In some collieries they use small, and in others thick candles; more commonly oil lamps; but generally in the north, and where fire-damp abounds, Sir Humphrey Davy's wire-gauze lanthorn (which will afterwards be described) is adopted, instead of the flint and steel mill formerly employed in the dangerous workings.
