DUST EXPLOSIONS IN MINES.

The recent disaster in an Iowa mine
was caused by dust" explosion. To
many the fact that dust explodes was
entirely new. and until the press re-
ports brought the news of the ex-
plosion and it's cause, entirely I'M
known. That dust does explode, and
with appalling force, Is fact we'll
known to miners. millers and others
whose duties bring them in the zone
of danger from such explosions.
Mine dust Is coal ground to powder.
: 1t is an almost impalpable substance
that floats thru every mine. the atoms
of coal ground and smashed by wheels
of cars. feet and picks, each atom i'm
pregnated with the molecule of oil at
bearings. The draft caused by the
fans that force air to the miner whirls
this dust into miniature cyclones. aided
no doubt by the meeting of the cold air
from the outside with the warm, WITH
ated air of the pits. A delayed shot"
long fuse, sustained flame for any
length of time. may ignite the dust and
cause an explosion which may bring
death and disaster in its train. The
terrible explosion at the Lost Greek
mine was brought on by a windy
shot" l. e., the blowing out from q drill
hole the powder intended to loosen a
certain amount of solid coal Such ex-
plosions are common in many mines,
but are usually confined to the room
or chamber where the blast is fired
Occasionally they ignite the dust thru
out the entire mine. with the result
that another mine horror finds place
in the columns of the daily press.
The above facts have been gathered
after careful inquiry. The state Leg
islature has been asked to create
special commission to Investigate these
explosions, but 1t would seem that that
duty should be done by the mine in
spectors, who are fully empowered by
the statutes to look in this subject.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Editor Fay, of the Clinton Advertiser,
is going to Cuba to study the needs of
the island and report thru the columns
of his paper. This leads the Dubuque

DIVISION ON TARIFF MODIFICATION.

There appears to be a breach grow
ing between Speaker David B. Hender-
son and some of the republicans of his
home district at Waterloo. 1t is on the
expediency of attempting slight re-
vision of the traiff at the present ses-
sion of congress. 1t may be recalled
that some of his supporters at Water
loo sent him a petition in which they
expressed the opinion that the time had
come for revision. and especially for "a
reduction or removal or all duties on
goods manufacturer In this country and
sold in foreign markets at less price
than at home" They also ventured to
remark that revision should be made
by the friends of a protective tariff
rather than by its enemies
After carefully considering this petit
ton from his home constituents,
Speaker Henderson made reply practi-
cally declaring that he intended to pur-
sue different policy. one on which the
majority of republicans of the national
house were agreed, that of leaving tar
If revision alone. He admits that mo
sane man Will attempt to deny that
revision might be wisely made of some
of the tariff schedules. Yet in his view
any such attempt would be productive
OF evil because of Its effect upon bust
ness.
This attitude does not please his Wa
terloo petitioners, judging by the ex-
pressions of the Reporter. That paper
quotes criticism of Hendersons atti-
tude from a Minnesota paper, the WI
mona Independent, which broadly init
mates that the great influence of the
head to an abnormal degree, while 1t is
left for inference that other develop
ment of q highly desirable character
has not kept pace with this accumula-
ton of arrogance and self Imagined
greatness" The Reporter admits this
by saying 1.-THE criticism of our Mime
sofa contemporary has found voice
many times OF late among the speakers
constituents. and many loyal sup
porter in the past has been compelled
to reluctantly reach the same conclus-
ions that the Independent jumps at
from the start" The Reporter also de-
clares that This feeling has become
so plainly evident that 1t is not surpris-
ing there is growing belief that our
present representative in congress is of
little use to his constituents, because
he does not try to be-
AS not only the Waterloo petitioners
expressed themselves in favor of modi-
fications of the tariff, Congressman
Henderson is out of touch with them in
the attitude assumed 1t is true that
Iowa is only one of many republican
states and hence 1T must yield to the
general voice of the party in congress
on any tariff attitude on which the par
ty as a whole decides to stand; and yet
the Iowa members are expected to rep
resent their constituents as far as pos
sible.
Even SO conservative paper as the
Sioux City Journal in noticing that
Henderson expresses the apprehension
that such undertaking as tariff modifi-
cation would imperil our prosperity,
does not hesitate to say: "The argu-
ment is addressed to the fear of the
country. But 1T is well to consider that
such fear would be impossible unless
founded upon lack OF confidence in

by the favored nation clause of ordi-
nary treaties. A specific authority by
congress which would reduce the tariff
on certain articles under certain cir
cumstances would become domestic
matter, and the treaty with Cuba would
merely be to carry into execution an
existing statute law. Aside from these
legal and political considerations it is
said that figures are now being pre-
pared by the bureau of statistics which
will show that the reduction of % or 80
per cent in the tariff rate on Cuban
sugar could have no effect on the beet
sugar industry in the United States for
at least ten years to come, and possibly
never.

vENTiLATING COAL MINES.
The Presence Of Fire Damp Adds to
the Cost.

In Great Britain the coal lies at very
great depths. In America a shaft Of
200 feet is considered fairly deep, while
enc Of 200 yards in England is but a
shallow pit, and some few workings
are nearly 1000 feet deep. The result
of this is that the cost of hauling the
coal out and the pumping OF large
quantities of water from great depths
make coal mining very expensive IN
Great Britain. A drift mine is more
cheaply ventilated than a shaft one,
and the mines are much more fiery in
England than they are in America
The presence of fire damp in British
mines greatly impedes the rapidity of
working and adds to the cost in many
ways. There are many stringent reg
uiatons to be carried out with view
to the prevention of explosions, which,
nevertheless, occur only too frequent
ly, and when they do they are usually
OF very serious nature, causing large
loss of life and property. Frequently
several months elapse before the mines
are in complete working order again
after such an accident. The cost OF
this loss of life and property naturally
is very great.

Centenary of Trousers,

Most people will be surprised to hear
that trousers, as at present worn by
the male portion of humanity, have
Just celebrated their centenary, but
according to fashion, such is undoubt-
edly the case. They "came in" ON ac.
count of the high living prevalent in
England hundred years ago. This
produced good deal of gout, whose
twinings the tight-fitting costume in
use at that period made unbearable.
Hence the invention of the wider
form of garment, which soon became
popular, and was adopted by many
royal personages at home and abroad
Among the "dandies" of the period
however, the new style was regarded
with contempt, and when Almack's
self was once refused admission be-
sort the great Duke of Wellington him
self was once refused admission be-
cause he presented himself in trousers
instead of the (for that time) orthodox
neither garments. So far has their
sway now extended that they threaten
to supplant even the Scottish kilt.
