county. If each person owning proper

Keely Rediyiyus.

1t looks as if the periodical Keely "boom"
was about to set in. Apropos of certain re-
cent indications Of this possibility, gentle
man has offered 5000 to any university in
New England that will send physicist to
witness Keely's experiments, who will bind
himself not to give an opinion until the ma
ture of Keely's discoveries have been made
known to him and he has seen the demon
strations which Keely declares he is ready
to make in proof of his claims as discOv-
erer, not as an inventor. The feeling of the
public on this question is we'll indicated in
a conversation which recently took place, in
which a mechanical engineer was asked if
he would like to go TO Philadelphia to ex-
anime and report on the Keely motor.
"Yes, for a sufficient iee," he replied.
"Do you think that your report would be
valuable to your client in proportion to the
size OF your fee?" was asked.
Certainly, it would" was the reply, "if
my report should be the means of prevent
ing his making an investment of greater
sum in the Keely motor"
"But, suppose he has already invested,
and he wished your report to enable him to
decide whether to hold on to his stock or to
sell out?''
"In that case" replied the engineer, "I
think should advise him to hold on to it,
for l would consider his unloading it about
equal in morality to his unloading counter
felt money, with which he had been stuck,
upon an innocent party. If he has been
swindled into buying the stock 1 don't
think that justifes him in swindling any
one else with it.

Alarm for Hot Bearings.

An ingenious invention halls from Copen-
hagen, Denmark. The idea embodied is to
arrange an explosive in association with GER
tain chemicals, so that a certain degree of
heat will cause an explosion, and give warn
ing before the heat reaches destructive
stage. It's special application is to the pres
ervation of bearings. A small piece of sheet
metal-something like a cartridge shell-is
filled about half way with the explosive. A
paratfine globular capsule, hollow inside, is
filled with sulphuric acid, and sealed. This
globule is laid on top of the explosive, and a
mixture of chlorate of potash and sugar is
filled in all around it; then a stopper or
plug of cork or rubber is put in, sealing the
cartridge. A hole is drilled in the box or
bearing, and the cartridge set in. Should
the bearing run dry, the heat will melt the
paraffiue capsule, letting the sulphuric acid
come in contact with tine chlorate and sugar
mixture. which will Immediately explode
the cartridge. causing loud detonation and

New Salt Making Process,

Salt is at present produced by means of
open vats or pans, varying in size according
to circumstances and the quality of the salt
to Reproduced. Its manu- facture necessarily
requires large area and an enormous con-
sumption of fuel to maintain the salt at the
boiling point, in order to secure the pre-
cipitation of the salt more or less rapidly,
according to the quality required. For
example, salt pan II yards long and ~
yards wide-30 square yards-exclusiye of
the brick work, Is supposed to run out about
40 tons of salt per week. DR.. Pick, who is
one of the highest authorities on the SUBJ
ject OF salt production, has, however, in
vented an economical process for evap-
Grating liquors containing salts and for
separating the salts from them, Bv means
of this apparatus, which covers 35 square
yards. it is stated that 600 tons of salt can be
produced per week. The apparatus in
question is simple in construction and opera
tion, while the process of making salt by it
is economical, continuous and automatic.
1t depends for its success mainly upon two
principles: Firstly, that the boiling point
of any liquid is lowered by reducing the
pressure under which evaporation is carried
on; secondly, that the steam generated by
the evaporation of anv liquid contains a
certain quantity of. latent heat, which is
sufficient TO evaporate another quantity of
water providing the boiling point of the
latter is below the temperature of the steam
used.

WRITTEN FOR THR DIsPLrcH.1

WRITTEN FOR THR DIsPLTcH.I
An English invention, just patented, con-
sists of an apparatus for ascertaining the
contiguity of water or gas to workings in
mines, and for passing food to imprisoned
miners and for rescuing them. The apps-
ratus for ascertaining the state of mine as
as regards approaching danger consists of
chamber fitted with a slide valve, which can
be opened and closed at pleasure Through
q stufing box in the chamber on the work
ing side passes boring tool, with which
the miner drills hole in the coal to the dis
tance inward 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 ap-
paratus and its presence would be indicated
by pressure gauge. The boring tool would
then be withdrawn as far as the stufing box,
the safety valve would be closed in front of
it, and steps would be taken to insure safety
IN the workings. 1t IS proposed that this
detector shall be used each day when the
men proceed to their work, in order to ascer-
tain whether or not the elements of danger
are present, and only waiting the stroke of
q pick to be released. The further modifca-
tions OF this apparatus relate to the passing
of food to imprisoned miners and to their
bodily delivery. The apparatus in each
case is similar in principle to that already
described, but much larger. By means of
the first large hole is drilled through the
coal, the drill is Withdrawn and a tubular
vessel containing food and messages is passed
through. By the second a larger hole is
bored and larger tubular chamber passed
through, into which the imprisoned men can
creep, and thus be rescued one after the
other. In conjunction with these devices, it
is suggested that medical and surgical ap-
plIances, adapted for mining casualties, be
furnished at depots in mining districts. so
that relief and rescue apparatus can always
be promptly available.

HeaIIh of Miners.

1t is the impression among some who
have never investigated the subject that the
occupation of coal mining is unhealthy.
and ii will surprise the majority to learn
that now the ventilation of the collieries
has been SO much improved, the coal miner
ranks among the healthiest of workingmen.
As rule miners are undersized. This is
dHe to their occupation, as are also their WE'LL
developed trunks and arms. The most fire.
quent functional arrangements among them
are dyspepsia and headache. The miners
back" is a well-known complaint in districts
where small veins are worked, and it is q
very troublesome one TO collierv doctors.
In other districts peculiar affection of the
eyeballs has been noticed. 1t is known as
''miner's nystagmus. The patient is una
bic to fix his ewes upon certain objects with
out their exhibiting a peculiar quivering or
osclllatory movement, making clear appre-
henslo1 of objects an impoSsibility. 1t is
said to be caused by the use of the pick by
the miner in a STOPPING or lying posture, in
a working dimly lit by the ordinary SAFETY
lamp. A few years ago the mining classes
used to suffer largely, far in excess of the
rest of the population, from lung diseases.
There was form of miners phthisis, known
as anthrocosis, where, on post mortem exam
1natlon, the lung was found to be perfectly
black. If the lung was squeezed there
exuded dirty black, ink-like fluid, caused
by the presence of large quantities of un-
burnt carbon. But all this is, to a very
great extent, a thing o. the past. A case of
well-marked anthrocosis is now a very rare
thing, owing to the improved ventilation OF
the mines.
