TO MAKE COAL MINING SAFE
Simple Test for Fire Damp Said tc
Be the Best That Has SO Far
Been Put Forward.

One of the simplest of the many
suggested tests for fredamp in mines
is that described by Henry Briggs to
the Scottish Society of Arts. 1t is
an attachment that may be applied
to any oil or spirit safety lamp, and
consists of a loop of copper wire sup
ported on brass rod passing through
the oil vessel. To make test the
loop is moved into the flame. This
becomes instantly non-luminous, but
if firedamp is present in the air the
gas cap is clearly seen. The test
can be made in a moment at any
time without turning down or put
ting out the light.
1t is claimed that the percentage
of fredamp this method will detect
is exceedingly small, and the results
of trials on both laboratory anC
mine go to show that this is one O.
the most sensitive, accurate and ex
peditious means of revealing tn,
presence of infammable gas in min,
OF other air.

SCHOOL FOR ADULTS.

peoples high Schools" as they
are called, have been fourishing in
Denmark for long time. In that
country there are 20 such schools,
with 5000 pupils, and one school at
Askov, in South Jutland, has been in
existence since 1868. One-tenth of
the popNation of Denmark, it is esti-
mated, has passed through these
schools, which now are given small
state subsidies, though there is no
state interference with the institu-
ton. The schools are not technical
or practical" They seek only to
develop minds on broadly cultural
lines. There are no examinations
for admission or for leaving; much
of the instruction is given by lee
lures, and the teacher is given wide
latitude.
Norway and Sweden, it may be
added, have experimental success
fully with similar institutions.

DOG TUGS AT BABY CARRIAGE
After It's Out Of Water He Jumps

Edwin Main Post relates an incl

Captain Andrew, known as Cappie,
and beloved and petted by every one,
but very fond of small children.
Cappie is very fond of taking a
swim in large pond near Mr.. Posts
house in Babylon, l.. l., and the

side of the pond for the first time
When about 100 yards from tho
shore he suddenly began to bark, paw

it was taken out on the bank, the dos

ROYAL MUMMIEs in MUSEUM
Once Mighty Kings and Queens Of
EGYPT Now Merely the Subjects
Of Scientific Examination.

The mummies of some fifty kings
and queens now lie side by side in
the Cairo museum, grim reminder
Of the unstable fabric of earthly
glory, remarks the Dundee Adver-
tiser. Professor Elliot Smith is not
wholly unmindful Of that earthly
glory, nor Of the violated sentiments
involved in thus displaying and cat
aloguing these remnants of royal
power. He reminds us that but for
the museum authorities these num-
mics would have been destroyed by
robbers, and as a slight return for
the protection thus afforded he
claims the right Of respectful sci
entifc examination. Indeed, the ex-
animation has already been made.
Many of the bodies have been care
fully unwrapped and so we know for
the first time that King Sagnounri,
who reigned 1000 B. c., was muir
dered, his BATTERED skull and
wounded body" testifying eloquently
to that fact. Doubtless the event
made quite a stir in its day, but tar
if discussion, prize fights and the
like have driven it from the modern
memory. We know now that Me-
nephtha, the Pharaoh of the exodus,
enormously supposed to have been
drowned in the Red sea, was a cor
pulent man, nearly bald, with a
fringe of white hair over the
temples.

NEW WAY TO MEASURE LAND
Tennesseesn Has System Of Weighing
Which May Yet Be Brought
TO Perfection.

A Tennesseean has discovered a
new way to measure large areas Of
land. He weighs it-rather, he
weighs his map and computes the
measurements from the scale rec
ords. Louis G. Mathey of Spot,
Tenn, writes to Engineering News
that he has for thirty-four years
been obtaining land areas by the
simple process of accurately plotting
the survey to scale on good paper,
then cutting away the paper outside
the boundary with a sharp knife and
weighing the folded plot Of the tract
on chemists or jewelers. scale ac-
curately to one sixty-fourth grain.
He sends a sample map of tract
of 1861 acres, plotted on a scale
of 80 rods to the inch on a sheet of
1Sx24-inch paper which weighed
AZ s-32 grains. Engineering News
comments:
"While the plan might serve as a
rough check on computations, the
limit of error in plotting and trim
ming, as well as in weighing, would
make the scheme only applicable
where land is of very low value"

SELFISH EYES.

Lee Shubert, the theatrical man

american ragtime is sweeping
Europe, but the American ragtime
composers get no credit, and no cash
either.
Hence our composers can't help
looking at this ragtime furore with
sad and perhaps selfish eyes.
"We look at everything, you know,
selfshly. We say with the million
aire:
Poverty is no disgrace, provided
the victim doesn't owe us anything"
