MlNERS'LIFESA SAVINGSERVICE
United States Bureau Of Mines Has
Constructed Six Cars for
Rescue Work.

Washington, Nov. /. - A lifesaving
service for miners In time of disaster
is about to be inaugurated by the
United States bureau of mines. Six
especially constructed cars, each
manned by corps of miners trained
In rescue work and equipped with the
latest rescue apparatus, will, within
few days, be located in the midst of
the great coal districts of the country.
These cars will be ready at a mo-
ments notice to proceed to the scene
of disaster.
This is the first important step TAX
en by the new bureau of mines In its
efforts to reduce the great loss Of life
in American coal mines. In 1909 there
were 2,412 miners killed in the coal
mines and 1879 injured. In the coal
and metal mines it is estimated that
1900 men we're killed and 10000 we're
injured in 1909.
For every 1000 men employed, from
10 5 are killed each year in the mines
Of the United States. In foreign coun-
tries from to 2 are killed in each l..
900 employed. In those European coun'
tries where the deaths are least per
900 men employed, rescue apparatus
has been in use for some time.
A general education will be carried
on by the bureau among the miners.
who will he taught not only the use Of
the rescue apparatus, but also the
proper way to take care of an injured
miner.
4 mining engineer and surgeon OF
the American Red Cross will accom-
pany each car and deliver Illustrated
lectures on the use OF explosives, cleo
trlcal equipment fire prevention, SAN
itation and first aid surgical treat
ment.

GREAT GATES FOR PANAMA
They Will Be as High as six-Story
House and 65 Feet Wide.

Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-Gates now being
made for the Panama canal will be
the largest In the world. Any one Of
the 92 of them-for there are to be 46
pairs in all-will be about as high as a
six-story building. 65 feet wide and 7
feet deep or thick.
The structural steel that will go to
make them weigh $4,000 tons, or more
than eight times as much as was used
to build the Eifcr Tower in Paris. The
cost will be s5,5OO,OO0. The thous.
auds Of individual pieces, numbered
and fitted to go together as easily as
children's blocks. will be shipped by
steamer and with them will go more
than 400 skilled structural steel build
ors from Plttsburg to set them up. 1t
will take three years to complete the
job.
The location of the 46 pairs OF gates
will be: Twenty at the Gatun dam. on
the Pacific side; twelve at Pedro Mig
uol. and fourteen at Mirafiores, near
the Atlantic entrance. The gates are
designed to hold back water Al feet
deep, in a channel 40 feet wide.
Each lock will be ample FOR ship
30 per cent larger than any vessel
afloat, and 1t has been estimated that
rs many as a hundred ocean-going
ships may be handled In a single day.

TOMBSTONE WINS OUT
Goes Up STA Feet, which Is
the Worlds Record.

For the First Time in the History Of
Aviation the People in America Saw
an Aeroplare Disappear from View
in a Cloudless Sky - White Flew
Faster Than a Mile a Minute, Win
ming a $4,000 Purse.
New York, Nov. /. - Ralph Johns
tone, who has been flying Wright BIZ
plane for the Wright brothers since
last spring, yesterday afternoon
brought the international aviation
meet at Belmont park to a close by
breaking the worlds record for aero
plane altitude.
tombstone climbed to 4 height Of
e.714 feet or 52S feet higher than an
neroplane ever has been sailed before.
Previous to Johnstone's world record
climb, the worlds record for altitude
in an aeroplane was 9,1S6 feet. 1t was
made at Mourmelon lie Grande,
France, two months ago yesterday by
Henri Wynman a Dutch fiier who, like
Johnstone, also flies a biplane. Johns
tone was in the air about one hour and
a half, but all except the last few hun
dred feet Of Johnstone's climb were
made during his first hour in the air.
For the first time in the history of
aviation America saw an aeroplane
absolutely disappear from view in
cloudless zenith.
Johnstone Was Lost to View.
While tombstone was lost to view in
the clear blue of the autumn sky over
the center of the field. ]. Armstrong
Drexel climbed into the air in mono
plane, a 5O-horsepower Bleriot, to take
the grand altitude of the meet away
from tombstone DreXel ascended
more than a mile and half, but when
he reached height of 1878 or 98 feet
less than Johnstone flew last Thurs
day, an attack Of sickness and the
extreme cold told Drexel that he had
enough and he came down.
Claude Grahame-White of the Eng
lish team flew faster than mile
minute in his 100-horsepower Bleriot
in a special speed event and thereby
won a purse of $4,000 for the event.
"Johnstone was climbing all the
time" said Wilbur Wright after John
stones feat "and If he had had more
experience with the machine he could
have climbed the 2S6 feet more which
would have given him the 10000 foot
mark. The biplane will get that high,
higher hope, before long"
