Are Approved BY the United.
States Bureau of Mines
Enthusiast icaIIy.

WASHINGTON, d. C., July TO-
The United States Bureau OF Mines.
which Is continually in active search
Tor some invention which win reduce
1.-The large death rate among those
who descend into the bowels Of che
earth TO bring forth. coal, recently
approved s1ye new devices which 1t is
enthusiast ically claiming will largely
reduce the death rate from accidents
which seems to be Inevitable in this
particular field of labor. Greatest
emphasis is laid on the value to OPP
terators OF the first device, an oxygen
apparatus contrived for the use Of
miners and rescuers after an acci-
dent. The new device Is said to be
at least; twenty pounds lighter In
weight than the German intention.
which has been used heretofore, and
which has resulted In the deaths Of
at least three rescuers in the last
year. A marked improvement also
Is the arrangement whereby the pois-
onous exhalations Of the breath are
SO governed as to permit continue
GUS flow Of the expired air. Hereto
fore the equipment has provided
oxygen for periods Of two hours: only.
and not enough Of that to sustain q
imam when running at full speed, az
is sometimes necessary in case Of q
burning mine.
Besides its utility from the stand
point of safety, the new device, It u
claimed, will carry with 1t reduc-
( ton of at least two.thirds In It's
cost.
The, second invention Is new
type of valve, SO constructed that
the oxygen pressure can be regulated
by the wearer Of the apparatus and
there will be no waste oxygen
through a relief valve as in the pres
( ent devices.
A collapsible mining cage, which
lis simply collection Of curved and
straight bars, fastened together
with bolts and rivets, q platform and
hood, all OF which can be easily as
lsembled after an accident, is the
third device, designed to PC ready for
immediate use in case of accidents
where the mine cage is shattered by
explosions or otherwise unfit fortuse.
and where delay in preparation
would cost the lives of possibly hun
dreds Of miners.
The fourth is an electric signal,
by means Of which the man descend
ing the shaft after an accident will
be able to signal to the engineer.
The fifth invention applies more
to the field Of oil operators than
coal. and is avalve regulating Inc
flow OF oil, water or gas, from wells
and 1t is estimated that the proven
ton Of wSste which this viii bring
about will be the means Of saving
millions Of dollars every year.

one OF the chief sources Of concern In
the state Department was the restoration
Of telegraph,c communication with the
Mexican capital.
With every telegraph wire down the
state Department is relying upon a Ger
man wireless outfit at Mexico city, which
II is hoped. may serve to restore and
maintain communication between the
capital and the outside world. No assur-
ances had been received tonight at the
State Department that the German wire
less was in workable condition, nor were
there even delayed messages from this
uncertain service to suggest Its reestab-
lishment
The British Embassy here obtained
word from Mexico city In some way,
though. that the reason for the arrest of
so many Americans by Huerta was the
report that the Americans were not per-
hitting Mexican non-combatants to leave
Vera Cruz. The State Department inn
mediately took steps TO correct this i'm
preston. The British Embassy was
asked to aid and Secretary Daniels issued
orders to Admiral Badger to proclaim,
the fact that all Mexican non comba tants
were free to leave Vera Cruz.
