DEATHS or con MINERS.
Rate of Mortality No. 30 Large as BE-
lfeyed.

Seeing the conditions under which coal
miners work in hot and dust-laden at
mosphere and their terrible liability TO
fatal accident is included their death
pected that their death rate would be
excessively high, seys the National Pop
ular Review. AS q matter Of fact, this Is
fer from being the case. Even when
fatal accident is included their death
rate is by no means an excessively hlgn
one, and. putting accidents aside, the
death rate from disease alone Is excep-
tionally low being almost exactly the
same as Of agricultural laborers. Limit
ing ourselves, however only to phthisis
and diseases Of the respiratory organs.
which are the affections to which coal
miners are popularity supposed to be es-
pcciaily victims. though the mortality
OF coal miners from respiratory diseases
is somewhat high II is by no means ex-
cessiVely SO, and their mortality from
phtbsis is far below that OF other dust
inhaling occupations. and, indeed, IL not
very much above that Of agrculturists,
or even above that of fishermen, who en-
joy all the advantages Of n dust free
atmosphere. Now that coal dust may be
less injurious to the lungs than the dust
OF stone of metal is readily ineligible,
for, as Hirst has pointed out, the parti-
cles Of coal when examined under the
microscope are found 10 be- compare
lively speaking, sounded of and free from
sharp points and angles such as characte-
1ize the flint dust i'm a china factory.
This. however, clearly would only explain
why coal miners are less subject to these
diseases than workers in metal and stone
and not why they are scarcely more sub
ject to them taken together than agri-
cultural labOrers nor why their mortality
from phthss alone is very little above
that Of fishermen, who have been taken
as the standard of comparison because
Of their great healthfulness. The ques-
ton is, 10 what is this comparative
exemption due? There are two possible
explanations-one, that the apparent ex-
emption Is simply due to the picked char
acter Of the miners. inasmuch as none but
strong men are likely to adopt so labor
ious a calling; the other that there is
some special nrneervatiVe condition at
-taehing to the Industry, ana as ,5,;s
or coal dust, IT is TO this that most writer's

ton attribute the comparative immunity
