SAFE LAMP FOR MINERS.
Inventor Proposes to Make Use Of
Liquid Electricity"

Tests have been conducted recently
with lamp that may prove a great
advance on the miners lamps now in
use in the coal fields OF the United
States. While the inventor has not
fully described his lamp in his demon'
gtrEti1ns, practical men have thor
CusEly investigated il and term it the
liquid electricity lamp" The lamp
weighs Eve and one-half pounds and
is not intended to hook on the miners
cap Instead Of the cap hook, it has .
large metal hook. which is to be
caught ON the mine wall and the heavy
glasses sighted toward the point where
the miner is working.
At a distance of ten feet 1t is possi.
bic to read a newspaper by it, and two
lamps in one room make It as bright
as day. By two sockets the lamps are
charged from a 110-volt dynamo To-
Gated in q separate room in the mine.
The lamps are intended to be placed
in this room after every working day
and are In charge Of a special work
man. familiar with charging them, the
charge lasting eight hours. The lamps
are expensive, costing In the nelghbor.
hood Of SIS each. One Of the features
that is most expensive is the small
tubes and film that meet at a point
where the light is projected The
breakage of these adds materially TO
the cost of the lamp. The miners are
somewhat divided as to the value of
tho lamp, many Of them obiecting TO
the weight in carrying 1t in and out Of
the mine, while all believe that It gives
a more perfect and satisfactory light.
The officials believe that the men will
overcome this dislike as they become
more familiar with the lamp.
