been travelling So
long and 50 far that his hoOfs had be-
come sore and tender, and he desir-
ed to have horseshoes put on them
Dunstan agreed to do the job, and he
made it as painful as possible for Old
Nick. The devil beloved and roaro6
and refused to let go of his hoofs IN
til the Evil One had promised that he
would never enter any house where
horseshoe was nailed above the door
nor modest any person who carried a
horseshoe charm.
This legend accounts fully for the
good fortune that is supposed to at
tach to horseshoe, but 1t raises an
interesting question. Satan promised
to respect the horseshoe as a sacred
talisman, but the efficacy of the charm
rests solely on a promise given by the
author of all evil It was nearly 1000
years ago that the devil entered into
that compact which is a long time for
even the best Of folks to remember a
promise.

ing the speaking in any way
I Talk From Moving Cage.
"A further most important applica =
ton Of the system is that of speaking
from the moving cage to the hoist
house, and for the latter position the
inventor has designed an ingenious
method of operation. The telephone
Is mounted on a standard fixed close
to the hoisting engineers ear. On re-
ceiving call, he has only to put his
ear to the receiver, and the slight
pressure is sufficient to switch in the
telephone and enable him to commun-
icate with the cage, without removing
his hands from the levers. Various
methods of connection are possible for
the telephone in the cage, one of the
most satisfactory being connection in
to a loop formed by the hosting ropes,
and by the balance rope Cor, if this is
not used, by wire suspended below
the cage in the same way. 1t is then
possible to speak from either cage 70
without any alteration in the ordin-
airy hosting arrangements The sur
face telephoning is preferably con-
nected in circuit with loop Of WIRE
fixed to the headgear, or in the shaft
in any convenient place.
Several methods of telephoninc from
the cage to the shaft have been pre-
viously proposed such as the ,,n-
structinn of hosting rope contain
ing an insulated wire. or the insu'a-
ton of the attachment of the rope to
the cage and also the overhead sheavn,
etc, or the use of sliding contacts :,
wire suspended in the shaft There
are definite defects in all these meth
DDS. but they need not be discussed.

ing telephones to the rails or pipes at
any point of the system, by bridging
suitable difference of pressure; by
connecting between the rails and pipes
If these exist; or, as Is sometimes con-
venient in the case of portable instru-
ments, by connecting to an entenna
consisting of loose coil Of wire,
which may be laid on the floor or
hung on the timbers.
As in the ordinary telephone, bell
is used for calling attention, the bell
being operated by specially designed
relay On the button being pressed at
the transmitting stations, all the tele-
phone bells will ring, and all the tele-
phones can receive the message by
taking the receiver off the hook, which
operation cuts off the bell and con-
meets the receiver in the usual man
ner. 1t is possible to tune the relays
50 that each will respond only to its
own particular signal, and thus any
one station can be called, but In min
ing work this Is usually not necessary
or desirable, and the different stations
are called by giving one, two or three
rings, as prearranged, while 1t is al
ways possible, by special signal, to
call all the stations and speak to all
simultaneously. The current required
is furnished by an ordinary battery
In fact, in outward appearance the
telephones are exactly similar to an
ordinary mining telephone
Where System Can Be Used.
The portable instrument which can
be carried about and used in any part
of the mine to which the rails extend,
is contained in a strong metal case,
the total weight being about 20
pounds. This telephone can either
ring up the other stations or be rung
up by them. A smaller or pocket in
strument is also made which can ring
ND other stations. but can not be called
by them with this instrument mes
sages can be sent to or received from
any of the fixed telephones. the only
difference between it and the heavier
portable type being that the other
telephones can not call 1t by ringing
its bell Thus each official provided
with an instrument can give notice OF
any accident and ask for assistant
