Coal-Mine Safety Devices
By GEORGE E. WALSH.

IN the effort to eliminate so far as
possible the dangers of coal-mining,
the fuel division of the Geological
Survey has been for some time con-
Quoting experiments with a number
of devices intended to save the lives
of miners. Gas and coal-dust explo-
sions in mines exact a heavy toll of
lives nearly every year. England and
Belgium have had few casualties
from this source, owing to extreme
precautions, although belgian mines
are notorious for the presence Of fire.
damp. AS a result of experiments in
England, there are number of per
missible explosives used, and no
others. and there is also limit

by the miners or mine-owners under
pain of severe penalty.
One of the devices used in Euro
pean mines which will probably be
used here in the future is an appara-

pors. Statistics of mine disasters in
this country show that many terrible
deaths from suffocation follow an ex-
plosion in a mine. II Immediately
after such an accident rescuers could
enter the mine to help the miners,
fully fifty per cent. of the fatalities
could be averted. The apparatus
which is used in European coal
mines is capable of sustaining life
where there is fire-damp or the poi
le"s vapors that follow explosions.
The device consists of canvas jacket
equipped with cylinders of COM
pressed oxygen, connected with the
operators mouth by a flexible ruD-
ber-lined metallic tube. The use of
tn oxygen is regulated by pressure
gauge. The exhalation of the opera
tor is passed through small Jumps of
potassium hydroxide. The carbon di-
oxide is thus absorbed and the re-

Mine explosions have been reduced
in number and seriousness in Belgium
by the compulsory use OF standard
miners lamps which are tested By
government experts. Many OF tho So

have been found inadequate. Under
severe tests in the government exper-
iment stations they have leaked SUI
ficiently to ignite fire-damp and coal
dust. Another point which the e.
perimental tests have developed is
that more explosions are due to Goa
dust than to flre-damp. The care
less use of explosives by the miners
themselves is common cause OF ex-
plosions and cave-in accidents. The
men in their hurry or carelessness use
too heavy charges and cause under
propping of the supports or produce
an explosion through the conclusion.
The ventilation of the mines is an
other great advance made in recent
years, which will soon be improved
much further. With the invention OF
electric fans and suction air-pumps
so enclosed that they are air-tight,
the deepest tunnel can be kept fresh

Ventura endeayored to induce the d.

trance behind the scenes. But to no
purpose.
On the evening in question, as Ara
belle was preparing her stage cos
tune, Guido saw note fall from the
corsage of her dress. He picked it
up unobserFed, and perused it eager
ly. 1t was from the American, filled
with expressions of endearment, and
proposing flight on the morrow.
Five minutes later the call boy an
nounced their turn. On their way to
the stage, Ventura beheld the Amer
lean leaning negligently against a
scene. Ventura gla-ed at him and
hesitated, but at that moment Ara
belle, who had made the entrance in
advance of him, stood prepared, the
arms crossed, the glass ball in posi-
ton on her head. With bitter oath.
but half-suppressed, Ventura turned
and strobe upon the stage.
Ventura was in position, the muz-
zle of his pistol covered the mark,
stiffness as OF death reigned in that
dense mass of human beings in front.
Arabelle smiled. On whom was
she smiling? On whom save the man
who rivaled him in her love? She
could smile on man who dared to
make such proposal! Heavens! she
would perhaps assent to it!
The silence was terrible, but it was
soon broken; quick, sharp report
rang out. Arabelle tottered and fell
heavily to the stage; the bullet had
pierced the centre of her forehead.
When the arms OF Ventura were
loosened from the corpse which he
held with an iron firmness to his
breast, he was raving mad!
Crime? Accident? One knew not
