EXPLOSIONS.

VIEWS OF A MINING EXPERT.

"SHOT-FIRING."

There are two possible causes The Lincolnshire Handicap (one of colliery explosions-the pre- [mile, at Lincoln), the first impor-sence of an inflammable mixture !qf' firedamp and air, or of a very fine coal dust raised as a cloud in the air. Either of these can he ignited by a flame for a spark. Firedamp is the gas given off by the coal and its surrounding strata..

A spark or flame sufficient to ignite an inflammable mixture of gas and air, or of coal dust and air may arise from (u) naked lights: (b) flame from explosives: (c) fires in mines (e.g., from spontaneous heating of the waste material packed into the seam after the coal ia worked out); (d) electricity.

The Hong Kong Football Asso- eintion has chosen a very strong vide to meet coldiers. The matel should be a great attraction and the teams are evenly matched,

Military bands will be playing on the ground from 3 p.m. and the kick-off is at 4.15 p.m. Teams:-
