snap relaxed slightly today. The snow

shed its feeble warmth over a vast

There is worse weather and more OF

New Idea for Mine Props.

A substitute for mine props which
has been tried and found to give every
satisfaction has been made by Edward
Seward, a Cardiff architect. The main
points about the new props are that
they are simple in construction, are
indestructible, and do not deteriorate
in water or damp. The chief compo-
nent materials are colliery cinders,
stone and crushed clinker, which,
when washed, manipulated, combined
and duly strengthened, result in a
prop the finished weight of which is
light enough to allow of efficient han
ding by one man.
