nave been going ON for the last two
years, he said. as to the influence OF
weather conditions. especially atmoS-
pheric pressure as indicated by the
barometer. upon the amount of gas in
coal mines. but the results obtained To
date have not been conclusive.
"As to the value OF warnings, pr
Holmes declared. that will depend
upon the way in which they are used
IT, as is hoped. they serve to make
miners and mine operators more care
full when these warnings are issued
and not less careful at other times
they may do good in mines where gaSeS
occur in dangerous quantities, If, how
ever. they should serve to make miners
and operators less careful during the
extended intervals between the receipt
of such warnings. the warnings may
increase the hazards of mining in these
coal mines and thus indirectly be the
cause of disasters. 1t should be re-
meInbered that IA large portion of the
mine explosions in the bituminous coal
fields are dust explosions, and most of
these occur In what are called nOngas-
eous mines. These will hardly be in
huenced by atmospheric pressure"
Professor Edward F. Bowie of the
weather bureau, who has studied the
questions. said there was no doubt that
atmospheric pressure increased or de
creased danger of mine explosions, de
pending on whether the pressure was
low or high respectively, and that in
England warnings similar to those pro
posed here had been issued for some
years. The bureaus conclusion. he
said had been the result of careful OBJ
servation. both abroad and in this
country.

the breeze, and you expect at any mo-
ment to see the dainty form of Juliet
appear and to hear a ripping laugh fall
from her lips.
A woman steps from the room be

stands to listen. She has a child IN

reau is notifying the mine owners
throughout the country that it will in
form them, if they so desire, when ex

clares that when there is a marked
fall in atmospheric pressure the
chances of mine explosions are greatly
increased"
