OF newly invented miners lamp that
Is fed by electric current from pock-
ct storage battery. This battery, we
are told, is as handy as an oil canteen
and 1t Is as unbreakable, being ar
mor-clad" with sheet steel. The charg-
Ing rack Is so arranged that the bat
terry Is left in It on the way out 30
that the miners use their batteries
IN the same way as the checks employ
ed as timekeepers. BY looking at the
rack given miners presence or ab-
sence can be told at once, as the bat
teries are all numbered to correspond
with their users.
Wet mines will not affect the lamp,
as the body is made of aluminium and
Is waterproof. Furthermore. the body
OF the lamp is filled with a special
composition. making 1t possible to use
the light under water.
The voltage of the lamp being only
two volts, 1t is claimed that there is
no danger Of any sparks at the time
the contact is broken in any part Of
the device; as consequence, 1t is
said to be impossible to cause an ex-
plosion in gas mixture. In recent
tests, the globe used in the lamp was
purposely broken in a body of gas, to
ascertain If. when the globe breaks,
1t would ignite the gas; the results
showed that the gas could not be ig-
nited in that way.
The average estimated light of the
bulb used in the lamp is from 200 to
300 hours, or in other words about
the same as the average commercial
incandescent lamp. The life of the
battery is one or two years.
AS shown by the accompanying cut,
there is hook by which the lamp can
be attached to the cap the same as an
old lamp; when used this way, the
rings shown on the cable, can
be attached to the back of cap and
shirt, If desired. either with an
ordinary safety-pin or by stitching.
However, experience has shown that
the miners prefer to hook the
lamp on their shirt fronts or other
parts of their clothing.
The advocates Of this style of light
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1911-09-01

claim numerous advantages: 1. No
danger of igniting gas or possibility
of an accident while handling powder.
2. The Light cannot be blown out by
a windy shot or gust of air. 8. They
save much time that Is lost in picking
up and filling oil and carbide lamps.
4. There is no oil or dirt to grease
the hands and clothes, which Is a
great advantage. especially to engi-
neers and others who have to handle
papers and instruments. 8. 1t costs
less to use the lamp than 1t does to
use an ordinary oil or carbide light. 6.
The air in the mine will be clear and
pure, and there will not be smoke and
gas given off by carbide or oil lamps.
The fact that the light cannot be
extinguished by windy shot or 9TH
er concussion is distinct advantage
for many lives have been lost through
miners being overcome by afterdamp
while cropping their way in mine
after their lights have been blown out.
Should the battery weaken, the light
will not go out suddenly and leave
one in the dark.

Mexico City, Mex.-The return Of

In a preliminary agreement reached
at Hermosillo, between the leaders Of
the Yaquis and Vice Governor Guyon,

stipulates that the conflscated lands
Of the Yaquis in northern Mexico
shall be given back to them.
The Yaquis promise to keep peace
and protect the lives and property Of
both Mexican citizens and foreigners.
Adherence to this pledge means the
cessation Of bloody war that has
been waged for years between the In
dians and the Diaz government, and
which has resulted in the loss of
thousands Of lives and millions OF
dollars.
