(:omhti>l ih!u dust, Mich as that
found in coal ionics, is a powerful
explosive, lie ire dang< rous even
thiiii llic divaded fired ii i np, since it
in capable in sonic eircuinsluncoA
of exploding spoiilaneotisly. The
rea.-on i> that the lino dust com-
bines with the oxygen of the air—
that is, it burns slowly, and in the
process of combustion give# oil
neat, which raises the temperature
of the dust. This increase of tem-
perature, again, causes oxidation to
proceed more rapidly, until finally
the <lust is hot enough to explode
on the slightest provocation.
The explosion spreads to the dust
floating in the air and accumulated
in the mine till a destroying flame
sweeps from one end of the work-
ings to the other.
Many plans have been proposed
of obviating this risk. One method
which obtained great favor was to
keep the atmosphere of the mine
damp by sprinklers. It has, how-
ever, been found that this rather
increases the danger since damp
dust oxidizes much more roudily
than dry.
Modern science relies chiefly on
keeping coiiMcrnblo stretches of
the workings free from dust by
thorough wetting, so as to limit
anv explosion which may occur and
at the same time keeping the whole
initio cool bv thorough ventilation.
His Position.
"You have been with that firm n
long time," said the old school
friend.
''Yes," answered the man with
the patient expression of counte-
nance.
"What's your position?"
"I'm an employee."
"Hut what is votir official title?"
'"I haven't any ollieial title. It's
like this: When the proprietor
wants something done, he tells the
cashier, and the cashier tells the
bookkeeper, and the bookkeeper
tells the a-si-tant bookkeeper, and
the n. istant bookkeeper tells the
chief clerk, and the chief clerk tells
inc."
"And what then?"
"Well, I haven't anybody to tell,
so 1 have to go and do it."—Wash-
ington Star.
The Sccpter.
The scepter was the emblem of
power. As the silver wand, so fa-
miliar in cathedrals, was once hol-
low, containing the "virge" or rod
with which chastisement was inflict-
ed upon the choristers and younger
members of the foundation, so the
royal scepter represented the right
to inflict punishment. Hence the
expression "to sway the scepter"
implied the holding of regal dig-
nity. The scepter with the dove
posseted the additional significa-
tion of the Holy tjhost, as control-
ling the actions of the sovereign.
The same idea was conveyed at
Reims by the beautiful ceremony
of letting loose a number of doves
at the coronation of the French
kings.—Good Words.
