IN MINE EXPLOSIONS,
many Men Lose Their Lives Through
Ignorance of What to DO,


Scientific inquiry is being directed to
the saving of human life in mine ex-
plosions. DR.. Haldane has established
the fact that the loss of life in colliery
accidents is far greater than it need
be when those who work in the mines
and those who manage them have
clearer knowledge of the right thing
to do in the face of the calamity. In a
recent mine explosion, where 81 men
and 30 horses were killed, the cause of
death in every case was proved to be
not the want of oxygen in the air of the
pit after the explosion, but to COM
paratively slow poisoning by carbon
monoxide. Sufficient oxygen to sup
port life was left in the anyways all
along the track of the explosion. 1t
appears that men from want of knowl-
edge now go straight to their death
in endeavoring to escape. DR.. Haldane
is convinced that hundreds of men have
lost their lives by hurrying blindly to-
ward the shaft. or by not retiring to-
ward the face when they met the after
damp. In many parts of the mine there
will be, beyond the limits of the ex-
| plosion, abundance of air to effect hilu-
ton of the poisonous carbon-monoxide,
on breathing which the men suddenly
lose the use of their limbs and finally
consciousness. So that & man who
waits for the rescuers, or long enough
for the after-damp to disperse, will be
able to escape either by the intake, or
if this is blocked, by. the retVrn air

CITY SOLDIERS ARE BEST.
Modern Warfare Is Easiest Learned
by Them.

Dy Iuems
The old saying of the recruiting SER
geants that 1.-The best soldiers come
from the plow-tail' is hardly correct
when looked at in the light of modern
military experience. 1t is quite true
that in the past regiments recruited
from the country districts have again
and again made themselves conspicuous
for gallantry and endurance, but The
changed conditions of modern warfare
appear to have enabled the town-bred
soldier to rather more than catch up
with his country-bred comrade. Sta
tistics show that he. is more rapidly
promoted, that he is more fertile in re-
source, more adaptable to circum-
stances and quicker in learning the de-
tails of his business, while the improved
conditions of town life seem to have
placed him nearly on par with regard
! to stamina. In France there are no
two opinions ON the subject-the best
soldiers come from Paris; and when it
Is remembered that after the practical
destruction of the regular French army
| at Metz and Sedan the victorious vet
Grams of Germany were held at bay fol
five months by the raw levies mostly
drawn from the French towns, thert
seems but little doubt that the Frenct
opinion is correct.
