These air blasts are nol in reality explosions. They are due to the bursting of rock under great pressure, and the disturUance to the air, of the mine , produced by the. shock of disruption, lu mines where the rock is under particular strain by* reason or big cavities created by sloping, causing large masses of ground to exist under ■unbalanced-stress, the air blasts art- more frequent It is a common prac lice lo support the' hanging wall by portions of lodes which are left stand ing to do duty as pillars.

In mines where the rock will not stand and thc walls settle' slowly, ,so as to fill the excavations made }ty sloping there are. no air blasts or disturbances of that nature. When large areas of roof, which arc left hanging,, finally fall, they act like a piston and force the air out of the old stopes with all, the violence of a gas- explosions. ''.

Lady Al'.'-rdeeu, the wife of ihe viceroy, Mr. llryce, "the chief secretary for Ireland and'Sir Anthony Mc Doimell, the .real acting Irish executive,! were 'among those who mourne-d for the dead chief and expressed their highest appreciation of his, charact?r. Alfiehael Davitt never abated one jot or iota of his' principles. He ' was marked and branded as-a felon by the laws of'England, but his so-called felony was love for the land that bore him, and that -heroic . love has made- the name of| Michael Davitt lis immortal as the stars. In December, H103. Michael Davitt wrote to Sir , .1 'fhoniuf' Lipton asking him to use his ' g-ood ollices'with ,King Edward to i-e- .*ure the release! of Col. Lynch, thu Irish-Australian, who' fougM with the Boers. 'As soon 'as the king fead ■Davitt's letter he bade-his ministers n lease Lynch. ** 'It seems io me that Ireland owes .inure to Davitt than ,.to any man that hvi'd, always excepting O'Conncll! I -nin' nol unmindful of the semens'- of Gaviii Duffy, nor of the genius of Davis, nor of the'incomparable Van- ,- crship of Parnell, |.ut Davitt was ,-. more potent .factor for the regeneration of Ireland than any of "■ these and, I am almost te'inpted lo* say than all .combined.

' ' ■ Picture Michael Davitt's mother, ' walking, the streets ;6f- Manchester a . few months later pegging for breai . and work among strangers with her two footsore, hungry-children by her side, and you will have some ielea of the "via crucis" through which Mi- ehacl Davitt reached'■'the crown oi martyrdom. Picture him in the mills and factories of Lancashire, a. child slave toiling for bread, for' the'' 'old , folks whom wrong iind outrage had made exiles from the Green Hills' of ' Ireland! Overworked, underfed ant', ex- " hausted,- his right arm, was torn from r the shoulder. And,,thus' maimed, Mi'.', chad Davitt was equipped in youtli ' to fight iheiliittle oir life among sfran" gers in a strange land. .,- . •-.

The Irish judiciary, ior „instance, costs live times more for the machinery of justice than ithe judicial machinery of the .great Dominion of Canada. A county coin-''1 judge in Clare or Kerry is paid ?io,- , 000 a year for 30 days of work an.) his court oib"ci,als are paid in like proportion..
