THE ELECTRIC LIGHT IN MINEs.-The London
Mining journal points out that, aside from its
other advantages. the success OF the electric
light would solve a most important problem
Affecting the lives OF many persons now work
ing In mines. There appears TO be no reason
says the journal, ''why electricity should not
be made applicable for mining instead of lamps,
and this would effect what our mining engi-
neerS and foremost chemists have long been
looking for. 1t would give the men such a light
as they have never dreamed OF, enabling them
to get much larger quantity of coal in given
time than il is possible for them to bring down
by the light Of the lamp, which barely suffices
to make the blackDeSS OF the working places
visible. 1t would also benefit both masters and
men, and greater safety would. be insured, for
explosions would be all but impossible, whilst
the miners would be better able to guard
against falls of roof and COAL
