NSURES SAFETY
IN DEEP MINES
Protects Lives by Showing Danger
Point in Gases

The apparatus shown in the accom-
panying illustration is intended espe-
cially for use in measuring the venti-
lating current in a mine or other place
where IL is desired 10 ascertain the
amount or velocity OF the air passing,
such velocity providing the essential
data from which the volume can be
calculated at any distant point or sta
tion, thus oftentimes acting 10 save the
lives of miners when the ventilation
fails to carry off the explosive gases
from the mine. Hitherto the accuracy
OF such instruments. particularly in
coal mines, has been affected by the
deleterlous matter carried by the at
mosphere in which they have 10 he
placed, such as noXiouS gases, mois-
ture smoke, greasy matter, exhalations
from a number of men and animals.
gases exuding from the pores of newly
cut coal and the like. The inventor OF
this apparatus, Joseph Thompson,
claims TO have overcome this objec-
ton by excluding all the deleterious
matter from the working parts OF the
apparatus, ard. while employing elec-

cold air admitted. increased heat must

ing and ventilatlng system recently de-
vised by George IL. Ennis solves the
problem in a much better manner than
is possible with the open window. The
main feature Of the apparatus, as
shown. is the installation of a central
ventilating shaft connecting with the
several rooms. Inside this shaft is
carried the direct heating pipe from
the furnace, with branches entering
each room near the ceiling. The hot
air naturally rises through the pipes,
and is discharged into the various
rooms, where it depresses the colder
air In the room, and this finds an exit
through the opening close TO the floor,
shaft. and passing out. Thus the cold
air is constantly withdrawn from the
room and replaced by the warm air.
Now, If the air for heating is obtained
through a duct leading from the outer
atmosphere into the furnace and thence
to the air shaft the system will be
found well-niGh perfect. In summer
this same system may be utilized TO
cool the air OF the rooms by displacing
the warm air in the building with the
cooler air from the basement.
