The first fires recorded In the mine 1 occurred in 18t*4 and were caused by a cave-in of the ore body. Since then there have been numerous fires in

timbered workings.

Since the miners at this location be gan fighting the flames, they have used virtually all known methods in vain. Flooding with water wua of no avail, for the water escaped through the broken ground: carbon dioxide gas, blown into the hot areas, tailed because there was always enough air in the fissures to nullify the smothering effect of the heavy gas; pipe lines were laid and Jets of steam were forced Into the ground, but the In ability of the miners to seal up the fire area.'- made this method useless. Several yearn ago the computr adopted the so-called plenum system, relates "Popular Mechanics." remark able, from the view of the layman, in that it sought to stop burning by blowing air on the burning materials Stopes were opened up where the rock glowed in the dark with its In- i temal heat.

Among the Earth'* Very

Early Elements.

Living organism*, imprisoned in amber ami believed to be incomparably oilier than the microbes found in Egyptian papyri, have been discovered by Dr. Galippe. of the French Academy of Science, and il Is thought by some biologists that thcae organ isms may probably be among the very early elements possessing life, to in-

habit tl»e earth

Amber in said to have been formed tn the very early stage* of the earth's history but Dr Ualippe t* ronvinced the micro organisms could only have been imprisoned in the amber while it was tn the course of formation As soon as these organisms were set free from their prison they are said to have manifested very evident signs of life and. when < arfully cul tivated. developed great activity. The organisms sre very elementary but this fact detracts little from the marvel that they are living survivals from a period far earlier than that of p-ehistoric man. Origin of Caometry.
