Subway Explosions,

The Mining Journal, in discussing the
report recently presented to the Board of
Electrical Control, on the subway explo-
Kions, by Commissioners Gilroy and Glib
bens, makes some pertinent suggestions
which may possibly be of value to other
citizens besides those OF New York. He
recommends that the gas mains be taken
out OF the manhole, and that the manholes
be covered with light astenings and hinged
so as to blow open easily. He says: "Aban-
don your silly system of house connections,
bv which open pipes may at any moment,
through accident or carlessness, connect a
citizens cellar with the conduit air, or the
cellar air, or the sewer air OF a whole block.
Whether this common air atmos-
phere be infammable or explosive,
or poisonous or malodorous merely
1t is not wholesome. Haul of your blowers,
except tor local and temporary uses. Send
your sub committee over to the slow city OF
Brooklyn with instructions to inquire into
the obscure but pertinent !act that somehow
or other these Brooklyn subways are not
explosively conspicuous, although there is
IlIentv Of gas in the Brooklyn SOIL" He
further advises a visit to the Telephone Ex-
change building, and an investigation into
the method by which exemption from es-
Gaping gas in its basement is attained. This
method is simple and easy. When cable
is taken from a subway it is run up through
a box which acts as a chimney, and the
small amount OF gas which may leak into
the conduit leaks out again up the chimney
