1t is not uncommon in mine work
mgs. where the ventilatmg current is
sluggish. to find Il Stratified condition
of gas either at the roof or the floor of
the mine, according to the density of
the gas in question. Blackdamp will
often stratify in this manner in n
swamp of the roadway where the air is
dead; and SO well defined will be the
plane of stratitication of the gas that n
lamp will be almost instantly eXtin-
Eushed by the movement of an inch or
two vertically downward. The writer
has experienced gas thus Stratitied
where the lamp would burn freely above
.he plane of Stratitication of the gas,
out if lowered an inch would be eXtin-
:uishcd.
Were it possible to observe what was
taking place in Il roadway under these
conditions, we would probably find a
continual inflow Of gas along the floor
of the roads leading to this swamp,
while Il certain portion of the gas was
diffusing into the air above and being
carried away. The same thing in n
measure occurs in the accumulation OF
Il body of marsh gas or tiredamp at the
roof of workings. The body of gas or
Grcdamp is continually augmented by
an inflow of gas along the roof, while Il
certain portion of the gas is diffusing
into the air current and being carried
away. Efficient ventilation in each of
these cases requires Il more active air
current, and depends upon the mechan-
ical action of the air in sweeping away
the gas to prevent such Accommodations,
1t Is possible to have a cavity so formed
in the roof, and having such il relation
To the airway through which the air
current is passing, that the body of ac-
cumulated gas which it contains will
In such Il case the gas is supplied by
II feeder in the roof strata, and the aii
current is not brought To bear directly
upon the body of the gas, but there Is
n continual outflow of gas in Il thin
stream along the roof, that is being
carried away by the current. If Tho
outflow of gas from the cavity wnere il
has accumulated is considerable, bul
still less than the discharge from th,
feeder, the chances are very good foi

The men are much keener in anticipat-

are seen to be Objectionable, while the
women make but little progress in this

The Japanese child wears loose gar

that time they are discarded and his
clothes are bound around his waist
with girdle. The girdling ceremonies
are public and are accompanied by
very elaborate religious rites. On that
occasion he receives new name. His
