In gassy coal mines, abandoned worked-out areas are natural reservoirs that may contain air- methane mixtures. The quantity of such mixtures is continuously increasing or decreasing as atmospheric pressure falls or rises. This is in accordance with Boyle's Gas Law, which states that the volume of a perfect gas varies inversely with the absolute pressure. In large, open gob areas without a bleeder ventilation system, atmospheric pressure is a static force acting in all directions. Changes in atmospheric pressure may occur rapidly or slowly, but any change will result in a change in the quantity of gob air-methane mixtures.

WILDER D. BANCROFT,* Washington, D. C. (written discussion?).¬In two-phase systems there are three possibilities and Mr. Alexander has only considered two. We may have the first phase the internal one and the second the external one; we may have the first phase the external one and the second phase the internal one; and we may have both phases continuous. This last case occurs when we have a roll of wire fencing standing in the air; the wire is continuous and so is the air. It is quite probable that this case occurs very often in alloys and it it, therefore, important that it should not be overlooked. With gulch,
