"HIccoUGHs OF THE SEA-
Scientists Explain Frequent Reports
Of Cannonading Heard In the
North Sea.

Paris.-The frequent reports, which
subsequently were not confirmed, that
heavy cannonading had been heard in
the North sea, have led to an investi-
cation by scientists. 1t was thus dis
closed that the reports of detonations
were authentic, although no firing took
place.
Scientists who were on the lookout
for a repetition of this phenomenon
were rewarded by hearing loud detona-
tions of the coast on a day when 1t
was known that no naval action what
ever was in progress. This phenome-
non was noted along the French coast,
of the Department of Pas-de- Calais.
Able Moreux of the observatory at
Bourges came to the conclusion that
these loud reports were simply what
the Belgians call "mistpoeffers," or ex-
plosions of fog. They are called "hic-
coughs of the sea" in Holland, and
sometimes are referred to as marine
bombs. The same phenomenon has
been observed on the banks of the
great lakes and on the great plains of
the Delta of the Ganges.
After the theory that these detona-
tons were produced by artillery had
been discarded, it was thought possible
that they were the result of electrical
discharges. Finally Able Moreux no
ticed that the appearance of this phe
nomenon was generally simultaneous
with reports of explosions of firedamI
| in mines.
| The electrical action of the sun upoI
the surface of the earth, the able says
provokes movements favorable to the
expansion of imprisoned gases where
ever there are assures in the crust.
These gases, liberated from thei
prisons, explode and cause at the sam,
time explosions of firedamp and earth
quakes. The able pointed out tina
earthquakes are always preceded b,
noises resembling distant detonation
of artillery. Vibrating shocks original
ing in the interior of the crust of tn
earth may produce sonorous wave
which are quite perceptible if the al
mosphere is in repose.
Able Moreux says that meteorc
logical conditions do not, as has bee
supposed, cause the phenomenon. a
though they may favor its production.

level to the east of the shaft-which
Is the lowest point to which the 20
foot bed has been exploited he
work has been done along the dip of
the bed and at the present depth at
tained, easily 250.0G0 tons of new ore
has been made available for extrac-
ton and certainly from this source
alone the mine will have at least
years supply.
Aside from this, the company has
been pushing Development in other
parts of the mine with most crafty
Ing results. The drift to the north
on the 400 level continues in ore.
On the sixth level, drift is being
run to the south to get under an ore
body for the purpose of extraction,
while cross-cut is being run ID
the south to catch some known ole
bodies
