NO MORE COAL EXPLOSIONS.
One of the Horrors of the Miners Life
Eliminated.

A process has been Invented by James
Tonge of the Manchester Geological
Society, which may rid the mining OF
coal of one of Its greatest dangers. BY
means of It coal can now be taken
from the mines without blasting. The
process is hydraulic and so simple In
operation that the great wonder is II
has not been thought of before. In
stead of being violently disrupted, as
with powder, huge pieces Of coal are
wedged away from the parent body by
means of a simple little pump worked
by hand. 1t has been tried in one OF
the English coal mines, and the result
was so satisfactory that preparations
are being made to install the mine with
the apparatus and discard explosives
altogether. The whole apparatus
weighs fifty pounds and consists of a
cartridge or cylinder Of steel, 1S inches
long and three inches in diameter.
hand pump, a pressure gauge and
light, adjustab BILE stand. Mr.. Tonge's
own description of how 1t is used is
graphic enough. He says;
The coal Is holed near the floor to
the usual depth, and a hole is drilled
near the roof to about the same depth,
as though making ready for the usual
blasting. When this has been done the
cartridge is put in the top hole and
pushed TO the back. The pump is
coupled TO the cartridge. the suction
pipe is placed in a small bottle OF
water, and the work begins. In few
seconds the cartridge is charged with
water. Then the pressure comes on and
begins to show on the gauge. Half a
ton-a ton-a ton and half-two tons
per square inch. During this time a
cracking sound behind the cartridge has
been telling that the pressure shown on
the gauge has had the effect OF shearing
off the coal at the back, the sprays or
holing props being kept in their place
in front. The gradual way in which
the work is done, without shock or jar
of any kind. prevents any damage TO
the roof of the shaft in striking con
traSt to the action of explosives of any
kind. The whole opera tion of loosen
ing tons of coal requires less than
/ twelve minutes from the time of plac
ing the cartridge in the hole to the
breaking down-of the lump. InaSmucl
as the holes can be placed further
apart than when blasting is done, q
much larger quantity of coal can bt
taken off at time, and thus the pro
ductiveness of the mine can be increas-
ed, and the advantage of being able
to do without explosives cannot he
overestimated when the saving of life
is taken into consideration.

Stop! Women,

ills to a vvoman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases

sician, male or female.
You can talk freely to woman when
1t Is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, a man does
not understand, simply because he is
man.
MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness areinvited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by

talk of her private illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinlxham and

been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that

In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely anywoman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer of assistance.
