Colliery Explosions and Warnings.

Although the number of explosions in
England, says writer in the Colliery
Guardian, during the past year reached
about the same total as in 1881, there
was, unfortunately, a very large increase
in the number of deaths recorded. In
1881 there were thirty -one explosions,
causing l16 deaths; In the year just
closed, the newspapers reported twenty
eight exp plosions, fifteen Of which were
fatal to 241 persons, at least 100 persons
were injured, and the property destroy
ed was enormous. In three of the ex-
plosions 140 horses we're killed, besides
many more not enumerated in other ex-
plosions. The following were the fatal
explosions: Risca, 4 lives; Rhondda, 4 +;
Trimdon Grange, 80; Blaina, 5; .Tud-
hoe, So; West Stanley, 13; Whitehaven,
4 s.; Burncliffe, Z; Baxterly, 80; Treorky,
1; Hamilton, 3; Burnley, l ; Silverdale,
2; Maesygrug, 2; Clay Cross, 45. In the
case of the Rhondda explosion the gas
was ignited from fire in the shaft which
had already caused the loss of two lives
Ventilation was at a stand-still. The
Baxterly disaster was due to fire in the
workings from the machinery gener-
ating a quantity of gas. These two cases
are therefore omitted in the remarks on
atmospheric pressure. =
Thirty-two colliery warnings were is
sued during the year, nineteen of
which were justified by subsequent
events, twelve were followed within less
than three days by fifteen explosions,
causing 139 deaths, two by forty three
deaths on the fifth day, and twenty
three lives were lost on the sixth day, or
total of 205 lost in six days from the
issue of the warnings. Five lives were
lost on the day of issue, the warnings
being published IN the press on the fol-
lowing day. In each case those ex-
plosions which occurred on the fifth and
sixth days were preceded by warnings
indicating prolonged unfavorable condi-
tons. Adding to our list four continen-
tai explosions, causing ninety-eight
deaths, and tabulating them according
to the atmospheric conditions at the
time, we find that with rising barome-
ter there were twenty-three explosions,
causing 298 deaths with a falling ba-
rometer, six explosions, all non-fatal
and with steady glass, one explosion,
causing five deaths. Looking at the re-
suits in another way, there were twenty
explosions, causing 227 deaths with the
barometer ranging from 29.9 inches to
800 inches, the mean being 30.15 inches;
with the barometer being 29.9 inches,
there were ten explosions, causing
seventy-six deaths, the mean barometer
being 29.5 inches. Only ten ont of the
thirty disasters were accompanied by
winds south of west and east.

of the kind. 1t simply reported that
the contract in question corresponds with
the present faulty law upon the question
of state printing. The committee passed
no opinion on the merits of the contract
and it was equally silent regarding the
wretched manner in which the state
printing is now being done. The for,
