Sparkless Bell System for Mines
Telephone apparatus is likely to be
dangerous in mines where fire damp
occurs, not from any sparkling in the
microphone. as this appears to be
harmless, but from the electric bells
which are needed for the telephones.
While it is true that some types OF
electric bell are brought out which are
inclosed in gasproof boxes so that the
sparks cannot cause an explosion, 1t
appears that in practice it is very
difficult matter to keep the gas from
entering. A European inventor, G.
FEEDER, now designs an electric bell
system so as to be entirely free from
sparks, as he uses no moving contacts.
For the current, he makes use of a
special magnetic. fixing the armature
and rotating the permanent magnets
about it, and thus the armature has
no commutator or other moving con-
facts, but the wires come directly off
the coils. No sparks can there occur.
For the electric bell he uses a polar
lied armature attracted by an alter
mating current magnet, this working
on the line current which the magnetic
supplies, and no sparks are given.

THE OLDEST SET
ELEMENT ON EARTH
In Il There Is a Shrine Which Was
Heather Temple, Then Christian
Church and Now a Mosque.

At last we are set down in the midst
of Damascus, a city that can claim
life without a break from its founding
back in the dim dawn Of the worlds
history, says the Christian Herald.
When Abram crossed the desert from
Haran 1000 years ago this city was
standing. (See Gen. xiv, Is, and XIV,
~ She dates back to the time OF
the Pharaohs in Egypt; in fact, she
was old when Greece and Rome were
striplings in years. Rome may be
termed the Eternal City" but Damas-
Gus is twice as old. and though her
streets have run red with blood of
battle and rapine many times, she has
not been overthrown.
Babylon is a heap in the desert and
Tyre is a ruin on the Shore but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such place to see
the nations of the earth parading to-
gether? Here in the market place are
motley crowds of Persians. Moors,
Afghans, Indians. Egyptians, Sudan
csc, Jews, Bedouins, Rruses, Turks,
Europeans. The streets-so crooked,
so narrow, so dirty, so full of life,
with that strange spell of the desert
upon them! The residences as seen
from the street are ugly and disap-
pointing enough, yet like old barns
and tumble-down mills at home, are
fascinating and picturesque.
There are nearly enough mosques
and shrines in Damascus to make it
possible for you to have a different
one for every day in the year. But
there are but two or three that you
will care to spend any time on. You
pass through the street called Straight
and find yourself at the outer gate
OF the mosque Jai a ell Amwy, which
ranks next in sanctity only to those
at Mecca. Medina and Jerusalem. This
has a history: First, heather tenn
pie dedicated to the god Rimmon, then
a Christian church. and now a Mo-
hammedan mosque, Evidences of its
Christian history are still there: The
original gateway remains, as the
chalice and patten on the bronze doors
testify, and then a portion of an arch
with a Greek inscription which seems
singularly out of place and almost pro-
phetic. 1t reads, Thy kingdom, o
Christ, is an everlasting kingdom, and
thy dominion endureth throughout all
generations"
