These explosions, which rreqitentlr occur In thl* mine, are * source of disquietude and anxiety to the miners: It I* probable, also, that their violence Is Increasing with the depth to which the mine penetrates Such explosions, which mar be called spontaneous, hare been reported from n.anr parta of the world Nature recall* that In the lead mine* of Derhr* shire for example. Straham has described masse* of ore that explode as soon as disturbed br the pick. Numerous explanation* hare been given of three phenomena: tbej have been attributed to molecular tension, to aaa Imprisoned In the rock, and to compression of schists bg granite At Hillgrovn. it is thought that the walls cf the galleries are In a state of tension or Instable'equilibrium, which la disturbed hr the least accident.

A NEW “FAR-SPEAKER.” Attachment for Talking Xachlnei Which Multiplies the Sound Many Fold.

A small valve ot peculiar construetion control* the admission into th* I trumpet of compressed sir supplied from a pump or bellow* The action of th* apparatus Is compared In the Scientific American to that of tn sdr relay, whereby not only are greater power and volume Imparted to the sound*, but the fullness and richness of tone art heightened. It is said that on a calm day the auxetopbone can t> heard distinctly at a distance of tyrp or three miles; and that in speech e*ery word may be clearly distinguished as much as 510 yards sway.

Strength of Elephants At a recent test of animal strength two elephant* broke the record by pushing the Indicator up to 8.200 pounds. One elephant alone scored 1200 pouedfy and the taro showed a strength equal to that of 75 men or six horses Two camels only pulled 2.000

th* lake and th* Alps of Ur* and Untsrwsldsn. Messrs. Loeple A Co. and Wust A On., of Zurich are the engineers and constructors of this remarkable undertaking. which may bo considered a triumph of engineering Ingenuity. The entrance to the lift is a curious grotto, excavated in the perpendicular rock. Where also the machinery Is placed. The first 220 feet of the shaft Is tunneled througE~the rock, and the continuation of the tunnel is an Iron tower, 380 feet high. In which the cage passes up the face of the cliff to the platform above, together making this lift 600 feet In height The construction of the Iron work is light and elegant, though very strong and reminds one of the Eiffel tower. This ironwork Is fixed In several places to the perpendicular cliff, and Is furnished with a bridge, which unite* the summit of the tower to the top of the mountain. Every Imaginable precaution has been taken to make the ascent absolutely free of any rink.

First Cast-Iron Pot. The first article cast In Iron in this country was s pot holding a quart. The model was made by Joseph Jenks. who deserves to be held In remembrance as the first founder In this country. His genius took a wide range. When Massachusetts attempted to supply the deficiency In specie by a silver coinage. Mr. Jenks made the dies. The shillings were stamped with the name of the colony and a pine tree In the center, "a* an apt symbol of Its progressive vigor.” Mr. Jenks also made a contract with the Selectmen cf Boston ‘for an inline to carry water la case 'ol fire"—the first nake use of s fire engine In
