TE STING EYE SIGHT
or MINE FORElNEN
And Fire Bosses in State to
Find Out Who Are Able to
Detect Gas.

CHARLESTON, oct. 1.-THE eye
sight OF all mine foremen and fire
bosses in West Virginia is being
tested, so that they Will be fully quail
ified to detect gas in any place in
the mines they examine.
An order to this effect was issued
a few days ago by Earl a. Henry.
chief of the mining department. af-
ter conference with coal operators
in various sections of the state. The
operators fully approved OF Mr.
Henry's ideas on the subject. and
advised him to issue an order to have
them carried out, and they promised
their hearty cooperation.
sIt Is apparent" says Mr.. Henry,
"that the men charged with the work
of making mine examinations should
have so nearly perfect eyesight as
locomotive engineers, who are re-
ouired to be able to distinguish the
difference In the coIors OF danger
signals along the railroads. This is
only the matter OF taking the nee
essary precautions to have the. mine
foremen and fire bosses fully quali-
fed in their peculiar kind of work
For the last two weeks chief Hen
ry has been holding mental examina-
tions In various parts of the state.
and those candidates who have
passed these examinat atfons are being
sent to competent physicians near
their homes for eyesight examination
To those who satisfactorily pass the
second examination certificates Will
be given. The results of. the eye
sight examinations are being for
warded to the mining departm ent.
and Chief Henry declares that there
are only a Few cases where the eye
sight of the men has been found so
defective as to warrant certificates
being withheld.
It is explained. that In many cases
the presence OF gas in working places
would be detected by It's effect upon
the flame OF the safety lamp were ~

bosses we're unable TO see IS well sas
they should. 4.
