gency Of the mine rescue worh. Zach
has its headquarters in the chief city
of an extensive mining district, and
1t is kept in such shape That it can
leave any hour of the day or night
on Geographic summons to aid in a
mine disaster.
Each car is I'M by a crew Of
miners tUiined in rescue work. 1t is
differed by a mining engineer rs
chief and a mine foreman or mine
superintendent who has been eSpc-
cially trained for the purpose as as
sistant chief. 1t has also a Red Cross
urseOn and other men.
These cars are hospitals on wheels
and schoOlroomS on wheels as we'll.
While not busy in mine disasters, they
are taken from town to town in the
mining districts, and the mining engi-
neers give lectures to the whole body
of miners. showing them how to avOid
danger and giving them advice as TO
what to do in emergencies. In most
places the miners are persuaded 70
organize rescue corps. and these are
trained by the men on the cars. It
is expected that by the close Of this
year 5000 or 1000 men Will belong
to such corps. The lectures treat
also of the use of explosives, Of cleo
trical equipment and OF fire preven-
ton and sanitation.
Oxygen Helmets.
During my visit to the bureau of
mines this afternoon | vas shown
some of the oxygen helmets and other
machinery for use in these great mine
disasters. Each car has eight OF
these helmets. a dozen safety lamps,
as we'll as 1000 feet Of telephone wire
and a field telephone. The oxygen
helmets are SO made hat they can be
applied to the face and fed with oxy-
gen from a tank which is carried on
the pack. They are so fitted to the
head that not a particle of a or
other air outside this oxygen supply
can get into the lungs and the ar
rangement is such that a miner 50
equipped can remain, without injury
for two hours in Il room filled with gas
or fire damp. In addition to the OK
gen tank at the back, there is another
tank which contains certain chemicals
through which the air emitted from
the lungs passes, and is thereby re-
lieVed of its poisonous qualities.
Another in%tereting feature is d tele-
phone transmitter inside the helmet.
while a receiver is attached outside IL
to the ear of the wearer. a wire from
this extends to the surface, so that the
rescue man n the helmet while down
in the mine is in constant communi-
cation with the men at the surface.
The telephone wire is marked in fifty
foot lengths, and from the amount OF
wire used the men on top can tell just
how far way the men below are.
These helmets cost about 500
apiece. but they have proved to be in
valuable as was shown at the Cherry

Permissible Explosives.

The ~usine OF making explosives
is an important One. We have $50
different plants engaged in it and their
output is something like 500, 900, 900
pounds a year. They are Of different
grades and some so dangerous that
many people are killed by them. In
their transportation alone several
million dollars worth Of property is
annually destroyed. The government
is making tests Of the various kinds,
the work being done by Prof. Charles
E. Munroe of the George Washington
University, who is noted as an ex-
pert in the science, and by Mr.. Car
ence Hall of the bureau of mines.
These men have issued "An Explo-
sives Primer for Miners INC they
have tested a number Of explosives IN
the great Pittsburgh cyclinder, which
has been filled with gas and mixtures
Of gas and dust and Of coal dust alone
for his The gas and other
mixtures are set off by electric detO-
majors. If the explosive passes the
test, it is marked permissible. The
perm issible ones are now we'll Known
tc the miners and mine operators,
and the latter are glad to use them
to avoid the blame and damages that
might arise if other u~napproved eX-
plosives were used, to say nothing or
til eir desire for the good of the
miner.
In the European Mines.
SO far We have no laws requiring
the use of approved explosives only
1t is different in Europe.
france, Belgium and Great Britain
have long had commissions studying
and testing the various explosives,
and they have prohibited those
known to be dangerous. There are
about fifty different kinds which are
safe, and some of these have been
found incapable Of igniting a mixture
of fire damp and air, even with a
charge forty times as great as that
Of the old explosives, which invariably
caused an explosion. Belgium re-
stricts the amounts of the materials
that may be used, n the safety
powders there are rapidly driving out
the dangerous black powders Of the
past.
Belgium. France and Germany re-
uuire ell mines to furnish
ments for speedy aid to the injured,
and each must have rescue devices.
There are penalties for both oper-
ators and miners. and also mine m
spectors Who may close the mines by
Injunction if the laws are not COM
piled with. AS a result the accidents
are few. averaging much less per
million tons of coal than with us. As
ii is now We are killing six men for
every million tons Of Goa We get
out.
Mine Rescue Cars.
The bureau of mines has a number
of stations scattered through the
chief mining centers. and, in addi-
ton, it has recently put on six mine
rescue cars. These are PuHmans, es-
pecially equipped to meet every ext

sure them from explosions, from the
cavins in of the roofs and walls of
the mines and from the terrible un-
foreground fires that, in blazing
sheets. run from tunnel to tunnel. 1t
relates to the bureau of mines,
which, although established by Con-
gress only last year, has already
saved many lives.
King Goals Death Roll.
Old King Coal is a cruel old soul,
And a cruel old sou. is he.
Indeed there is no more terrible
monarch: He has 10000 slaves,
who are compelled to delve in the
darkness, and during the past twenty
Years he has sacrificed upon his sub
terranean affairs the lives Of more
than 10000 men. He killed more
than 5000 in 1907, and he IS now
numbering upward of 2.4OO a year.
In every coal camp Of 1000 miners
tour or five heads Of families annu-
ally lose their lives, and this to say
nothing Of the much larger number
VINO are wounded and MANNED. In
1907, in addition to the killed, al
most 5000 were injured, and Direc-
tor Holmes of the bureau of mines,
estimate hat from 5000 to 10000
are wounded OF killed by mine ac-
clndents every year, and that this
continues year in and year out, as
the go on.
The worst of it is that our death
rate and accident rate are far in ex-
cess OF those of the coal regions Of
europe, where the mines are much
oeeper and the workings far more
dangerous. In Belgium, which is
NOTED tor its deep mines, the aver
age death rate per thousand from
lsol to 1906 was only a little more
tnan one, whereas, we lost more than
three miners out of each thousand
employed during every one Of those
years. The death rate in Belgium is
now considerably less than one, and
II mas had a steady decline since
1ooo, when it was something like
ours Great Britain now kills about
one and three-tenths of a nan to it's
