MINING LAMPs-Various devices have
from time to time been brought forward
with view to prevent the ordinary safety
lamps-so necessary for working with in
mines-from being tempered with. Locks
of almost every conceivable description
have been brought out, but in nearly all in
stances they have failed to answer the spc-
clal requirements. Recently, however, &C.
cording to the London scientific Journals,
an arrangement has been contrived which
appears to combine all the essentials so
long desired, and by which any tampcring
with it ia made known in q very peculiar
manner In this device there ia no lock
whatever, or even fastener, the bottom be-
ing simply screwed and unscrewed by
turning it at the bottom with the hand
After the wick of the lamp is lighted, the
bottom is screwed on and then ia ready for
work. Should any endeavor be made to
get at the flame, which could only be at.
tempted by unscrewing the bottom, then.
the moment that the screw is turned round
the light gradually goes out, and before the
two parts can be separated the light is en-
tirely extinguished.

Velocity Of Sound In Coal.

This is very interesting subject, at
least to those who have anything to do
with coal mines. And yet l have not
met with anything that points to it. nor
any formula whereby it might be cal
culatcd. But perhaps this is q subject
to which the attention of physicists has
not been drawn. I have been told that o
blast has been heard at the distance of one
hundred and fifty yards underground. and
I have heard the signals of the collieries,
that is by hitting the surface of the coal
with one of their tools, at a distance of ff-
ty or sixty yards, and have also heard the
shouts of the men at the distance of fifteen
yards, but have never met any person who
could give the velocity, nor seen any book
on physics in which there is anything con-
corning it. But perhaps it is very hard
subject to deal with, from the difference of
the specific gravity of the Goals and also
the different temperatures that we find
there. And if from these different causes
it would be hard to find the real velocity,
yet by counting velocity that might be
rather theoretical at first, we might by de-
grees come nearer the truth.-Correspon-
dence in Nature.
