Cloche hat of lace and velvet. The deep, domed crown is of peach satin (?) overlaid with a silver metallic lace. At the front of the crown are applied leaf shapes of dark pink velvet that form a fan-motif. The lowest leaves on each side extend to become a shallow brim for the hat, also formed of the dark pink velvet. The leaves and the brim are quilted with metallic silver stitching. The hat is lined in pink satin(?). Label sewn inside crown: "Pittsburgh / Character Hats / New York / Trade Mark Reg. / U.S. Pat. Office"

From Preface: "The writer began testing the rock-dusting method for the Bureau of Mines at the Pittsburgh gallery in 1909, and later continued such testing in the bureau's experimental mine, with favorable results. Beginning in 1911 the bureau issued reports recommending rock dusting as alternative to watering."

From Introduction: "Coal dust as an agent of widespread explosions had been under suspicion, and watering to allay the dust was recommended by some mining engineers but the watering of coal-mine dust was adopted in comparatively few mines of the United States and Great Britain, and had not been introduced widely in any country except Germany. Rock dusting, another method of preventing explosions of coal dust, was early tested with success by the Bureau of Mines in its first gallery at Pittsburgh and, beginning in 1911, at the experimental mine, Bruceton, Pa."

From Introduction: "The analyses given in this bulletin are of samples of delivered coal. This bulletin gives the results of analyses of samples delivered coal collected from July 1, 1915 to January 1, 1922."

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over experiments conducted on coal-dust explosions. The results of the experiments are presented and discussed. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Patent for "a method of securing even heating of oil retorts and the like throughout their length" and "a new apparatus, particularly intended for the heating and cracking of oils to convert the same into pyrolytic products". The invention may be used for any oil converting retort, but the patent description relates to the production of gasoline.

Patent for a method to improve the free burning properties of mined sulfur by carbonizing the oil and eliminating carbon.

Patent for heating sulfur under appropriate conditions in order to carbonized oil contained within, allowing stationary sulfur to burn without difficulty or interference from carbon.

Patent for "new and useful Improvements in the Utilization of Aluminum Chlorid Residues" (lines 6-7) including instructions and illustrations.

Report discussing description of equipment tested to prevent explosions when using coal-cutting explosions and provides explanation of fire damp protection theory.

From Prefactory Statement: "In this bulletin are presented the results obtained in the first two phases of the work outlined above. The bulletin is in two parts. The first part describes the methods of mining and milling used, suggests a standard method of sampling finished graphite, and describes a rapid and convenient method of analysis developed at the Pittsburgh station of the Bureau of Mines, to which has been assigned the analytical and microscopic work. The second part describes experiments on the concentration and milling of graphite, which were made at the Salt Lake City, Utah, station."
