Beyond the Miners.

Beyond the depth of 1000 feet the
under existing conditions, to be insur-
mountablc says Tit Bits.
Increase Of temperature is the chief
obstacle In penetrating to Il greater
depth than 1000 feet. At depth Of
only 5000 feet the temperature Of the
earth would amount to ninety-cight de-
greoS.
\ further depth of 420 feet is thought
possible, however. at which point the
temperature Of the air would be equal
to the heat OF the blood. This would
give II depth OF 3420 feet. beyond which
point the continued sinking of the
Shaft becomes purely speculative. but
It is assumed that depth Of 1000 feet
may ultimately be reached in coal min
ing.
The effect Of pressure is another OBJ
staclc. In the Deekintield collicry. at n
depth Of about $500 feet, the pressure
became so powerful that 1t crushed in
circular arches OF brick four feet In
thickness. and in one case n pillar Of
cast-iron. twelve inches square. sup
porting roof only seven feet in ex-
tent, was snapped In twain.
1t IS estimated by the Royal Coal
Commissioners that the English coal
fields contain beneath the mining limit
Of 1000 feet no less than 4S,4S6,000. 900
tons. This gives Il hint Of the hidden
stores Of coal beneath the workable
limits which science, combined with
invention. may some day find a means
Of bringing within the reach Of human
needs. -.
