Out of 70 fatal, and 224 non-fatal, explosions in 1872, 58 per cent, 

 were due to changes of pressure, 17 per cent, to the great heat of the 

 weather, and 25 per cent, to other than meteorological causes. The 

 escape of fire-damp was found to be mainly dependent on the condition 

 of atmospherical pressure. C. E. De R.

Let A, B, C be the positions of three bore-holes, and let S = dip 

 (reckoned from a horizontal plane), Y= angle which the strike of the 

 bed makes with AB, a = distance between A and B, a = distance 

 between A and C, w = angle of horizontal plane between AB and AC,
