One of the serious dangers of mining is the fallare of the detonator to explode the blasting charge. The unfired charge is then left in the rook and at some later time, on being struck by a mizer's tool, it explodes, killing or injuring the miner, and any other persons nest.
A new safety cartridge is designed to prevent such accidents. A needle is fitted to a tube ja oño end, and after the hole is rammed this needle is withdrawn and the detonator is inserted in its place, the charge being then fired electrically in the usual way. When a cartridge fails to explode, it is not left in the rock, The imper foot detonator is withdrawn, a new one is inserted in its place, and the sbargo "is then fired.

Modern industry depends upon science to a degree that is not easy to estimate, but a my gestive hint was given in a recent address by C.E. Ekinner, of the research department of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. The investigation of the properties of materials is probably the most important commercial research, A large factory ases & great variety of materials, the classes employed by the Westinghouse Company exceeding 500 and the entire resouroes of physics and chemistry are drawn upon to show what they will do. Now tests are often dorised to deter mins special propertion, as is the ones of metallic filament lamps and alloy steele. Other scientific research of importance is that applied to developing processes of minufacture and new.compositions for specist work, studying the physios! laws-side from the properties of materials-connected with dengas, the testing of machines, and the examination of reputed inventions.
