DETECTS MINE DANGERS.

Pittsburgh An important u30 for radio in mino' safety work has been devoloped. A sensitive radio instrument détects gas accumula- tion and operates warning alarma that permit the cloaring of affect- ed dreas.

Based on the principle of the olectrical conductivity of various gases, this radio adaptation uses the simplest of radio circuits, an air condenser, vacuum tubo, sensi- tive relay and alarm bells."

The plates of the condenser are charged with electric energy which will discharge only when the dielectric medium scparating the plates has a specified conduc- tivity. The amount of gas in the air determines the conductivity.

The frequency of the discharge depends entirely on the condition of the air and a reliable check can be made by ringing the alarm bells. The operator can then re- gulate the ventilating system
