MICROPHONE FIREDAMP DETECTIVE. In France Monsieur Hardy has invented an application of the microphone to detect firedamp in mines. This is its principle: If eound-wavee from two pipes of equal pitch impinge on .microphones connected in series with a telephone, a clear note is heard; but if one of the pipes emits a slightly different note, beats will be heard in the telephone. Here is the application: One pipe is placed in the mine, the other above ground, and they are blown simultaneously. If the air in the mine is charged with firedamp, it will produce a different note from that produced by clear air, owing to the difference of den- sity, and, in consequence, a series of beats in the telephone gives warning of the pre: sence of firedamp. The same apparatus is very sensitive to the presence of coal-gas.
