Government Plans Experiments So 40
TO Minimize Danger.
A miniature coal mine in which ex-
plosions will take place for the pur-
pose Of observing what causes mine
horrors and the best methods of pre-
venting them and Of extending relief
when they do happen is to be estab-
lished in Pittsburg by the technologIc
branch Of the United States geological
survey. A site for the plant or school"
is now being selected by J. A. Holmes,
chief Of the technologic branch, says
the New York Tribune.
The most important part OF the min.
nature mine will be cylinder 100 feet
long and six feet In diameter, made of
armOr plate, in which the experiments
with explosives will be conducted.
The cylinder will be filed with the va
rious things which cause mine explo-
sions-fre damp and air, coal dust
and air, black damp and air, gases Of
various kinds, etc. Into these COM
binations a mortar will hurl the vari-
GUS things which cause the explosions,
such as dynamite. powder. naked
lamps, etc.
On the toP of the cylinder there will
be a large number of safety valves,
which viii be left open. 80 that the
explosions shall not wreck the cylinder,
the valves carrying away the greater
part Of the force of the explosion. An
observation house viii be located sixty
feet from the cylinder, and from that
point those making the explosions can
witness the results.
The miniature mine proper will be
fitted up exactly as a coal mine, with
the various leads and workings. TX
periments will be made in the mine
with the various gases, with a view
to ascertainlng how long the miners
can live In them and the best means
Of sustaining life II they are caught
Experiments win also be made with
various kinds of headdress, such as
are worn by miners In many parts of
Europe, which rescue parties shall
wear when they go into mines known
to be filed with deadly fumes.
Action on this plan was hastened be-
cause Of the reference to mine disas-
ters made by President Roosevelt In
his message and by the two recent
mine horrors. which blOtted out more
than 400 lives. Mr.. Holmes has made
list of the mine horrors of West Viz
ginia alone for 1906 and 1907. He
finds that in that time 697 miners lost
their lives.

WHERE AUBURN LOCKS ABOUND.
Found in Great Numbers in North.
eastern Part of Scotland.

Red hair is found in distinct excess
north Of the Grampians, and especially
in the northeast of Scotland. A sci
enlist who has made the question of
fermentation a special study, and has
just been helped to conclude a color
survey of the school children-over
50,000-of Scotland, announced this
as one of his results.
In most European countries, he said,
there is a distinct performance Of
one type over the others. In north
Germany and Sweden it is the blonde
type; in Italy the brunette. No such
performance is found in Scotland.
Dark hair and fair are present in
equal proportions. The dominant col
or among Scottish children is brown,
and 1t has to be shown how far brown
il really a blend of fair and dark.
The proportion of red hair through
out the country is little over per
cent.-high compared with the con-
tinent One cannot overlook the ref
erence of Tacitus to the red haired
Caledonians. Some curious facts
brought to light suggest that red hair
is not entirely or strictly racial

cry waists, are best made of India silk.
They are cut from good shirt waist

plain or with three backward turning
plaits at the shoulder at either side Of
the front. The plaits are to give full

essary that the waist fit perfectly

slip should be fastened invisibly up

the slip into belt or to cut 1t off ut

SCENTED BUDS FOR THE BATH.
Real Luxury That Is Now Within the
Reach of All.

A perfumed bath is the top notch Of
luxury, and it is more refreshing than
plain soap and water. The woman
who signs after scented bath is now
delighted in the little perfumed buds
that are sold for this purpose.
They first came out in very tiny
form for finger bowls and were used
instead of natural petals. as they gave
much sweeter perfume.
Now some of the druggists have
these buds in larger forms in boxes
holding %, either of different scents
or all Of the same odor.
Two of them dropped into bathtub
full of water will give delightful per-
fume, and no woman can fail to feel
more refreshed after day of heat and
fatigue If she goes to the expense OF
having such a bath.
The buds are in the form OF waters
and they are heavily scented, 80 that
when they dissolve In the water 1t is
as though bottle of extract had been
poured in.
By the way, box Of these would
make charming Christmas gift fol-
