THE LANDSCAPE
WITH ELECTRICAL COAL-DIG-
GlNG MACHINES.

It seems that the city of Staunton IS in
n limestone region. In fact, a bed of lime
stone fifteen hundred feet thick underlies
the town. AS I'm other limestone districts
there are subterranean streams, one OF
which had eXcavated a large cavern di-
rectly beneath the place where the cave
ins occurred The cavern grew In size
until the roof became too weak TO hold
itself up any longer, and then it fell In.
In the limestone region of Kentucky
there are hundreds Of underground stream
channels marked by cave mouths and sink
holes More than five hundred caverns
of various sizes are known in three coun-
ties In the vicinity OF the great Mammoth
Cave. over considerable areas OF Indiana
likewise more than nine-tenths Of the rain
fall is carried off by such streams, which
collect the surface waters largely through
hopper-s shaped depressons called sinks or
sinkholes.
Often the outlet of a sinkhole, connect
ing II with the stream below, is choked by
plug and the sink becomes first pond
or small lake, then a marsh, and later on
when filled In with silt, dry land. This.
in fact is what happened at Staunton. But
the cavern below remained, with the stream,
since located by borings for considera-
BILE distance. running through It.

scape fell In. owing to the pumping out
Of water, incidental TO mining operations.
Here again was q natural subterranean
cavern, and when the water was removed
the roof fell in. Owing TO similar causes,
near the Sand Ridge Mine, at Aurora,
great cracks resembling those caused by
an earthquake developed in the summer
of 1900
Such facts as these, already known,
served to shed light upon the causes OF
n very remarkable happening In the city
of Staunton, Va, where. in the summer
Of 1910. much alarm was felt lest q large
part OF the town was destined TO drop into
the bowels OF the earth. A series OF cav
ernous, crater shaped openings in the
ground appeared, one house fell through
and disappeared and various other asso-
ciated phenomena excited a not unreason-
able dismay.
The trouble began on the 18th day OF
August, when tho occupants Of a dwelling
on the south side Of Baldwin street heard
crash, as If directly underneath them,
whereupon the building suddenly shook
and sank four feet. In less than an hour
IL had sunk ten feet, a hole thirty feet in
diameter having appeared. and a tree
twenty-five feet high presently dropped
into the opening, vanishing entirely from
sight.

than ten feet thick, and the practice OF
"robbing" mine pillars, the only support OF
the surface crust, has been carried on 10
most dangerous extent. Often, indeed,
the greed of mining operators causes them
to remove pillars altogether to get the coal
they contain.
The usual method Of supporting mine
roofs is either TO leave solid pillars OF un-
touched coal for the purpose or else to use
stones the latter being built into a pile
without mortar or else thrown into n crib
resembling a loghouse in its style OF con-
struction. The principal objection to pill
lars of coal is that seams in the material
and variations in its texture may render
them faulty
Agitation Of the question here discussed
has brought about the appointment OF a
state commission to study mine cave-ns In
the anthracite region Of Pennsylvania, and
to furnish scientific data on which to base
definite and exact conclusions experiments
have recently been made at Lehign Uni
versity, in South Bethlehem, In relation to
the supporting power of pillars Of various
materials. For this purpose carloads of
materials-such as sandstone, coal, slate,
mine timber fire clay and crushed stone
have been shipped TO the laboratory at lie,
high and there built into model mine col
umns, the machine used 10 determine their

testing apparatus In the world, capable OF

NO BOTTOM HAS BEEN FOUND.
This, however, is not the only region
that suffers, as one might say, from un-
certaintics Of the landscape. At Neck
City Mo. in January OF last year, hole
suddenly opened under a millpond and a
great elm tree was literally swallowed into
the earth in cave so large that nothing
Of the tree was visible a few hours later.
The longest rope that could be obtained,
with weight on the end Of 1t for sound

Among the negroes of Staunton there
was a strong impression that the world

made to fill up the holes, particularly
that which threatened the engine house,
by dumping wheelbarrow loads OF rocks

fcctive as If one were to try to choke the
crater Of Vesuvius with pebbles. What
was finally done was to build a concrete
arch along the line of the openings thus
reinforcing the earth crust locally and
preventing further damage.
