cut typos of explosives. Considerable
progress has also been made In the
InrpMlgntlon of explosives used lu
coal mining, and tho conditions un
der which they may be used with tho
least risk. Manufacturers have sub
mitted many explosives for test at
the station and a considerable por
tion of them naaoed and have been
classified among the permissible ex
plosives. The investigations and ed
ucational work' in connection with
the use of artificial breathing and
other types of mine rescue equipment,
the so-called oxygen helmets, have
not only been useful In developing a
more satisfactory use of such equip
ment In tho examination .of mine ex
plosions, but' also better methods tor
using this equipment In mine rescue
work.
The fuel Investigations under the
geological survey, and which arc
transferred to tbe bureau of mines
hare already resulted In a better real
isation throughout the country as to
the value of fuels. One result of
this work Is that, nearly alt of the
fuel now purchased by tho federal
government Is bought on specifica
tions, and subject to test by the fuel
division, or purchased after tho ex
amination made of the coal supplied
l. Ihe mines from which coal Is de
livered to tho government.
