The Women Miners in Pants Who Shocked Victorian Britain
In
the Victorian age, coal mining in Britain paid so little that not only
did a miner work long hours underground, so did his wife and children.
Women and children were paid half as much as a man, but every little bit
helped keep the family fed. An inspection of a Staffordshire mine in
1841 revealed women and children as young as five working underground.
What shocked the commissioners the most was how the women were dressed.
They would ditch their shirts to work in the hot mines, and even worse,
they wore trousers!
When women and children under ten were forbidden to work underground, they sought jobs up top sorting coal. The women at the mines in Wigan, still wearing trousers, became a tourist attraction for those wanting to witness such a scandal. Read about the pants-wearing women of the mines at Atlas Obscura.But women miners had few options when it came to clothing: flimsier, cooler clothing, which revealed the contours of their body, were seen as “an invitation to promiscuity.” Trousers, and other practical garments, were “unwomanly”—and often led to wardrobe malfunctions. In his 1842 speech to Parliament, Lord Ashley described how the work sometimes wore holes in the crotch of these women and girls’ trousers: “The chain passing high up between the legs of two girls, had worn large holes in their trousers. Any sight more disgustingly indecent or revolting can scarcely be imagined than these girls at work. No brothel can beat it.” (What’s especially striking about these observations is that they seem more concerned about the modesty of the women than that they toiled in life-threatening situations.)

Cosmic-ray imaging finds hidden structure in Egypt's Great Pyramid
Researchers announced the discovery on Thursday but said they did not know the purpose, contents or precise dimensions of what they are calling a “void” or “cavity” inside the pyramid, built as a monumental tomb around 2560 BC.
To peer inside the pyramid, the scientists used an imaging technique called muon tomography that tracks particles that bombard Earth at close to the speed of light and penetrate deeply into solid objects.
The ozone hole, which forms over the icy continent each September, was measured at its peak this year on September 11 over an area two and half times the size of the U.S., said NASA. From then on, the size declined throughout September and into October.

Farmers Urged to Bury Their Underpants for Better Beef
The
latest advice for farmers sounds like a superstition: to improve
yields, dig a hole in your field and bury your underpants for two
months. If you have several fields, you'll need to cough up more
underwear. The idea began with the "Soil My Undies" challenge from the
California Farmers’ Guild, and is now recommended by the Agriculture and
Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) and Quality Meat Scotland (QMS).
But it's no old wives' tale. The underwear must be made of cotton, and
the result is a relatively cheap and easy soil test.
Soil that is worked over by microbes, insects, and worms will be more nutritious for the plants that grow there, and for the animals that graze the fields. Read more about the underpants test at the Telegraph.Evan Wiig, Executive Director of the California Farmers’ Guild, said: “Cotton is an organic material and breaks down naturally just like anything else you’d put in your compost pile. So if you bury cotton in soil teeming with life, all those creatures will begin to feast.
“If you have dead soil, if it is totally lifeless you should be able to pull the pants out of the ground, throw it in the washing machine and put them on like nothing ever happened. If you have incredibly healthy soil, you should have nothing left but an elastic strap.”
