A LIFE-SAYING INVENTION FOR…
A LIFE-SAYING INVENTION FOR COLLIERIES. IN a district so often overshadowed with sor- row through the dread consequences of the holocaust in the mine, we make nu apology for taking ths earliest opportunity afforded as of drawing attention to what seems to us the most practical theory ever propounded for saving men from the perils of the insidious after-damp. When philanthropists, scientists, and practical workers in all parts of the world are straining their powers to discover means of minimising the less of life attendant upon mining operations, it is gratifying to find that apparently the most original, simple and effective invention for that purpose should emanate from a Welshman who is a native of Merthyr, and is connected with a Rhondda colliery. We refer to Mr Herbert Kirkhouse, of Tylorstown, who has taken steps to patent in this country, in France, and in Belgium, his system of Underground Lampstations and Places of Refuge for workmen. The idea is to construct places of safety in a colliery, where safety lamps can be re-lighted in the interior workings, so as to prevent the possibility of danger from the exposure of naked lights, and also to avoid the present dangerous practice of having to travel great distances to the lamp- stations to obtain light whec lamps have been extinguished. These places, it is pointed out, being known to the colliers, would, at the time of an explosion, be of special value as harbours of refuge towards which the men might make their way instead of, as at present, rushing towards the pit bottom, their only outlet, but an outlet they are frequently unable to reach. The invention consists in having compartments of steel, iron, or any other material that can be made air-tight and strong enough to resist a high pressure, both external and internal, or (where possible and suitable) constructed in the rock or earth. Each compartment, or station, is to be provided with separate in-take and outlet pipes communicating with the sur- face, while the openings or ways into the compartments will be through a series of doors or manholes, so that by closing the same the compartment will be cut off from the mine. Althongh the inventor does not claim to have succeeded in preventing the possibility of colliery explosions occurring, it cannot be denied that a system such as he lays down would tend to materially reduce the chances of a catastrophe, inasmuch as it provides facilities for obtaining light, while diminishing the use of naked lights, in the places not directly sup- plied with fresh air. But the fact that, should an explosion happen, or the ventilation be interfered with in any way, the lamp-stations would be places of refuge within reasonable reach of the men seems to us to render the invention one of the utmost importance. To carry this idea out, it is suggested that tinned provisions shonld be placed in these stations, so that men who might retreat to these refuges after an accident may have the means of sub- sistence until they are rescued or all danger is over. The annals of the South Wales coal- field show that, heavy as the sscrifice of life in the ptst has been, the deaths attributable to the actual force of the explosion number but few as compared with the fearful record of the suffocating after-damp. The invention we are speaking of is an endeavour to provide retreats for the victims of this deadly enemy, and though the idea may be open to trifling ob- jections, it is one deserving of extensive adop- tion as coming from a practical mining engineer of great experience and undoubted ability. Mr Herbert Kirkhouse has on many occasions figured prominently among the bands of intrepid explorers and rescuers who always volunteer their services when explosions have happened in this district, but no amount of personal effort in that direction can compare with the general good to be done with an invention which may save thousands of lives and which will, we trust, carry the name of our fellow-countryman down to future genera- tions as a benefaetor, not of an age, but for all time.

She did not curse him or take up a stone.—George Davies, brother to defendant, said de- fendant held up his hand to stop complainant, but she went on pushing her tram. She was going to hit defendant with a stone but he stopped her.—Wm. Jenkins, ostler at the colliery, said he was near the parties. It would have been easier for complainant to have gone back than for defendant to do so. She swore at him and picked up a stone to throw at him. It is the rule at the works that empty trams shall make room for full ones.—Dismissed. GRIEVOUS BODILY HAHM AT CLYLACH VILE.—Ben- jamin Goodwin, Wm.

Goodwin came on and said Here's old David Wood, what's the matter on you." Told him he ought to go home. Benjamin Goodwin came up asking where is he? He bounced at witness and with a blow of his fist knocked him down. He was knocked and struck when on the ground. His nose bled from the blows. He was kicked in the side and injured so severely that he could not rise in his bed without assistance. Dr. Williams attended him. Had been unable to work since.-Cross- examined: He told his wife to come in and leave these Irish ef hell alone. He said that because they were so rowdy.—Richard Poole said he was on the door and saw Benjamin Goodwin with his coat and top shirt off. Mrs Woods was out talk- ing and David came out to fetch her in. Mrs Good- win said what the devil is David Woods bothering about. Benjamin then ran on and knocked Woods down. All four defendants were there. He saw David kicked twice in the ribs by some of the four, but he could not say which. They were shoving and kicking him about 40 yards beyond his door. Com- plainant's son came out with a poker but did not use it% There was blood all over complainant's head and coat.—Cross-examined: He did not interfere because he was looking out for himself.—Mr Morgan That's the cast of man you are, to let your friend be beaten without rendering assistance. — J. Jones, collier, said he heard the row. On going out he. saw William and Benjamin pitching into David Woods. They beat him as much as they could.-Howell Powell said when Woods was knocked down all the defendants kicked him. He picked Wood up and was himself struck on the head with a stone.—A.S. Walters said he apprehended the four prisoners and charged them with assault. Edward Goodman sold I was there but I did net touch Wood nor did my brother Wil- liam. There was a squabble between Ben and Ted and Wood, but he did not interfere." Benjamin Goodwin said I went to look for Stephen Jones for threatening to strike my brother.

It was safe at six o'clock. Gave information to the police the following Tuesday. On the following Thursday the coat was brought to his shop by Inspector Jones. The coat is worth .Sl Is. lld.-Inspector Jones said on the 6th instant, about six o'clock, he saw defendant with three other tramps at the ooke ovens at Porth. Saw defendant with a bundle, and another bundle close to him. On being asked he said they belonged to him, and he had them from his sister at Tondu and Cardiff.

THE SUNLIGHT" SOAP TRADE MARK…
THE SUNLIGHT" SOAP TRADE MARK CASE. The action of Lever and Co. against Hazle. hurst and Co. was commenced on Tuesday, Feb. 9tli, before Mr. Justice Chitty, sitting in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. Mr.Romer, Q.C., Mr. Lockwood, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. Cutler, instructed by Mr. J. Seymour Sala- man, of 3, King Street, Cheapside, London, appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Macnaghten, J.C., Mr. Finlay, Q.C., Mr. Healey, and Mr. Macnaghten appeared for the defendants. Mr. Romer, Q.C., in opening the .plaintiffe' case, said the action was brought to restrain the defendants from selling or offering for sale tablet* of soap in a manner calculated and intended to deceive and had deceived purchasers into the belief that the soap so offered for sale was the plaintiffs' soap, and for damages. His Lordship.—This is not an action for in- fringement of trade mark, but an action for fraud. You say that the defendants' acts are intended to and are calculated to deceive ? Mr. Romer said that that was so. The plain- tiffs were wholesale soap merchants and grocers, carrying on business in Bolton and Wigan. They are now soap manufacturers at Warrington, though at the time this action was commenced they had their soaps manufactured for them. The defendants were soap manufscturers carrying on business at Runoorn, and formerly they manufac- tured the plaintiffs' soap to their order, but some dispute arising as to price, the defendants ceased to manufacture for the plaintiffs in December, 1884. The plaintiffs employed sev- eral means to identify the soap manufactured for them. In the first place they adopted the word "Sunlight" to distinguish all soap which they sold, and impressed that name on all their tablets. They sold other soaps, such as Crown and family mottled, but the word Sun. light became the distinguishing name for their soaps, and they registered this word as their trade mark on the 2nd of February, 1884. In September, 1884, the plaintiffs had manufactured for them a kind of soap having the peculiar quality of being able to be used in salt water; and in order to identify this class of soap the plain. tiffs called it Self-washer soap. His Lordship.-You don't mean that the soap washes itself ? Mr. Romer replied in the negative. It waa a coined appellation, and was registered as a trade mark on the 19th of September, 1884. Sinoe the motion for injunction was before the court the plaintiffs had discovered that numerous orders had been sent by grocers and others to the defen- dants for Sunlight Soap and Perfect Self- washer Soap," and they had executed such orders. The affidavits on both sides were then put in and read. After Mr. Salkeld, the junior partner in the defendants' firm had been examined, and whilst Mr. Garlick, of the Manchester Co-operative Stores was under cross-examination, an arrange- ment wascome to between counsel on both suies. Mr. Romer, for the plaintiff, said the order which had been agree on was an injunction against the defendants, in the terms of the notice of motion, and the defendant paying costs and the usual inquiry as to damages. The plaintiff had brought a series of actions against, grocers in various parts of Lancashire, and these they con- sented to withdraw, Messrs. Hazlehurst paying the costs of these actions also.—Ord er accordingly. This trial has ocoupied several days, and attracted considerable attention, one notable feature of the case was the swooning away of one of the defendants' witnesses while uuder cross-examination.
