The danger Of explosions In m,pas
Is not entirely confined to infiammabls
gases, carelessly managed fuses and
neglected charges or cartridges II
has been observed in the Derbyshire
lead mines that some of the great
rocks are Liable to burst on being
scratched with a pick. The explosion
Is supposed to be due either to gases
enclosed in the rocks, or to molecu.
lar strains. Last December a severe
explosion Of slate rock occurred in
mine at Hillgrove, New South Wales,
and the shock was felt for a mile or
two over the surrounding country. In
this instance 1t is believed that the
rock wall where the explosion oc-
CURED was subjected to a mechanical
strain.
The best results yet attained in the
various attempts that have been made
to produce Wearable cloth from
paper are said to be those produced
by a patented process employed In
Saxony. Narrow strips of paper are
spun into yarn, which may be woven
to form cloth. Better results are OBJ
tanned by spinning paper and cotton
together, and still better cloth is made
by combination Of paper and wooen
yarns. The fabrics do not possess
the strength and durability of ordi'
nary cloth, but useful clothing ID
made of them at a low price. They
may even be washed without injury.
Yarns are also made from WOol-pulp,
although their manufacture has nos
yet attained commercial Importance.
One Of the sights of the Great Salt
Lake of Utah, developed by the pro-
gress of scientific industry, is the sys"
tenn of immense salt-making ponds
ON the shore Of the lake. At SaltalF
the lake water is pumped into great
settling basin, where the impurities
fall to the bottom, and, containing
much iron, form reddish deposit
From this basin the water Is drawn
off into Harvesting ponds" averaging
10000 square yards in area, and SIX
inches In depth. The ponds are kept
supplied with water, as the evapora'
ton goes on from May to SEPTEMBER
when the salt harvest begins. The
water having disappeared, a dazzlns
layer of salt, two or three lncnes
thick, Is found covering the bottom VI
the ponds, which is broken up WIN
plows before being conveyed 10 'ns
mills, where the final crushing an"
winnowing are done.
