ago, Il men were imprisoned in a coal
mine as the result Of an explosion.
Forty men went to their rescue, and
all persisted In the recent catastrO-
phe at Cherry, Ill, y men went down
into the mine to attempt a rescue. No
signal coming from them after they
reached the bottom Of the shaft, the
car that took them down was brought
to the surface, and all Of them were
found in it. dead from suffocatiOn by
gas
Tried at BricevfIIe.
This is the sort Of thing which fs to
be prevented by the use OF birds. At
Briceville canaries were employed,
and not a single rescuer was overcome
With the help Of canaries or sparroWs
there should be no loss OF life worth
mentioning IN mine rescue work from
this time on, while a far greater num-
Der Of successful rescues OF tmpris-
oned men viii be accomplished,
the facility with which volunteers
can be utilized without danger to
themselves.
The bureau Of mines estimates that
every year more than 1000 men are
killed IN the coal mines OF the United
States and about $500 are injured.
The cost is one life for every 10000
tons Of coal dug out Of the earth For
every two men killed, one woman IS
made a widow and three children are
left fatherless.
Three and a half men are killed in
a year for every 1000 coal diEgers.
The average household IN. this coun-
try burns five tons OF coal per annum
Thus It. Is easy to reckon that the
fuel supply Of every 10000 families
costs one life every II months. It Is
one OF the taxes on civilization.
Coal Dust Explosions Worst.
Disastrous mine explosions are usu-
ally explosions Of coal dust. And yet
until very recently It was denied even
by most experts that coal dust could
under any circumstances explode. The
fact, however, Gas finally demon
strated by the bureau Of mines), IS
that coal dust when mixed with air is
as explosive as so much gunpOWder
and only needs fire to set it off.
This was one Of the most interest
ing Of the demonstrations made re-
Gently at Pittsburg, for educational
purposes, in the presence Of Mr.. Taft
and 10000 miners gathered from all
over the United States. An enormous
cylinder Of iron representing for ex-
perimental purposes a mine tunneD
was filled with air, coal dust-and
nothing else. Then. the president was
asked to t0Heh-it off by pressing a
button. When he did so "a small
quantity Of gunpOwder being used for
the purpOse), there was an explosion
so tremendous as to alarm most OF
the spectators very greatly-notwith-
standing the fact that the cylinder
was some hundreds OF yards distant
Immediately thereupon, while yet
the cylinder was filled with gases i'm
possible to breathe, men wearing he'll
NETS and carrying oxygen tanks on
their backs, walked coOlly into and
through titus illustrating IN the
most striking way imaginable the use
fulness Of such apparatus for mine
rescue work.
