 stronger wire than with you, in order to guard against any exte- 

 rior damage irom the awkwardness of the workmen ; and to pre- 

 vent the men from opening the lamp, we have also adopted the 

 expedient of a small padlock, with the key of which the master 

 miner is intrusted. The heating of the gauze cloth, however 

 intense it may be, is not attended with any danger, for iron the 

 most incandescent will not affect gas ; nothing but flame will 

 kindle it. Some attempts have been made to light a mine bv 

 means of its gas, but I am not as yet acquainted with tlie result. 

 I should think that such a project must be attended with manv 

 obstacles."
