Discoveries Said to

Chicago Professor Tells of New Meth
DDS in Mines by Which Explosions
May Be Prevented

CHICAGO, Dec l7.-Prof. Thomas cham
berlain Of the University OF chicago. i'm a
magazine article issued late today, declares
that government experts have made dis
coveries by which the danger Of such mine
disasters as those az Cherry, H., and iu
West Virginia can be eliminated. He says
that the discoveries have not as yet been
given publicity by the federal bureau OF
mines.
The finds referred to are described by
Prof Chamberlain as follows:
Spraying the tunnels and shafts OF
mines with a douche OF shale dust and
water at frequent intervals viii not only
make the coal dust Of floors and walls al
most proof against fire from a sudden eN-
ploson. but viii prevent the rise Of much
Of the gas that makes an explosion pos
sible
THE danger from too strong ventilation.
which has stirred up the free coal dust in
the passages and caused many explosions,
is obviated by this method. The drying
shale forms a coating over the dust and
air currents sufficient to clear out any
gases that may accumulate.
In this way even II local explosion is
inevitable at times from the sudden issue
Of gas its general spread through the mine
is made much less probable, II not actually
impossible"
