FRESH AIR FOR MINE WORKERS
A New Respiratory Apparatus Tried
in France.

From ILLUSTRATION.
The Society of Mines at Courrieres has
just undertaken in shaft No series of
experiments with a new respiratory appa-
ratus called pneumatogen. Every appa-
ratus designed for allowing the stay In a
deleterious environment must fulfill three
essential conditions: exclusive communica-
ton of the respiratory organs with a reser-
voir of respirable gas; together with a light
weight, sufficient capacity of this reservoir
to supply a man for a certain time; elimi-
nation of the expired carbonic acid, which
would poison the pure air.
The pneumatogen, which seems happily TO
realize these three conditions, is based upon
the method of the renewal of vitiated air
devised several years ago by NJ. George F.
Joubert. 1t consists of an India rubber bag
worn in front; about waist high, and sup
ported by a strap passing up one side of
the miners chest, around his neck and
down the other side. Into this bag by means
or mouthplece he sends the products of
respiration, which are compelled to go
oXylith. The oXylith, or stone of oxygen
has the property of retaining steam and
carbonic acid, while setting free a CORE
spending quantity of oxygen The vitiated
air, therefore, finds itself renewed when it
becomes stored In the bag.
The experiments made at Courrieres have
given excellent results. The miners fur
nished with the new apparatus have been
able to work more than two consecutive
hours in shafts where the air was absolute
ly unacceptable.

JERUSALEM. June S0.-Jaffa and Jeru-

The prince and his harem returned to

Smokeless and Noiseless Patriotism.
Fizz, sputter, bang-the blast of the horn

we moved along toward the glorious Fourth

more? And aren't all these demonstrations
and this getting up in the morning at an
outlandishly early hour altogether proper
ways of giving vent to enthusi-
asm over this land Of the free and the
home of the brave?''
Certainly, they are. Nobody ought to
object to such ebullitions of honest and
patriotic fervor. provided those who take
part in them do not become utterly OBJ
livious of the fact that fnvalids have their
rights as we'll healthy people. and that
ways stain the fair face of our national
birthday, which deserves better treatment
at the hands of those who call themselves
American citizens. On with the celebra-
items, then, but before they begin and
while they are going on, and when they
are over, let US now and then let our
thoughts rest a moment upon that which
underlies all the noise and excitement Of
Fourth OF July, apart from which they
would be as ludicrous and inconsequentiai
as the beating Of Chinese tom-tom.
Science is doing it's best today tosaover-
come or mitigate the smoke and the noise
which accompany modern industry. There
are coming to be other tests of genuineness
and efficiency besides those which appeal
powerfully to the eye and ear alone. Is 1t
otherwise In the realm of moral values?

greet that even temporarily there should be
any suspension of confidence between the

Lord Salisbury's attitude during the
United States war with Spain, the Ameri-
can attitude of non-interference during the
Boer war. and. above all, the identity of

Japanese war, had built up a most cordial
understanding between America and Eng

LONDON. June 3o.-Bishop Potter's re-
marks on British "gush'' and his assertion
that there is no love lost between the two
countries have called forth various COM
ments in the newspapers, both daily and
weekly, the consensus of opinion being that
the bishop ought to be the last man in the
world to complain of treatment received at
the hands of the Britishers because he has
been welcomed by the clergy and the lalty
as few foreigners have been.
In business circles 1t is thought that the
natural implication Of Bishop Potters re-
marks is that English confidence in the IN
teerity of Americans has been rudely
shaken by the disclosures of American
business corruption made during the two
years just past.
