DEADLY NINE GASES.
Their Action Upon the Flame of the
Safety Lamp.

The safety lamp, heavy metal lam
tern shaped object with circular
globe Of heavy plate glass, is the only
light other than electricity that can be
safely carried into a gaseous mine.
The lamps are lit before they are
taken into the mine and, in addition,
are securely locked, that no accident
or ignorant intention may expose tho
open fame to the gases of the mine.
Over small sooty yellow flame
which gives a light less bright than
that of an ordinary candle are two
wire gauze cones fitting snugly inside
the heavy globe, and it is through
these cones that the flame draws the
air which supports it. The presence of
black damp, or carbon dioxide, can
easily be detected, If not by its odor, by
the action of the flame, which grows
dim and. If the black damp exists in
any quantity, is finally extinguished.
White damp, the highly explosive gas
which is most feared, has, on the
other hand totally different effect.
In the presence of this gas the fame
of the safety lamp becomes pointed,
and as the gas grows stronger the
fame seems to separate from the wick
and an almost invisible blue cone
forms beneath it. If the miner con-
tinues to advance into the white damp
he will pass through a line in which
there are nine parts of air to one part
gas 0he explosive mixture), and the
lamp will instantly register this ex-
plosive condition by a sudden crack
ling inside the gauZe and the extin-
gushing of the flame. Were it an open
lamp the explosion ignited by the
fame would sweep throughout the en-
tire workings carrying death and de-
struction before 1t, but by the con-
struction Of the safety lamp the ex-
plosion confines itself to the limited
area within the gauze cones, and I'M
less the lamp is moved suddenly and
the fame is dragged through the gauze
at the instant that the explosion oc-
ours within the globe it will not ex
tend beyond the gauze.-Atlantic.
