Explosives In Mines.

The regulations governing the storage of
explosives in coal mines are in most Euro
pean countries very strict. Austria allows
tho storage of 100 Kilograms not nearer
than 100 meters from any shaft or gal
lcry. SaxoDy allows but rs Kilograms, so
meters from shafts and 10 from galleries
England and colonies, France and Belgium
allow only one days supply to be taken
in, but concessions have been made in
Franco after tests Of an automatic buffer,
designed in case of explosion to seal the
drift and conflne the deadly gases. A
stopper, fitting tightly like IA piston in the
connecting drift between tho magazine
and tho main gallery, is thrown by an OK
plosion against an amular shoulder, there
by scaling the drift. Where this device is
used in French mines large quantities of
explosives, black powder excepted, may be
stored OH shelves, but never superposed,
in chambers lighted by safety or electric
lamps. Cnps must not be stored in tho
same chamber, the ventilation must DO
thorough, and tho arrangement of the en-
frances, position of magazine and GAL
leries, construction of buffer and many
other details AFRO so deliberately and mi
nutely prescribed that few besides very
large operators will care to adopt them. -

NOT suPERsTITlous.

No, I am not superstitious,
I consider 1t pernicious, 7f-ts.-sssee
If not absolutely vicious,
In n man
To admit himself so small that he nust scan
Every little sign and omen
AS the menace of foeman.
Still, I'm free to say TINT Friday
Mover, never would be my day
For venture, for I'm sure twould never hit,
Though aln not superstitious-not bit
Really, Two no liberation
OF that nervous hesitation
And that irksome perturbation
Which Two seen
When dinner party CHANGED to be thirteen
Why, I've seen that urrnnt folly
Make n whole crowd melancholy
With their whining and their flimsy.
Foolish reasons for the whimsey.
Still, own hate TO be tho last to sit,
Though am not superstitious-not a Bit
Certain things may DO propitious,
Though they seem but adyentitious
And it's hardly supcrstitious
To perceive
Which is which, and so accordingly believe
Now, there's nothing makes mo sadder
Than to walk beneath IL ladder,
But grow n good deal holder
When the moon Is Mt my shoulder.
And to spill the salt, it takes away my grit,
Though am not supcrstitious-not a bit
Surely nothing can be clearer
Than that evil marches nearer
BY the breaking of mirror,
And it's true
That bowling dog in nighttime makes me
blue,
For his keen scent makes no errors,
And lie smells the king of terrors.
Here's another tliing-talse hecd, sir,
If your nose should start to bleed, sir,
And should only bleed three drops and then
should quit;
Though am not supcrstitious-not n bit.
1t is odd to sec what uses
Some folks make of vain excuses
Rather than admit abuses
OF the mind
When they're rather supcrstitiously inclined
Just to put it in plain English,
1t would seem they can't distinguish
Between false and foolish cases.
And the few which have IA basis
In experience, which even 1 admit,
Though am not supcrstitious-not n whit
