In »«*rord»nr« with rulft* UM -4o*n?—Report of Mcdlnl Officer lo ProvIncInT nonnt of Tff.iltn - The question*of 'earthing' or1 ground ing' electrical systems in mines-has been rather hotl discussed both in r.K'(t ugs of the Association of "Minim*. Electrical Engineers. It is 'now very much better understood than it was some years backl "Earthing' was supposed to be taken literally. In "America they use a very* much better expression, "ground." "Earth" or 'ground" was taken literally. It was supposed for lustance that if you drove an' iron* bar into tlie ground near the face, you made efficient "earth." As a rule yoij did nothing of .the kind. To understand the rationale of 'ground,' it may be as well to refer back to Its use in telegraphy and telephone work. It has disappeared from use with the telephone service, because of tho interference of messages with each other, which the ,'ise of 'ground' introilu*.'- eil This perhaps will help'to illus- tf i**} tho difficulty of 'earth' tn ?onr.ec- tion with safety 'nm shock in-mines. Willi telegraphs, for Instance, where a viiti was employed Cor Mi^nallins between New York nnd rittsburg, say. v.*U. small, were rJ'. .weJ to find-their froni Pittsburg tb New York, and from New ■ York to Pittsburg, by way of thc 'ground.' A connection was made usually to the water service In New York and to the water service in Pittsburg and the telegraph currents, which were very small, were allowed to find their way back as they could.- In some experiments that were made in the United Kingdom in the early days of thc 'telephone, it was found that the" return current from Manchester to London, for instance.* sometimes went lo'iml by way of Glasgow. For telegraph work' it did .not matter a bit how the current travelled, so long as the apparatus worked. With telephone work thc 'ground' forming the commo'i ie- turn and recelvnlg the currents sent by different subscribers often carried a number of other subscribers' messages to an Individual telephone receiver, very; much to the user's annoyance. In the very early days of electric light, 'ground' was occasionally employed for the return current, but It was only, in very rare cases -that it could be so used. An instance that occurred i'n the writer's experience will perhaps illustrate the difficulty. " An arc light had been fixed on a dock head, the generator being In an engine the light had been at work'.for- some time; it was found necessary to move it farther from the engine,, and there not being 'sufficient cable for, the purpose, recourse was had to 'ground.' One end of a cable was attached to an Iron bar and dropped' Into the dock and the .end of another cable was attached to another iron bar, and dropped Into tho dock,,the circuit belns? so arranged that the water In th'o dock formed a part. The light .worked fairly weir when the dock was full of wafer but when the dock was empty, it would not work. The resistance of the dnmu mud through which the return current had to pass, wns so great that the current wnB reduced below tbo figure nt which the lamp would operate, A Blmllar set, of conditions rules in most mines. , It Is quite easy to obtain good connection with 'ground' on the surface. The engines usually mako good connection with tho ground. Tho hollers nre usunlly connected -to somo water supply, which ,,Is 'good 'ground'*In Itsolf, But whon It comos to maklnc 'ground' ln tho mlno It ls a vory different mnttor. At tho pit, bottom thero Is,.usually a sump full of water, receiving the drnlnn.ro of tho sliflft, and good 'ground' cnn bo obtained Ihoro. At Iho faco., howovor, It Ih almost nn nccldont whothor thoro Is good 'ground' obtnlnnblo or nol, nnd mont frequently thoro ls not. In ordor that good "ground' shnll bo obtnin- ed at the face, it IeTnecessary to make good connection with the. ground at the face, and;'that.-the - electrical resistance offered by the stfata-between the face Where connection with "the ground is made, and the sump or the surface, or wherever the other "earth" connection Is made shall,be very low indeed. If the contention of the advocate;?-of armored, cable is to hold good, the resistance of the 'groundfpatli must be sufficiently low to pass" a current that will operate the circuit breaker, or the fiise, and cut off the cable, when the armor becomes 'alive.' In the great majority of mines, the electrical resistance of* the strata varies ..enormously. . ' " 7 ■ The- investigations into the complaints about the electrolysis of pipes laid in the ground, owing to the stray currents from electrical tramway services, have disclosed the fnct that the electrical resistance.of the substances forming the earth's crust varies'very much/ In a great many cases the conducting power is almost directly in proportion to the quantity of water held by the strata. Porous waterbearing strata will have a low electrl* cal resistance usually^ while close non- water bearing strata will have a high resistance. Strata, which *- contains metals will have a comparatively- low resistance, and vice versa. The strata themselves vary in the, resistance 'offered. In addition, to this, it is a very difficult* matter'■ to obtain good electrical connection to the'*strata. Even with telegraph and telephone \j*ork, the obtaining of good 'ground' used to be a. very, troublesome affair at* times. ' , iri" dry weather, for instance, a telegraph apparatus might refuse to work because the connection to -.'ground' ,w,as so bad, owing to the absence of moisture in the soil in which the 'ground* plate was buried, that the current necessary to work the telegraph apparatus would' uot pass. At the face of the coal-it is particularly difficult to obtain^'good connection with the strata.' In a large proportion of cases the strata underlying tbe coal seams are of clay,', and clay offers a comparatively high electrical resistance and is difficult to make.connection with. - It will be seen from the above how very complicated the question of the use of 'earth' or 'ground' is, when it is properly con- sidered. ' ■ '■'*'.* '_ How Ground Protects From Shock "* **■ o The principle, underlying the protection of men from shock by the use of ground is as follows.- As s'tated above, when men get shocks when some part of the body touches a' conductor, between which the 'ground' on whicli they are standing a certain difference of pressure exists. The pressure required to kill differs, as already explained, with different subjects, but it* is clearly established that a pressure of 150 volts alternating/ either between tho hands, "or from ono hand to tho feet; or a pressure of 350 volts continuous, from hand to feet, or from hand to hand, will kill. A man receives such a shock and places himself in a position to receive lt, whon standing upon the (ground' of a mlno road say, .or standing perhaps upon tho rails, and ho touches a conductor forming part of tho electrical power service, or hnvlng a connection to tho electrlcnl power sorvlco, as explained abovo. If all conductors that' It Is possible for workmen to touch aro made to asstimo, the samo pressure as tho 'ground' upon which thoy Btand, it is obvious that shock will bo Impossible. For Instance, tho armor of a cable becomes 'nllvo,' by making connoctlon with tho conductor lt Is protecting, and If It Is nt tho snmo tlmo in connection with tho 'ground' upon which a man !» standing ho may touch It, but cannot rocolvo a shock.

The difficulty" In the way of making the armor always at the same'pressure as the 'ground', lias been explained above, and different methods' have been adopted in the United Kingdom for1 overcoming lt: The most, promising in the writer's opinion is one that has been Introduced in a large colliery In South Wales. An old wire rope has been carried down the shaft, and along the roads'to'wherever a cable Is fixed, and wherever an electrical apparatus is at work. ■ The armor of the cable Is bonded to the old wire rope at frequent Intervals, and when falls occur, the armor ori both sides-of the fall is Immedlately'bbnded to the rope. The rope „is laid on the floor of the mine, and; allowed to-make as much connection with the body of the.mlne as it can. In the particular colliery, it happens, to'be, a very well, managed one, there are riot many falls/and there fore there are not many cases of broken armor.' ' ' ,' 1 Two,points are of importance, however, iri connection with this matter.- Any old' wife rope}willnot do.' Mining engineers knowtl^at ln the older forms of -wire rope, in'whlch a certain number of wires were twisted together in one direction to form a strand, and a certain number of strands were laid up.together in the opposite direction to form' a rope, the individual wires' came 'to the surface of the rope at certain intervals,' and as the rope wore they were rubbed through. The consequence-was that,an old rope^was made up of a';number of short lengths.of Individual- wires held together by the twist~.of the rope. Electrically speak- ,ing','>thei'only connection between the individual wires was from surface . to surface,-and as- wire-ropes are.lcept well grease'd, and dirt" penetrates' to a large extent between the wires, the .connectioni.betweeri—indlvidual—i-wires- by this path-was not a good one. The electrical resistance' therefore of ari old, wire rope* of' that type might* be very high. Indeed,; and it was only hy using very'large"'ropesi that'in the very; early days of electric lighting, an eminent mining engineer in the United Kingdom was. able' to, utilize his. old wire ropes in place of conductors. The modern forms of wife' ropes, however, aro very different. Inthelocked-coll rope,"ln, the rope made on- what ls callod Lang's lay, and In the flattened- strand rope, the wires -"wear very evenly, and an old ropo when It. Is taken out of service for haulage of winding, will not have a, very high resistance, becauso tho Individual wires are -making good connoctlon with each other, arid there aro not many wires rubbod through. With' old wlfo ropes of this kind, tho plan mentioned above will answer vory woll, providing that careful connection is mado to it. And this Ib tho second point that tho writer would doslro to call attention to. - — ' Bonding requires to bo dono with groat caro, Tho old wlro ropo must bo cleaned for several Inchps at least. It should bo rubbod quito bright with ornery cloth, and all visible dirt removed. Connoctlon to tho armor of tho cablo that Ib to bo 'grounded,' or to switch boxes, otc, may ho mado olthor with a coppor or nn Iron wlro, A cop- por wlro will be host, becauso It .can bo moro onsily wrapped nround tho wlro ropo, nnd around tho nrinor, but wlioro coppor wires nro uboiI. tho bonding should bo iiiBpoeted from tlmo to tlmo, as olootrochomlcnl action will bo uot up botweon tho copper and tho Iron tending to dostroy tho connoctlon.

" In the writer's opinion," it Is' doubtful If the single-strand wire would'answer its purpose"under all circumstances,. The 'ground' conductor, whatever, form it may take, must havo sufficiently low resistance to allow any leakage currerit that passes'out of any one of the cables to return to the generator without an appreciable difference of pressure arlstri'g iij the 'ground' conductor itself. In the 'ground' conductor has a high electrical resistance, a difference of , pressure may exist at-certain parts of the "mine between armor,' switch boxes, etc., that are supposed to be 'grounded' and the 'ground' Itself. • '*. ' , •' '■ , . 'Grounding' With Thfee-Phase Services 'Grounding' with three-phase services is a ' rather different .'matter1 to that with . continuous current. Star-connected generators and motors are-usually employed in mines, and the neutral, point of the star, the common junction of the three coils of the generator arid motor,'are connected to 'ground.' The 'same,idea rules: viz., that if»the armor of the cable becomes 'alive'1 the circuit bfeaker or fuse will cut it off, and' the armor itself being connected to* 'ground,' a man cannot receive a shock- from it." - Provided that the armor-is bonded everywhere to a good 'ground.'-cable'of low electrical" resistance,,this Is nearly always quite eor- -rect.

Bu*. let us not get away Into'.philosophy. Let us get back to", the little incident which I started out to tell you. I actually came across -a man .who has been pondering over the problem of business and ideals. ' He has been trying to find a. solution, y It .was'a question with him bf giving up either business or ideals." I know-how he solved It... But I must not tell you his decision before I tell you the story. After you hear the story you will welcome the decision.' But if I tell it to you before-you .may not read the story, and that would be. a calamity. So heje, goes'the story,* just-as, I took It from'life: .';'--• -■*, "■ ' , '. Some ydars ago I became acquainted with an anarchist. He did not have bombs in his pocket.. •, He had none secreted anywhere in his' home. He .was not iri the bomb manufacturing business.. He sold ,' an ,*, article ..... * . - ^ which every one needs. As a business man'he made a living by selling goods to those*who needed the goods'.', What difference'does it malie what he sold? Enough- to say that he did not sell prayer books, "talesim," or anything that, would make, him feel in any way inconsistent with his ideas. He employed no help. So he felt no re- morse'at being an employer of labor. He,"did'everything*'.by himself, and when .he.needed any assistance, 'his wife came'tb the rescue. . "' Being a good business man (strange to "say, even an'anarchist can.be a good business man) he made some money.' ■ Now,.it seems'to be in the nature of man,-particularly, in America to become'"..restless when he has money. He cannot bear to see it pile up in a bank. ■ As a. business man this anarchist friend' of, ours knew that his money was being invested-or loaned by his* bankers and that they were making more money with his money, giving him only a snlall percentage of It in the form of interest. ' Of course,' "he objected to this modern form of exploitation. *- He worried over it, trying to find a way of keeping the bankers from exploiting him.' He looked for some safe investment.' One day it. became * known in radical circles that Sam Suchard, this is our hero's name, became a manufacturer.. His factory became a place of pilgrimage, ' Anarchists, Socialists and many other, radicals cameto see the place. ' They' could hardly believe lt, Was lt really possible that Suchard had joined the band of exploiters of labor,* that he went Into the manufac-, •turlng business? Yet, there was ln white on blue, on a large sign, "Sam Suchard, Manufacturer of Ladles' Waists. * And if Mie sign alone was not sufficient the doubting Thomases could walkMip the,stairs and see the sign ropoated on the glass pinto on the door leading to tho hew manufacturing con- C' rn; If further proof was necessary one could walk Into tho office and soo Suchard sitting at n desk directing his affairs, or one could stop into tho shop nnd soc lilm supervise the work. Of course, Suohnrd's entrance Into 'the world of exploiters of labor" modo him unpopular among his comrades. They could not seo how n man could bo an anarchist and a manufacturer nt the same time. At meet- IngH ho wns anubbed by.tho most zealous, ' On tho floor ho" wns not listened to vory attentively, Ills opinion was no longer worth much. What did a manufacturer know about labor and Kn problems? And Suchard know Just exactly how things stood botwoon him and tho boys. Ho had boon thoro hlmaolf, Uo know thoy dlstruBtod him. It rnnklod him, howovor. Ho could not boar it, So ho was a roro visitor at annrchlBt or any olhor mootlngB hold by radical. . Nttlo by littlo ho dlsapponrod from rmllr-nl clrdoB, From tlmo to tlmo ono would vonturo to nnk what had become of Suchard, In most cabob tho nnswor would bo: "Ilo hns no llrno for mcotlngB. Uo is a manufneturor—o bourgeois. Wo can do without hlm,' Ono day whilo walking Into a wntch mnkor's Btoro to (jot my watch nftor lta annunl donning, I found Ruchnrd. At first I hardly recognized him. Ho hnd n worried loolc, something which my conscience troubles me too;' You see. I am -not like other manufacturers. I am'different If. I get'the best of the fellow who works for me my conscience"hurts me. "You know when a, fellow has .been having.those ideas in his head.for so many years he cannot, act ■ the part of* the" boss easily.^ On the' other hand, being an employer,.! cannot allow the men to get the best of me." And that*is all there is to it -. It is either you getf the best of them or they get the best of you. It is wrong either way." ' , . ... "Did you not .know it before- you took up the business?" I ventured. ' • "Well, I cannbt say exactly I did no^know it. But I thought I would find a way to adjust things.. But you see how it is. I am a small manufacturer. I cannot do as I please. v I must do what other manufacturers in my line of business do. I cannot begin'reforming "things. If I do I shall be, crushed before I know it. But I cannot go oh doing the way they do. I have got these ideas in tbe blood, and they won't let a fellow rest. That is the, trouble.", - .", . "Why In the world,did you take up this business, you were doing* well enough lnvthe store?" - . 1 "Doing, well? I wasdoing too well, I thought I would accomplish more by Investing my money. ;, But I, tell you It is not worth it. ' In fact, nothing is worth while.', v ' "."Quite a pessimist,' Suchard.', I am surprised atyou. -You are well,to' do enough to join'even the Sunshine Society; " - ' , , • .yi'am well-to-do, it is true." But I have-lost faith-in men. I have.seen there'ia nothing to-it all. Here aot 1 with money and ideas and I do riot know what to do. Before I,went into this - business, even the store, I spent nearly a thousand dollars travelling in an effort1 to find a place where wife and I could spend our days amidst idealists and dreamers. I went to Home: You know' that anarchist colony in Washington State. Well, I lived with, them. * I was complerely disillusioned. * They'plot and plan and worry as everywhere else. One, talk"-? about the other.-- They hate on another even worse than people who do riot-.Jive in colonies. They call one anbther^comrade, hut it is all a huge bluff.".' " ■ ..■.-.-: \ - "You do not mean to condemn, ideals on account of persons, do you?" .-* j "Not at all. I am telling'-you ray impressions and experience. I know" "their ideas and ideals,are all right." But.they, cannbt carry them out under the present,system. That,is al! I went from there to, a single tax colony. T found disappointment there also." " It seems that people cannot act like Idealists .as long'as things are what'they are. I went to other colonies. - I .found people who spoke about Ideals, but who "did not live up to these ideals. So I came back. I decided'that there wao nothing to all this colony; business.' I made up my mind to stay right here and- worlc. Well, I- went into this manufacturing business. I soon found out that even though. I decided- while a manufacturer to do what, manufacturers do, I find that It hurts me. I simply cannot do it. I guess I shall have to give up one thing or the other. I have come toithe,conclusion .that I shaU have to give up either my Ideals -or manufacturing. "Well, which will you give up?" . To tell you tho truth I have tried to give*up my ideals. I cannot do It. Every time I get the best of a workman,' something within mo says, 'Pine anarchist you are, Sam. •' What would Kropotltin say about it if he knew it?' Now,;,I know, Kroptokln is not the Pope, still I feel ashamed of myself to get the best of a workingman. So what is the use? Guess the'manufacturing business will have to go, if there is not other way." --By this time we had reachedNlie building where, the factory was located. We parted.. A few.weeks later I ment a friend of Suchard's. When' I asked about Suchard the man said: , 'He went and gave up a flourishing business.' Rather stupid of him. It is a'pity/too, he was doing so well.. You see that is what foolish ideals do for a man. I-walked away, feeling that theie was -nothing to say ,in response lo such eloquent arguments. ,-■»•, Special Excursion To Creston -T Date will be announced later—-so watch for it. Dinner Service and The Dinner less t^—-*■■*, By-jDiioc-^wnner One morning last December the .New- York .Times stated that,, a dinner service made for Senator Clark was the costillest ever furnished for an individual, in "this-country. A certain,T. S.Affleck at" once wrote to the'paper to say that in 1880, when he was employed by Tiffany and Co., that house made for John W. Mackay a service of silver "(furnished from his own mines) the .cost of which was over $250,000; also that while he was with the Gor- ham Company ln Providence, R, I., they made a service for Mrs, Washington Roebling as a present to her husband which cost ovor $150,000, and. several other sets for other purchasers which! .would reach $100,000 arid ovor.

Or two chemical experiments,. was g-*v**5-_i on Friday evening at* the Workr*-"*"*-**"*-!. Institute, Rhymney, by Mr. JOshua Thomas, of the University ColieE-a. Cardiff. The lecture haa'a specif* interest to Rhymney miners and pc0We by , reason of the personality of tl»e Voung lecturer, who was an old st'J'-Wt of the Rhymney Evening Classed* About three years* ago he won a sch^^rship, ■> and .entered Cardiff UniverS-'-V College. f_n that occasion, he ^'-is the recipient of a number of book**-**, Publicly presented to him as a testimony of the esteem in which ho was ■'■"-ild by reason of tho high moral and feUgious qualities of his character, and his use- ' ful co-operation in social and f6Uglou8 movements at Abertysswg an*-* Hhym- 1 ney. The lecturo on Friday ^'as arranged under the auspices of th* Technical .Education Committee, ancl drew a crowded audience, which g^o the young lecturer a hearty recep-J0 ., and listened most appreciatively tP his interesting lecture. Mr. J. "*-,*. Price, who presided, expressed his dtf-'Uht at seeing so crowded an attend**n*Je to encourage Mr. Thomas, who, trough the medium of the Evening" ^lasses had gained such distinction,- afl^'Vhose conduct at the University' nft. won such golden opinions that P****-- term . there had been extended for a .other . year.' Ho believed *Mr. Th^as,. if - given life and health, would devote himself and his abilities to tl1*-"* good '.of the,community (applause). The lecturer said that now a*1^ igaiti the civilized world was. applied by thc'loss of hundreds of lives trough some mining disaster or earthquake. This i was the consequences ol -Nature making an effort to right hers.1?.Thus •we*_ad volcanic eruptions an"*** earthquakes, or it might be that -Nature's laws had been broken, and tUe penalty had to be paid by hum&n lives, perhaps by shipwreck or' rail^y disaster, or a colliery explosion. * ' h was with the latter that he was personally interested. Mr. Thomas the. ■reviewed the .earlier'stages-of coal Produc- , tion (which began to be used -f0**" commercial purposes'"in the twelfth century) and difficulties which _■>*•* to be met, and the rough and ready •tn*-**-de of naeall-__g^'it_^He^7~U^t6^b'3~^twlier part of the nineteenth ceiit****1>, gas alone was held to be the cauS*3 of ex- . plosions. '..Before the introd*tfcUon of the Davey and Stephenson laiflPs, men would go Into a mine wrapped I. sack cloth, saturated with water, aud advance'toward the place where the gas was located, and creeping aloi**£- would hold a long pole with a llghte**1 candle at the end of lt, and with th-*8 would fire tlie gas, and while the fl-**.-*1**"") passed along the roof, the miner *. °Uld lay flat on the floor.' As,the tfi'-les bo- came deeper, these gases had lot tho snme chance of escape. At --ho beginning of the eighteenth cen^'ty, explosions began to bo frequent) find In 1705 tho first great explosion l^npened ln a pit neni* Gateshead, when thirty lives woro lost. "The blast/' H wna recorded, "was so fierce that si* Individuals woro blown out of tl**-*-! pit's mouth.' Everything thnt c0**lfl be thought of to provont explo^^iiB of -gns wns tried, except diluting thr. gas, bo as to render.lt harmless, b-/'**_prov- Ing tho ventilation. Gns migl-t accumulate- very quickly by the outburst of a blower or a suddon fall hi tho barometer,, and where unite-*-* lights wero used, it' could bo flrod. _i tho onrllor dnys of mining, Ihey UBofl de- cnylng fish Instead of candles il< order to 'avoid explosions, This wtis foi- lowed by tho Bpoddlng stool rti'-l. The mill wns nttnehod to the wo'-H of a boy, who held a flint In ono Wbd nn- nltiflt tho wheel, which wns rr»P*<lly ro tated by the other' hand.' The' eteel mill remained ia use for, years,' but towards the ea'd of the ■ eighteenth century, it was suspected of-haying caused , many explosions. About a century- ago,,1 Dr., Clancey began his .experiments on* safety lamps, but it was not until 1815 that Davey and Stephenson invented their lamps, and a reliable thing of that kind came upon the market. Contrary to expectations, however, this did not put an end to firedamp explosions. Instead of us* ing the lamp as an indicator of danger it was used tn a reckless manner. Great. Explosions In 1845 a great explosion occurred at Haswell, Durhnm, when 95 lives wero lost. During the Inquiry-.that followed it was shown* that the method of finding tho velocity of the current of air travelling through the mine waa to light some black powder, and ob servo the time taken by the smoke to pass over a given distance.,Up to that period, explosions were confined to the North of England, where the mines were older and deeper, but from 1854 explosions had been known, In every coalfield. In that year two serious ones happened—one at Risca and one in' Durham. ■ Following these came the Gethm explosions, In 1862-65; Ferndale 1867; then Abercarn, Penygralg, Morfa and a host of other's. Up to thirty years ago little' attention was paid to coal dust as tbe cause of an -explosion. Professors Faraday and Lyell In their reports of the Haswell explosion of 1844, said: "In considering the extent' of the fire, It must not be supposed that firedamp was its only fuel. The coal dust swejit up by the rush of wind would constantly take fire and burn if there ''were- enough C02 present to ., support its combustion. There was every reason to believe that much coal gas was made from this dust in.the very, air Itself in the mine." Unfortunately Faraday's evidence was overlooked for many years, and it was not until Professor Galloway, who in 137.' carried out several experiments in coal dust, that mining engineers of this country began to realize its. dan* zerous' properties, and It was ,tb him that the - credit must be given.1 ' The result of these experiments showed (1) That firedamp explosions In a wet mine never1 by any chance," assumed _4- n jr\ _ n*l« n _i_ __**•_ *_*__**-_•___. __»_f»_t_**_r.i__r_.*«J-I _r*t*n _a__r-_.P__._n__. _rv_ tuC'tliui a*ui*oi -*(jj — i*iU\J\JI i,lvaaia~\jir-a'^jl explosions; (2) "that all great explosions took place In dry and dusty mines.? Pure firedamp explosions could be caused by, igniting the gas,by naked lights, defective lamps, blown ' out shots, or by the use of long flame ex plosives. It could also be fired by the emission of sparks from falls ot roof, friction of machinery, and lt had been proved that sparks caused by,, the blow of the pick on a nodule of Ironstone would Ignite firedamp. In spite of tho experiments of Professor Galloway and Hail, the"report of the Royal Com mission in 1886 showed that all the evidence, with the exception of that of the two gentlemen named, 'that, it was Improbable that dust would do more than Increase the range of a firedamp explosion." i* " Fired by Blown-Out Shots But the Commission of 1891 came to the conclusion thnt coal dust alone, without the presence of any gns, could causo a dangerous explosion if Ignited by a blown-out Bhot,' thoy said, "the conditions must bo exceptional, and nro only llkoly to bo produced on rnro occasion!!." Tlio caiiBo of tho Taylors- town explosion In 1890 wnB attributed to a blown out shot, nnd nt Senghon- ydd In 1901, 'tho causo wns unknown, hut the general opinion wns that Its oxtont wns duo to tho presence of fine coal dust." Mr. RobHon, TI. M. Inspector, In his roport, snld; "It Ib now nnlvcrBally admitted thnt conl dust Is n grontor enemy thnn oven flrodnmp," It The Wattatown disaster in, 1905, in which 119 lives were lost, was attributed to shot firing.; What seemed to be most mysterous about these explosions was thaV.out of millions of shots fired,- only one in'10,000 or even 100,000 caused1 an .explosion. Out of sixty'.fatal explosions attributed to shot firing during, the last twenty years, only six were definitely stated that' have resulted from blown out shots, three ignitions were recorded to have-fired gas by blowing through from the back end. The catastrophe of Courrleres provoked a profound and sad surprise amongst,the,French engineers. Two French scientists pointed out over thirty years ago "that this "very fine coal dust, rich in Inflammable constituents, would increase the intensity of an explosion of firedamp, aiid prolong Its extent.' Yet in 1882, the French Firedamp Committee came to the following conclusion; "That they rejected the theory, that coal dust was not a serious danger, and maintained that no colliery explosion of any importance could be attributed with any probability, to the action of coal dust.' Their scepticism cost Frarice 1,100 lives.-*, Following this terrible disaster, the" French hastened to atone for .'their .unbelief by making a scientific' Investigation, into the coal dust problem.1 In August, 1908, some trials were made at Altoffs Colliery, Yorkshire,'when .50 pounds "of coal dust* was spread over 450 feet of gallery. , The explosion was so violent that'three boilers forming the intake were wrecked and several' pieces, of boiler plate, blown into the air a considerable height,- the flame shot to a great length, and ,the vibration was felt .more than seven miles away. A certain' amount of dust, the lecturer' explained, was made at the face, but this was so mixed up w,Ith the larger particles that it was not so dangerous as if the fine dust was separated from, the coarse. The explri- siveness depended to a great extent upon its fineness, the finer the dust .the higher the explosive. ; In* many cases explosions had been arrested not for the want of dust,, but the lack of fine dust. \ y .'..,*■ , .,How.

The general opinion of witnesses-before, the,, Royal Commission was that wet zones, 100 yards long.and'isolating every district, would be the best* preventative. In South Wales, watering was largely adopted, but in the.North of England and the Midlands, the'.effect of watering on the roof and sides would be disastrous 'Thereof there was generally of a shaley and clayey nature, and would crumble to pieces in a short time in -water.' ..In conclusion, he said that the safest preventative to adopt was to take' oyery,. possible precaution to prevent accumulation of gas and dust, and • thus; prevent rather- than arrest explosions. *;'They could regard firedamp as a cap detonator, and coal dust as dynamite.

' A mor tallty of_lmost 80 per cent in all but the most incipient conditions.'

But he had to wait until he had passed Into tho thirties before he patented his gas-generating apparatus, and later an improvement in electric lamps, and got a firm footing on the road to fame and fortune.

The modern girl was disdn- guished by an intense appetite for intellectual culture." She \ wished to study everything, and she' Indesd learned a great deal.* Monsignor Bolo was °not*-quite convinced t.at the change was altogether for'the bet^r'. He did not like young girl authors cr students any more than he liked t.ioso who nourished themselves on the far- bage of cheap novels whil*"** making skirts which were trousers In disguise or hats which-might serve for sentry boxes."*- „ - ' ' T His sympathy was reserved,for th3 young girls who wished to breathe a higher atmosphere and who refus d to consider the domains of art, ,sci n:o and literature as closed to them. Tha young girl of to-day drserved to be' u- couraged in* her aspirations towads intellectual ' culture, ,and Mons'gn r Bolo roundly censured S-.hcpnhau°r for his-definition of woman as "an animal with long hair-.and a short mind," and his dec'ara'ion that her reading ought to.be confined to prayer and cookery books. DOCKING OF TAILS BOGUS MONEY IN SCHOOL The Building Used at Night for Mak- . ing^gu^o_^^joney' , : AGREAT CENSUS '/ . • Nurrbering the People is a Big Task—'1 Seme Interesting Points as to, .7* Work in Old Country. . In view of the fact that this' is Cen- ; sus Year in Canada it.is interesting to ■- note how Great Britain and Ireland, take tbelr Census. Some interesting • points as to the great census in the . Old Country this year are as follows:'' The first Sunday in April was census night, when all the people.in Great-' Britain and Ireland,were numbered. A census form, to be filled.up by the ,. occupier, was left during'the previous week, at every dwelling-house.by the census-takers, who are , officially known as enumerators. ' * , - - •There were about 40,000 of these census-takers, and thoy dealt .with 9,000,000 census papers'. The printing and classifying of these .forms has been a big job. It occupied the staff of the Census-Office "for nearly a year, and it will take two years to sort and tabulate the forms after they -are . filled up, so that the whole work of the census from start to finish will occupy three full years. „ All the forms were called for by the enumerators on Monday, April 3rd. Refusal to fill up the form ls punishable by a fine of $25, but although such, a refusal is not uncommon they rarely persist in lt, but give way to a little coaxing and explanation One particularly stubborn individual,' however, was absolutely deaf to argument when the last censuB was taken ten years ago. Ho-simply would not fill up the form, nor would ho consent to give the information necessary to _ enable lt to be filled up for ihm. So he was summoned and fined $25, His. was the only family not Included in the census. , , -• Another householder, a lady, sont |25 on her own account aa "conscience money." Sh? had? she explained, understated her age. If all tho .ladies, who do this same thing would act in a similar manner, the Brit'sh Exch quer would be thc rich*?*.- by irany, tho-aa-ds of five-pound notes, for e.)rr'ene shows that large numbers of the .-"c'r- sex make themselves out o ** _■"»■• s day to be younger than they r-raVy ar?. "Twenty-five Is th'.- aj.e af *-vh'ich' .most of tliem cease to grow any older, at all events on paper. This' was clearly shown during D\p last census, which took place, of course, in 1901; ,A novelty about this census is that children helped to take it. Circulars were sent to every headmaster* and mistress throughout .the Kingdom, with special hints, a'nd'dummy census papers. These latter the elder children were taught to fill up In proper manner, special attention being directed tb the ."occupation" column.,* Thus, if a child's.father is a cabdriver, for, example, the child was asked to impress, upon his father the . necessity of stating the exact kind uf. cab he drove—whether a "taxi." a. hansam. or. a four-wheeler.-.

During the course of the Inspection in one of the "class-rooms a strange looking apparatus was found, .which proved to'be a press" for ■ tho manufacture of bank-notes. Further searches revealed a small closet which had been turned Into a regular mint, and there were- bagfuls of ready-made sllvor and copper coins. It appears that tbe schoolhouse, where principles of morality .were inculcated Into tho village youth by day, was employed at night by many of their parents to make their fortunes on somewhat dlfforont linos. Several prominent residents have beon arrested.

One admirable thing about the'Socialistic propaganda is that it encour-_ ages'thought along fundamental.-lines. It leads "to the consideration and discussion of such questions as the.origi.. and nature of ownership,iri° land, the origin and-nature ,-of ownership -in things, "the obligations ->. attaching to ownership, the, rights „of non-owners, the relative rights and" power of the .- - ■-*-.. - . * -'*- . Htntp_anri__th_*>_individuaI;,__:thG___orleir__ tv; - ~ ' r ""-""" " and nature of wealth, •* and. so on. Statesmanship, diplomacy,, legislation and jurisprudence deal with .things as they are.- , Socialism endeavors to discover the why things are as they are, how they ought to be and by what means they can be made to be as they ought to be.-" The weak point In tho Socialistic propaganda lies in the fact that as it:is 'popularly ,*advancedt.It deals' only, wiih.- halt ]the'.truth. It disregards the human-equation, substituting theory^ for what is the-paramount, factor, iiii human progress. With the ultimate aiju. of Socialism, namely the promption of^the "welfare of the Individualj.ali persons must be In sympathy,, but' li is" open" to very "grave doubt* if there;is anything-permanent in the Socialist propaganda as it is carried on'to-day, and the leaders of Socialist thought do not so claim.' Col lective ownership is not the ultimate aim of Socialism, but only one.stage In" the progress5of mankind towards ideal conditions.'- "Collective ownership" wrote Simon's,' edttor of the Irt- terriktlonal Socialist. Review,- "is, simply the next logical stage ln social evolution." -What.will result from it cannot be foreseen, because; as Mr. Simons -says, the decisions of the majority and the, progress of Industrial development cannot be known In advance. Socialism, properly considered is^ evolution not revolution. , But it deals with collective ownership as an end and not merely as a. means, as a conclusion and not merely a stage In' progress,' as a consummation, assometh-* ing which of itself will ensure universal happiness. *-" ■ ' ' r' If we could.get an accurate account of the aboriginal conditjons.of mankind we would probably find1 that the, idea of ownership was j^not' coeval in its j origin with humanity, except so; far 'as actual possession went,' the-sort ! of ownership which a dbg has in a '.bone or in a sunny spot where'he is taking' a nap. ,„ Nothing belonged to "anybody; the Socialist propaganda teaches that everything ought to belong to everybody, subject only to use bv the person actually in possession. The logical conclusion from the'latter would be a return to the former. Between collective ownership" and no ownership there is no real difference in principle. Hence it. is not surprising to find Socialist writers conceding that they-do not profess to know -vhat will follow "collective ownership. - Presumably individual ownership was first exercised In regard to chattels. '".' There is no certainty about this, for .we.have no records to* help us to .a conclusion; but it seems reasonable to think "that in'the" older stages of human advancement the" idea of individual i property in land would not have* been entertained. ' AVe know 'it is not .entertained by people, who are now living in-a low.state of civilization:'*-; ' (.'- . s ■ ., Tribal ownership is in a sense uni- .versal,\i,foEinatioria]_owTiersiiip_is_only_, a development df it. - At what stage in human progress individual owner-" ship inland began'to be recosjnlsed it is-quite Impossible to'say, for, we,have no records tbat extend to a time when It was not acknowledged, and when it did not form.the basis of social organization among people that had emerged from" primitive conditions. v We may theorize as-we will about the injustice •*.». **, *■, - ,-- *. -- .---*- of ir, butno'one can hope to disprove that "the whole", fabiic of.modern "civilization has been reared upon individual ownership "of, land,, upon the fact that the right of possession' gave van incentive to. improvement, "--. '..._' ,--_-"''_ * We are .frequently told that property in land, as it,exists .to-day is.a survival of feudalism. ..So it-is".ih.a .jense, but feudalism* was better thaii chaos, and without, feudalism \tiere.*' would have been chaos. Here,we have opened to iis a retrospect,' which, ought to he'a.valuable guide.to the future. In .previous articles on this'-page atte'n-' tion. has .been directed to the "distinction between.English-and .Continental feudalism, and it has been pointed out that. William "the Conqueror claimed to be the personal owner of all the land of England,' with the right to give it to .whomsoever he' chose. • This Is ilie' 1'iisis oi title to land in ,BfiH*-'!- countries, only as the Crown 1-,-h coin? Lo 1-e lvoognized as'a truatccAhlp onl;-- r.ir llic't.vcple, ownership in lnnd *,-i n-lt'.sh countries is j*eally ■ i*ol!c-**ri\*e fundament! Ily, and this principle i.- demonstrated ln\,the .United Sliu-r*? that ultimate title to all. lands is ves- ed.in Mie state, and it is the psonie who constitute the State, riot,the land, nor •the government, rior "anything else than an aggregation of individuals acting, in unison for mutual advantage. The principle', of , ultimate collective ownership is*-recognized in all our le- gisla Hon, and Is known" as the doctrine of eminent domain.' Individual ownership is subject .to collective ownership, but there.is at* present no restriction upon the area of land which an individual njay own.,-* The Socialist propaganda seeks to restrict' this capacity of ownership'both as to areaand as to tenure. . 1, Ownership in the.means of production is the outgrowth of inventive genius. Before the in\ention of modern machinery, this ownership was unimportant, because it" was individual skill that counted in -production. . A good shoemaker working in his little,, shop could make better,.shoes than a poor shoemaker. Machinery has changed this. ;■• Except- in a few instances no one now makes a' shoe wholly by hand. Machinery hiis^rgely taken the place of skill." ■*- .But onachinery without labor could pfo'duce nothing. Therefore the Socialist propaganda airhs at the "collective ownership about .which hundreds ; of thousands, of men are thinking deeply." -There is not the'.least, use in seeking- to' arrest this tide df thought by .applying harsh names' to. ,the_thinksrs,;.mistake_-in-their_coiicIu-- sions and Jttieir** methods though .they may be. [ The "protests of conservatism will be as unavailing against it as were the.edits'of'prelates against Renascence.
