‘I THEORY OF MINE EXPLOSIONS. â€"_â€" Disasters Said to Occur the Same Ilour An Astronomical One Made in 179/: By in Certain Attitudes. Experts who have investigated the recent -min0 disasters in the United States have decided that the explosions are caused by climatic conditions. Supporting the position taken, it is a noticeable fact, they say, that the recent catastrophes have occurred at about. the "same hour in the day. in a zone of cer- ‘tain altitude, in about the same longitude and in places where climatic conditions are similar. The majority of the mines operated to- day are below the level of the streams in the same sections, and, Owing to the .moisture, the outside air forced into the mines by the fans has been laden with carbon dioxide, moisture and other im- pritics. It is suggested that if the air forced into the mines was allowed to gather from a higher stratum and was heated ‘sntl‘icicntty and otherwise treated to re- .movc the impurities, the accidents would flue less numerous during the change of Seasons. Proper ventilation with this purified all, it is believed, will remove to a great ertent the coal dust and explOsive gases \vliicli are found to a certain extent in every mine._ ' ‘ M‘___.._... ,LlTTLE GIRL'S FACE COVERED \Vl'l‘fl ECZEMA.

The watch is fifty-four millimeters in diamete‘ and has two gold lids covering a front and a back face. The front face shows the. hours and the minutes of the true time by the sun and medium time, the. day of the week and the day of the month. The. watch is intended to be wound up every day, but it. goes for forty hem“. The sun in its apparent course do- ser'ilhrs an ellipse, not a circle, and there- fore our watches do not always coincide with the sun.
