FIRE DAMP in mines, it is stated, can
DO completely destroyed by means of n
new invention recently explained before
the French Academy of Sciences. The
process is as follows : 4 strong electric
current is passed through n wire com:
posed of alternate sections Of copper and
gold, soldered together. The short
section of tho fine gold wire is sur
rounded by flour of sulphur, which
ignites easily. The electric current
causes tho gold to become red hot, set
ting fire to the sulphur, which burns
out any noxious gases. Tho mine is in
this way purified before the miners
descend.
