Abstract
DURING the past thirty years, the Colliery Warnings appearing from time to time in various leading newspapers in the British coalfields have been vigorously, even viciously, attacked by a few mining engineers and professors of mining. Two excuses have been advanced as an explanation of these onslaughts—warnings are held to be an insult to the intelligence of miners, and, although based upon recorded facts, they are diametrically opposed to theory, to the common view, and to educated opinion. It is the theory that forms the burden of a column article on the subject in the Times of January 4, and it is the theory which Prof. Henry Louis harps upon in NATURE of January 12, pp. 336–8.
