generations during the fly season. The

Therefore every fly killed early in the
season, when they emerge from their

Mines That Burn For Years.

Mines That Burn For Years.
A number of good sized mines are
now on fire in the United States and
have been for years. The Vulcan mine
on the Green river, opposite Newcastle.
In Colorado, has been on fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about 80 persons lost their lives. All
efforts to quench it have proved fruit
less. In Butte there is a mine which
has been afire since 1884. 1t has been
treated with carbonic acid gas gener-
ated on large scale, quicklime and
acids and all the sitting devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect.
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines, and in one
place where the outlet Of natural gas is
very great the spectacle it affords Is of
surprising interest. For miles around
a great tower of fire may be seen day
and night, and the dense black smoke
which it gives off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How a mine gets
aflre is easily explained, even though
the greatest precautions are taken to
prevent it. Coal seams exude a gas
varying In quantity according to the
pressure and the quality of the deposit,
which gas when mixed with air in Ger
tain proportions Is about as explosive
as gunpowder.-New York Post.
