Saving Human Life
AN INVENTION THAT APPREHENDS
THE DEADLY GAS IN A
COAL MINE.

William X. Lord, of Mt Carmel,
and William Bullock, of Centralia were
in Pottsvile to-day, and appeared be-
fore the Mine Commission which is in
session at the Court House. Their
object was to lay before that body
the advantages of a draft annunciator
for mines, that they have invented,
and if possible, to get the commission
to recommend the adoption in their
report.
In coal mines there is liability of
violent and destructive explosions from
accumulations of gas, and this trouble
is peculiarly liable in anthracite min
ing. To obviate this danger it is nee
essary to have an air current constant
ly maintained, the circulation being by
airways. Upon the strength and vigor
of the air current depends the safety
of the mine, and a cessation of the
circulation would allow dangerous
accumulation of gas which might eX-
plode. The purpose of this annunci-
ator, i model of which was shown and
its workings fully explained to the
commission, is to furnish automatic
and reliable indication of the air cur
rent, and to record the same on a di-
al, also to transmit the signal sounds
through the medium of telephone or
electric bell to the Office Of general
management in the mining district.
The device embodies rotating fan of
any efficient construction mounted
within the return airway of the mine.
On the shaft of this fan is worm
wheel that engages with train of gear
ing, whose lower termination turns the
index hand of the dial, thus indicating
the amount of revolutions accom-
plished by the fan wheel. On the last
wheel of the series is also a number
of stud projections, which consecutive
ly engage with an arm from rock
shaft, which has an upward stem SO
arranged as to come in contact with
the post, causing an alternate opening
and closing of an electric current that
operates an alarm bell, which may be

arrangement the managers can at all
times be informed of the state of affairs
regarding the air passages in the vari.
Gus mines; Inside the hollow hub of
the fan wheel is placed slip collar on
the axis stem, connected by small
spring rods to one end Of the aperture;
These spring rods have small ball
weights centrally placed, so that rapid
rotation inclines them outward by Gen.
trifugal force, which draws the collar
away from contact screw that closes
a circuit. When the motion Of the
fan wheel is very sluggish or stops en-
tirely for want Of propelling current,
the collar is pressed in contact with
the screw and causes the alarm bell to
ring continuously during the subsi-
dence of the air movement, thus warn
ing the management to be on his
guard.-Pottsuille Republican.

POULTRY NOTES.
No. I6.

Filth, lice, disease, death.
Did you notice that smell when you
passed the hen house
1t will pay in the health of the
family and poultry, to clean cups, and
disinfect with carbolic acid diluted in
water.
There are poultry houses that are not
safe to enter, unless you wish to be
attacked by millions Of lice. How is
yours3
Now is the time to white wash and
clean up, and make things smell clean
and sweet.
1t pays to make pets of your stock
Of any kind as you will thereby get the
best results. Red Caps, says the
Fdncier's ReUie,c, derive their name
from the bright red caps shaped comb
which adorns their heads which in
cocks grows to large size. The Red
Caps have never undergone any Of the
process of breeding strictly for fancy
points alone, utility being placed first,
fancy coming in as an after consldera-
ton, it is hard to find a handsomer
fowl than the Red Caps. The male
is bird of handsome appearance,
broad in breast, wide across the
shoulders, and good length of limb.
Comb should be large, erect, nicely
shaped, and full of points with straight
spike behind. 1t should also be per-
fectly firm on the the head. In color
the cock is rich dark red with black
breast and tail. The comb of the
hen is similar only smaller, the feath-
ers on breast, back, saddle, shoulders,
and underparts arc rich neat brown,
each feather tipped with blush black
spangle; they are nonsellcrs, and ex-
traordinary good layers, wherever kept
they make themselves favorites. With
regard to utility, very few breeds will
turn out as many eggs in the course OF
year.

A Crank Who Wanted Jay Gould
to Divide Up.

A dangerous crank, who gives his
name as Charles J. Dickson, was ar
rested last week at the request of Jay
Gould. Dickson went on Monday to
the house of DIR. Mum, Gould's ply
sician, and announced that he was
vice president of an order called "rhe
Christ Followers" and that he had a
mission to kill Jay Gould. If, how
ever, the millionaire would give him
100000 and make certain arrange
ments for the distribution of
for his property to charity he
would refrain from ASSASSINATION. Dix,
on will be examined as to his sanity.
On Dixon's person when arrested
was found blackjack and pistol.
He made no resistance and after
reaching police headquarters told Po-
lice Inspector Byrnes that he was in
the land commission business at Pueb-
10, Col, and left there on April IS.
He related thrilling story to the in
spector about four men he had killed
single handed while they attempted to
rob his Office of legal papers He said
he joined the 'Chrst Followers" about
year ago in the following manner.
He was instructed to go to a place
called Owls Head, on the Canada line
He stayed until dark and then about
fifty men appeared and surrounded
him. He was made to kneel and take
a number of blood curd.ing oaths.
The object Of the organization was for
the equalization of money.
The council met about the 18TH Of
last month, he said, and convicted Jay
Gould. 1t fell to his lot to 60 to New
York and make certain proposals to
Mr.. Gould regarding the distribution
of his wealth, and if they were not
complied with he was to kill himself.
He would go to Hartford, Conn, his
native place, where he had a spot Sc
lected for the deed. He said he
would have two pistols, one to fire in
to the air and the other to shoot him
self with. This would give the i'm
preston that he had been murdered.
The police regard the man as a very
dangerous crank.
