cient methods of mine rescue work.
This lack will be supplied, it is be-
lieved, through the investigations and
recommendations of the new bureau
Of mines. Mine rescue stations at
Pittsburg. Urbana, H., and other
points have demonstrated their great
value in the protection of life and
property.
The most hazardous work of the
hazardous occupation OF coal miners Is
the firing of the blasting powder. or.
as It is known TO miners. shot firing"
The men who do this work are SINH
larly called ''shOt frers." They enter
the mine after the miners have COM
pleted their days work and gone home.
Invariably the shot firer rushes his
work. firing shots rapidly, creating
large quantities of gases caused by
the ignition of large charges of pow
der. Then comes an i'll placed shot
or badly judged shot, causing what
is known in mining parlance as
windy shot" thus providing all the
elements for an explosion, which in
variably occurs, causing loss Of life
and damage to property.
Recently there was patented an auto
matte electric "shOt firer" by Charles
I. Dodson of Kansas City, which, after
being put to the practical test or
thirty days trial in large mine near
Pittsburg. Kan, has been recon-
mended by the United States geolog-
lcal survey. The apparatus takes the
place of the "shot firer" and renders
unnecessary his services in coal
mine, thus eliminating one Of the
greatest dangers to life and property
In the mining industry.
The machine is a complete electric
plant and has no outside assistance.
I It consists Of specially constructed
clock and self exciting direct current
dynamo, with specially constructed
mechanical parts. The machine is
made to operate by inserting a key
and pulling up rack bar, which on
being released by the clock at any
time desired descends and rotates the
armature Of the dynamo by being con-
nected with gear wheels. 1t thus
generates current sufficient to explode
shots or blasts connected.

culties to Be Overcome.
'They may be able to raise the
Maine, but it's going to be a darn
tough job said Captain Louis Sorcho,
the great deep sea diver, who was one
of the eight chosen by the United
States government to go down in the
wreck of that i'll fated man-of-war i'm

Havana harbor on Feb. Is. 1898.
Havana harbor has no cleansing

huge basin. with a big niche on the
side of the rim, through which the wa
ter comes in and runs out Now, the
bottom Of the harbor. because of this,
is a mass of mud. and as the refuse and
dirt of the city are emptied here to
great extent and there is no current to
carry the filth away the stuff settles at
the bottom. To judge how bad the
condition Of the bottom Of Havana har-
Dor is l call attention to the fact that
ships are not allowed to anchor there,
buoys being provided, for If a boat
were to drop its mud hook when 1t was
pulled up 1t would stir up such a muss
that probably the way would be paved
for an epidemic.

pass the chains under the bottom?
You can't tunnel through mud as you
can through sand. II they should sue
coed in fastening the chains to the
sides and then harness on the steel
pontoons the lifting will be unequal.
Another way would be with air
bags. One Of the faults In this sys-
TEN is the absence of a valve to reg
ulate the air pressure to equalize 1t
with that of the water.
Cofferdam Method.
Another method is that of Golfer
dams. Either the dams are built in
side the ship, the holes patched and
the water pumped out or else they are
built all around the vessel and the
pumps set 70 work. AS 1t seems i'm
possible to get at the hole in the
Maine. the second method would be
the one used. and | don't see how It
can be done. First you must get a
firm bottom to hold il on, and the rails
ers would have to driye the whole of
that dam through that eighteen feet or
more of mud and then not be certain
as to what they would find underneath.
The pressure at the depth to which
the Maine lies is nearly twelve pounds
to the square inch. and so each square
foot of the dam when the water was
pumped out from inside it would be
subject TO a pressure of about lbs
pounds. Unless it was well braced II
rould not Withstand it, and there Is
apparently no way that braces can be
placed so as to hold it,
But let us suppose that this way is
attempted and the water pumped out,
who could live down there among that
disease filed filth?
Let us return to the system of clos
ing the vessel up from the inside.
There is one way of removing sand,
etc. from a ship, and that is by CEN
trifugal pumps, but in this case they
would be practically useless, for as
fast as they sucked out the mud 1t
would pour into the holes, and also be-
cause of the fact that there Is no cur
rent there the mud would settle back
on the bottom Of the harbor to be car
ried back against the sides Of the ship
with each fall"
