Professor. Harold Jacoby. head of the
department of astronomy. Another
experiment of the same kind will be
given. next Wednesday.
Foucualt was one of the greatest

4 CCIDENTS in coal mines of the

The death record among the coal
miners during the year was greater

AVE been the worst year in the his

The figures do not represent the

we're not received from some states
having no mine inspectors.

and production of 1892 tons for
each life lost Alabama was third
with q death rate of ~ per 1000 and
a production Of 92.535 tons for each
life lost. Missouri had the lowest
death rate, heading the roll Of honor
with SIS and 4ss.742 tons Of coal
mined for each life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total
number reported during the last year
947 deaths and 343 injuries resulted
from gas and dust explosions and POI
deaths and 416 injuries were caused by
powder explosions.
The chief cause Of death among
the miners. the report explains, was
due to the falling of mine roofs and
coal. Such disasters caused 1,122
deaths and 2.141 injuries.
E. w. Parker, chief statistician OF
the survey. asserts that much benefit
will result from the action of congress
in appropriating $4,000 to inyesti-
gate mine disasters. He says one OF
the greatest needs Of the coal-mining
industry is the enforcement Of mill
tary discipline in the operation Il the
mines.
