MINE GASES.
An Experts Opinion on the Lansford
Explosion.

An Experts Opinion on the LansfoId
Explosion.
4. Shaw, NJ. f., in letter in yesterdays
Philadelphia Ledger says:
Editor Public Ledger-Sir: / notice in
the recent gas explosion at Tamaqua, in
which five men lost their lives and a number
seriously wounded and injured that there
seems to be some doubt as to the cause of the
explosion.
AS this is 4 subject upon which am fully
posted, | would feel criminally negligent if /
failed to set forth the cause of that explosion.
viz: The water being forced down ON in
candescent Goals becomes decomposed and
causes the oxygen to combine with the
carbon liberating hydrogen and carhonoua
oxide, which gas would he forced up into the
workings, where the men are located, com
mingle with air and becomes violently cx-
plosive,
The only precaution against this class Of
accidents is a positive gas tester which should
be used continually in order to detect danger
Gus gas in advance of explosive mixtures.
THE ordinary lamp test is very deceptive
in an emergency of this kind, for the reason
that carbonic gas is forced up with other
gases, and since the lamp test is dependent
entirely upon the elongaton Of the flame of
the lamp for ignitable gases, the presence of
carbonic acid gas lowers the flame rendering
it possible for the flame to stand in normal
condition when in the presence of a highly
explosive mixture.
Very few miners are aware Of this simple
fact, that has led hundreds to destruction as
was the ease in the explosion referred to.
T. SHAW, NJ. E.,
Expert on Mine Gases
"P. S.-If the mine owners had to work
alongside of the poor, ignorant miner. all
the miners would soon be provided with
positive tests for dangerous gases. There arc
5000 mines in this state that should be pro-
vided with safety apparatus to detect dan
gerous gases"

Going the rounds of the press is an item
stating that the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany is the largest advertiser in America.
OF course, the business itself must be an
enormous one to justify 50 great an ex-
penditure in publicity. There is no fallacy
more dangerous than that success can be
gained by advertising an article of Indifferent
merit. But, given an article of the highest
quality like Royal Baking Powder, which
when the housekeeper has once used she
finds if she desires the best food she cannot
do without, then the greatest measure of
success is attained by keeping it continuously
before the public. Great merit and good ad-
vertising are both essential to make a product
"A great success The Royal Baking Powder

wisely used the second, and the result is APP

REV. MILLS VISIT.

Rev. NJ. H. Mill, formerly pastor of
ST. David's Episcopal church, accom-
panied by his wife, has been visiting
on this side. He is now located at
st. Johnsburg VT. He left here a lit
tie over year ago and is pastor Of
ST. Andrews church, which is some
what larger than his former charge
here, 1t having 200 members.
st. Johnsburg is a pretty little town,
and Is composed of an excellent class
of reople-very few foreigners reside
in the place. 1t is away beyond the
ordinary New England town. it seem-
ed odd to the reverend gentleman to
walk along the streets of Scranton and
see so many saloons. In his new home
town, which has a population of 1000
there are no saloons, and he has seen
only one intoxicated person.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mill have enjoyed their
visit immensely. While here they
have found lots of their old friends and
while their new home is a decided
Improvement they are glad to meet
their former parishioners. The first
three weeks of their vacation was
spent at Hartford, Conn, and in South
ern Pennsylvania. Mr.. Mill occupied
the pulpit Of st. Martins church, at
Raynor, near Philadelphia, for the last
three Sundays. Rev. and Mrs. Mill
Will leave today for Lancaster, where
they will visit the latter's parents.
Mr.. Mill expects to fill his pulpit at
st. Andrews church next Sunday.
