Inspection of Vindex
Mine Shows Changes

Further precautionary measures to
supplement nearly a score of recent
safety Improvements in the Earl No.
2 mine at VindeX, Garrett county, are
proposed in a Federal coal mine in
spection report released by the Blu
reau of Mines.
The mine is operated by the Garrett
Coal Corporation, employs 81 men,
and produces 500 tons of coal daily.
1t was inspected last November.
For safer blasting and an improved
ventilating system, Inspector Joe Do
bashinski recommended incombustible
material for stemming explosives,
wooden tamping bars for charging
holes, staggering of blasting cables
at battery ends until ready to use,
added safeguards for the fan, more
air coursed through several crosscuts,
construction of incombustible stop
pings between intake and return air
ways, erection Of doors in pairs to
form air locks, maintenance of at
least two permissible flame safety
lamps, and preshift examinations for
gas and other hazards. He commended
the satisfactory storage of individual
explosives and detonator containers,
separate boX-type magazines for dis
tributing explosives and detonators
and the daily examination for eXplo-
sive gas by the mine foreman.
Recent beneficial changes also EN-
braced instructions in roof-testing for
underground workers, enforcement of
the timbering plan, reasonably clean
and well-drained haulage roads, dis
continuance of riding on top Of loaded
cars, guards for the vertical belts ON
the shop lathe and drill press, pro-
hibition of underground smoking. and
Other recommendation called for
the removal of some loose roof and
over-hanging brows, unobstructed
clearance along haulageways, shelter
holes at main-track switches, under
ground telephone service, underground
fire-fighting equipment, wearing Of
protective footwear by all employees
use of safety goggles for eye-hazard-
Gus work, posting of escapeway di-
rection signs, and guard for the
horizontal belt on the fan.

Scientists FindE odingC Corbor
In Baltimore Sewage Analysis

reereated, since all contained In the
original substance of the earth
would have disappeared in a few
years.
They explained the mechanism by
which this radiocarbon is created.
The eosmic rays, striking atoms of
the atmosphere, split their nuclei,
releasing high energy neutrons.
These, in turn, strike atoms of
nitrogen and transmute them into
a heavy form of carbon, the ele-
ment which is the building material
of all living things.
20 Tons Believed on Earth.
Based on the Baltimore sewage
measurements, they say. there must
be about 20 tons of the exploding
element on earth, while only a few
ounces have been produced by arti-
ficial means. Even if there was a
possibility of contamination of the
Baltimore material, they say, it
could not possibly have been suf1-
cient to account for the results.
Actually no artificial produced radio
carbon has been distributed in Balti-
more.
The exploding elements were found
in methane gas from sewage. Me-
thane is the simplest of all carbon
molecules. 1t also can be produced
