To STOP NINE EXPLOSIONS
GOVERNMENT HAS A BUREAU
STUDYING THE SUBJECT.
Inspector La Rue of West Virginia
Suggests a Cure-Owners Are
Cooperating.

The report that Mine Inspector La Rue
q: West Virginia has discovered a cure
for dust explosions in coal mines is re-
caived with skepticism at the geological
survey where a special bureau has been
established for studying that species OF
accident. Dust explosions in American
coal mines were both more frequent and
more disastrous the past year than ever
before more than 5000 victims being
recorded. The government took up the
study OF the subject and there have been
numerous experiments in the mines some
of them carried on by the government eX-
peTts and some by the mine operators.
The scheme advanced by Mr. La Rue is
TO introduce hot air into the mines and
thus aid the condensation OF moisture
which is one OF the greatest safeguards
against the accumulation of the explosive
dust.
Officials of the geological survey inter
ested in the protective work say that the
mine owners have co-operated with them
very salts. actOrily and have themselves
put in number OF dust laying plants
Pumping in Exhaust Steam.
This is done in many cases by pumping
the exhaust steam from the boiler plant
into the mines. This charges the air
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-11-28

with moisture and tends 70 wet down the
walls. Another scheme is to lay a pipe
line from the mouth of the mine with
spray noZZles at intervals continually
throwing out a mist.
AS the mines have been run for MANY
years dust explosions We're theoretically
more common in winter than they were
in summer. The explosion is of an ac-
cumulation of dust in the air. In winter
the air in the mine Is warmer than that
outside and will take up more moisture
while in the summer, the air of the mine
Is cooler than Outside and the warm
moisture-laden air coming into contact
with the cold air Of the mine drops its
moisture in the form sweat" over the
mine walls. 1t was found last summer
however, that in very dry seasons the out
side air contributes little moisture TO the
air of the mine and the disastrous expIo-
slons which marked that period were the
result. II is believed that the mines
at comparatively small expense, can be
equipped with dust lyaing plants and the
fatalities reduced In ,his country to
something like the small number in mines
abroad.
