A Preventive of Fatalities in Col
lierN ExplOsiOns.

Scientific inquiry is being directed to
the saving of human life in mine *
blossoms. DR.. Haldane has established
the fact that the loss of life in coll1ery
accidents is far greater than it need be
when those who work in the mines
and those who manage them nave a
clearer knowledge of the right thing to
do in the face of the calamity. In a
recent mine explosion, where fifty
seven men and thirty horses were
killed, the cause of death in every
case was proved to be not h want of
oxygen in the air of the pit after the
explosion, but to comparatively slow
poisoning by carbon mOnoXide. Sutf1-
cient oxygen to support life was left
in the airways all along the track of
the explosion. 1t appears that men
from want of knowledge now go
| straight to their death in en~deayorlng
to escape. DR.. Haldane is convinced
that hundreds of men have lost their
lives by hurrying blindly toward the
shafts or by not retiring toward the
a., face when they met the after-damp.
In many parts of the mine there will
be. beyond the limits of the explosion,
abundance of air to effect dilution OF
the poisonous carbor-mOnoXide, on
breathing which the lei suddenly lose
the use of their limbs, and finally coli
seriousness. SO that a man who waits
for the rescurerS, or long enough Tor
the after-damp to disperSe, will be able
to escape either by the intake, or, If
this is blocked, by the return anyways.

Fossil Meal.

A. new product. called fossil meal, is
being introduced from Germany for
preventing the loss of heat from radia-
ton. which takes place to so large an
extent from the uncovered surfaces or
boilers, steam pipes, cylinders and
steam plant generally. 1t consists of
infusorial earth. obtained from certain
mines in Hanover, combined with 9TH
er substances to secure greater cone
s~iveness and strength. This ~infusorial
earth is composed of millions of mi
mute organisms, whose hollow form
gives to the fossil meal its high poros-
ity, and, consequently, its non-conduct-
ing power. Inc use of this material,
however, is not confined to the manu-
facture of non-conducting composition
for steam pipes and engine and boiler
surfaces. 1t is used in safe-making, as
a fire-resistipg compound, and by eX-
pIOSive manufacturers in the produc-
ton of dynamite. 1t is in demand for
cold-storage purposes, for covering
cold pipes from contact with the warm
er external air. 1t is also employed i'll
chemical manufacture, as a preventive
against damp; for cleaning glass and
metals; as a tooth paste; it is made
into blotting paper, and it. is employed
in the manufacture of sealing wax. II
makes up into a fire brick or one-lllth
the ordinary weight, with a fire-reslst-
ing quality equal to that of quartz. 1t
has many other uses, n of which Is
filtration. and it is being largely used
for the domestic publication OF water.

Electricity ms n Thief-Catcher.

When electrical devices for the de-
tectOn of theft were first proposed for
general use, this application of cleo
tricity was looked upon as more of n
joke than anything else. Electrical
thief-catchers, as a matter of fact,
have turned out to be much more reli-
able In their operation than their hu-
a prototypes, and they are now eX-
tensively employed. TIE re~ady-lnade
suit on the dummy outside the cheap
clothier's store is found to be safer
when the lock and chain by which the
wooden figure is secured are suppressed
ed by an electrical attachment, which
instantly gives notice of the slightest
disturbance of the material over winch
its mute custody is exercised. White
chauel, London, has anything but a
savory reputation, and a shoemaker on
its principal street has long been puz-
zled how to save the show goods out
side his store from the depredations of
the nimble-tingered natives. AS every
one nowadays goes to electricity for
everything, the cobbler thought he
would do the same. An attractive pair
of shoes, accordingly, were fitted with
electric wires making a circuit with an
ttlslIll lliSitiV, dbu IitNSu Juoe ''''iN
the door of the store. The bait took.
A. passer-by, with a qtiickess of hand
that showed he was no novice, at
tempted to snatch" the shoes, the
electric CELL rang, and the salesman
ran out just in time to prevent the
booty being carried off b ythe thief,
who was given into the hands of the
police. The aims boxes at the Roman
Catholic church at FolkestOne are all
equipped with electric alar mbells.
Their contents, which formerly were
often tempered with, are now as safe
as though the ywere locked in an iron
chest. Recently a man, who thought
it would be the easiest thing in the
world to tap one of the eimple-look-
inc boxes. tried to do it. Al electrical
impulse along the wire brought up the
Waterman in quick order, and the
thief was marched away to Jail, where,
after trial, he stayed two months.
