In actual practice it has been
found that 4 on. Of calcium car
bide at 4 cents per pound will
give nearly 10 candle power clear
illumination without smoke for 8
hr. One-half pound, or 2 cents
worth, will give the same illumi-
nation for 10 hr. Candles in many
parts OF the country, counting four
candles to the 10 hr. day, would
cost 5 cents per day.
Acetylene miners lamps are now
frequently found i'll mines through
out the county, PENNSYLVANIA.
New Jersey and Illinois leading,
though many other states are
using the new light. The greatest
number used by any one concern
in its mines is probably by the
New Jersey Zinc Company of New
York, which has adopted acety.
lene illumination for all its mines
The number of miners lamps il
the mines of this company is about
5000, and it has been found in
practical use that the saving is nj
least cents per day for every
miner. The whole method OF
using acetylene is simple and the
lamps now in practical use are sc
satisfactory that the subject OF
better illumination in mines is
worthy OF the attention of every
mine owner and engineer.

been used in miners lamps in
France, Germany and Belgium to
a large and steadily increasing eX-
tent, until at present it is used al
most exclusively in over 200 mines
and by approximately $4,000
men. The light is satisfactory and
saves nearly so per cent. Of the
cost, giving more and better light.
Mining engineers have been more
or less familiar with this fact, but
the introduction Of acetylene into
mines up to the last two years
has been very slow in this country.
Its use is now, however, coming to
be recognized as an important add
vance, and it promises shortly to
replace all other means Of illumi-
mating, except in special cases.
1t is seldom that an improvement
in quality or advantage is ac-
cOmpanied by reduction in cost,
but the paradox is a reality in the
case of acetylene.
Candles, which are largely used
throughout our Western mines,
remove seven times and kersenc
five times as much oxygen rs
acetylene. The products of COM
bustion given Oft by candles are
10 9imes and from kerosene 9 times
as much as that given OFF by
acetylenc. The difference is
therefore enormous. The actual
amount of illumination given by
candles and Kerosene is leSseneu
by very large percentage by the
smoke and mist which so rapid
accumulate, whereas all the light
given 10y acetylene reaches the
point to be Illuminated without
any interference whatever. Co.
1t has been found in actual ex-
perience that in entries which are
60 to 20 it. ahead of the air, there
is mot the slightest particle OF
smoke from an acetylene lamp and
the entry is just as clear at the
end of Il shaft as it is at the be-
ginning.
An interesting thing about
acetylene is the teuacity of the
flame. 1t is not easily blown out,
the rapid motion OF the miner will
not cause it to flicker badly, and it
burns brilliantly in an atmosphere
SO foul that candles fade and go
out. IN fact, acetylene Will not
deprive the miner of light until
the atmosphere is so bad it will
not support life.
For underground surveying and
mine inspection. the use of acety
Iene IS of great Importance. Maps
and records escape the usual ac-
compartment ofgrease and smudge.
The acetylene flame is so small and
clear that it affords an accurate
point on which to sight instru-
