Country Schools have a share in This decrease,

The best attendance has been in Christian

One Of the objections is tha: the la,.v. gives

might be thought that the BRIGHTER glow woulJ
scarcely be worth the risk Of life Another ia

Cylinders locked on the lamp 10y an Inspector

lew OF the more entcrprisng men have been
known to obtain false keys SO that they car un-
lock the lamp wher they are once safe in .hcir
corners or the galleries, out Of the foreman's
sight. Lacking keys some try to open III. wire
with the points Of their picks
The great desire to get the lamp open is not
always because of the better light it will give
for working Sometimes the miner would like
to seize few minutes to read while ia the
depths OF the pockets, and he docs not care to DO
this by the weak "davy" flame. But the most
common reason Of all for preferring to have the
lamp open is that it may be convenient for
lighting pipe. Failing in his Efforts to unlock
or pry off the cylinder, the would-be smoker
frequently has resort TO the expedent Of suck
ing the fame through the gauze, and thereby
getting light" Thus, even when the coal
miner consents to use a safety lamp it will lie
observed that he does with certain modi6ca-
tions of his own, which render its value much
less conspicuous. As general rule the mining

''As the act does not grant pension to

there Is noG here man fest an intent to eS-

that The same rule was intended To apply

This has been the rule i'm cases where
