UNIQUE GAS DETECTO2.

Mechanical Device Gives Warning of
Fire Damp In Mines.
A new device for detecting fire damp
in mines has just been designed by
two young chemists. junior teachers in
the Technical college in Sydney, Aus
tralia. The new detector is simple
and portable apparatus designed for
the purpose Of detecting and indicat-
ing the presence of fire damp and 9TH
er dangerous gases in coal and other
mines. Its warning is given either
by a loud sounding alarm bell or by
the flashing into view of red glow
light.
The makers of this simple contriv-
ance have based their procedure upon
Gratham's law of the diffusion of
gases-namely, "all gases tend to diff
fuse into one another at definite rate,
which varies in an inverse ratio to the
square root of the density of the
gases" Taking also Ansell's fire damp
detector as an additional starting point,
the inventors have succeeded in pro
curing an efficient instrument which an
inspector or miner may carry in his
hand and test with ease and certainty
the air in any heading or at any work
ing face.
The apparatus consists merely of a
piece Of glass tubing bent into U
shape. with the lower curve flattened
One leg of the U has an ordinary shell
funnel at its upper end, and the open
mouth Of this is covered by a thin
disk Of plaster of paris. mixed thin,
so that in drying it remains porous
The other leg is crowned by small
reservoir containing additional mer-
curry, with a little glass tap to allow
the metal to be run into the bent tube
below as and when required. Through
each lower leg there Is passed fine
platinum wire, that Of the funnel
crowned one being about half an inch
below the level of the other, and i'm
mersed in mercury. which fills the
bend of the up to its level. Each
wire is connected to the poles Of an
ordinary battery cell. and thence eff
fective connection is made with either
an alarm bell or colored light. When
the detector is brought into the pres
ence of an admixture of gas and air
the foreign gas permeates the plaster
of paris shield and depresses the mer-
curry column below. This naturally
causes the mercury in the other leg of
the U to rise, and its rise brings it into
contact with the platinum wire just
above 1t. This slight contact is sulli-
Client to complete the circuit and set
either bell or danger light to work. So
sensitive is the apparatus, as shown
by tests during a recent exhibition. it
can be adjusted to give warning of the
presence Of such n small proportion
as 2 per cent or even less of an I'M
desirable gas.

Recently warning was sent from
American Federation of Labor head
quarters in Washington to labor pa
pers and the unions cautioning them
against entering into business rela-
tons with irresponsible men who are
travelling about the country getting
out special editions. This warning was
issued because in several instances
these men had gone into various cities
and after securing the Endorsement of
the central body would take advertise
ments Unfortunately and fail to full
fill the obligations they had entered
into. Information has come to head
quarters that another scheme has been
concocted.

placed around the Autographs as a

the proceeds with the union from
which he got the Endorsement. 1t is
stated that in numerous instances
these obligations have not been full

FOR UNIONISM.

The next great day in the la
Dor calendar is Labor day. which
will fall on Monday, Sept. 4. The
eyes OF the whole world are at
this time fixed on organized la
Dor with close and critical in
spection. and it behooves all adj
) herents of the movement to do
their best to make a creditable
showing on the day of its annual
public display.
Now let us all get to work and
prepare such a celebration of the
approaching holiday of labor as
} has never been seen. 1t will we'll
reward the effort in the enjoyment
) of the day. in the self satisfac-
ton that will follow attention to
this great duty. and in the re-
suit in public appreciation of the
strength. vitality and high pur-
poses of the labor movement.
Who can hang back when the
greatness of what is at stake is
considered? By all means let us
begin at once a long pull.
strong pull and pull all to-
gether for the good of organized
labor.

Coopers In Fine Shape.

Information has come to hand rom
the secretary treasurer Of the Coopers'
International union that business in
the cooperage trade throughout the
country is exceedingly good and that
there are no idle men-in fact, there
is dearth of men. This organization
has signed up numerous contracts re-
GENTLY. every one of which gives a sub
stantial increase in wages and the
shortening OF the workday to eight
hours. These agreements have all
been secured without strike except in
One instance. that in Chicago. which

LABOR DAY.

Before any central labor body
decides upon giving up the now
generally accepted features Of
Labor day demonstration, in
Guiding the parade. meetings and
addresses, let its delegates dis
cuss what would happen if these
observances should be abandon
ed for single year in all the
cities of the country. Opponents
would declare that the labor
movement had collapsed. non
unionists would no longer on la
bor's own day be made to feel
the reproach Of their absence
from among the defenders of
their rights. the press would re-
main silent where it now is
helpful vehicle for the cause of
unionism. and much Of the OPP
portunity and occasion for our
propaganda of unionism would
be lost.-Samuel Gompers.

the disposition shown of recent years to
cut in with some secular form of enter

prizefight or wrestling match or boat

ceded to belong to the hosts of labor.
