EXPLOSIVE GASES IN MINES,
A French In.trumeDt For Measuring the
 Amount Present.

A French InstrumeDt For Measuring the
 Amount Present.
 Al the present time much attention Is being given in the various mining districts on the continent to the subject of fire damp and the best methods of preventing explosions in collieries where the prodGction of dangerous gases isa possibility. In many of the dis tricts careful records are kept of the re- htion of the production of gas to the variations in barometric pressure. in or der that the fall in the pressure of the atmosphere may be used as a warning of possible danger. and in nearly every case care has been taken Co investigate the liability of the mining explosives to ignite the mine gaS.s. We have also noted at length the experiments of Heise and Thiem upon the conditions Snder which electric apparatus in mines may he source Cf ignition of explosive gases. and on the whole this important subject is being very thoroughly inves- tgated.
 In France especially the work of studying the explosive nature of various mine gases has bCCn carried on by Dr. Grehant. and m recent lecture pub rshed in the Bulletin de Ia Societe Encouragement he describes and ex' plains very fully the action of his SO called riSoumetrc " or apparatus for determining tho proportion of combusti' . ble gas existing in a sample of mine air submitted for examination.
 The principle of the griSOumetre is that of barniug the combustible portion of the sample of air by an incandescent spiral of platinum wire. measuring the reduction m volume and deducing by the difference the proportion of fire damp which must have been present The measurement is accomplished by having the combustion chamber form the upper part of a graduated tube, SO that the only observations necessary are readings of the graduatons before and after the passage of the electric current but special precautions have to be taken to insure the eonstancy of all conditions, such as temperature and pressure. and the auxiliary devices for these purposes form essential parts of the apparatus. as Dr. Grehant clearly shOwed--London Standard
