Life Preserver for nriners,

An English invention consists of an
apparatus for ascertaining the contig-
uity of water or gas workings in
mines, and for passing food to impris-
oned miners and for reseuing them.
The apparatus for ascertaining tho
state of mine as regards approaching
danger consists of a chamber fitted
with slide valve, which can be open
ed and closed at pleasure. Through
stufing box in the chamber on the
working side passes boring tool, with
which the miner drills a hole in the
coal to the distance inwards to which
he intends to work. Assuming this
to be, say, eight feet, when he has
reached that distance he withdraws
the boring tool, and if neither gas nor
water has made its appearance, he
knows that he can safely go in so far.
Should he tap water or gas during the
boring there would be an thrush Of
the one or the other into the chamber
Of the apparatus and its presence
would be indicated by a pressure
gauge. The boring tool would then
be withdrawn as far as the stuffing
box, the safety valve would be closed
In front of it, and steps would be taken
to insure safety in the workings.-New
