the gas explosion is far less to be

To show American mine owners
the danger OF dust, the bureau ex-
perts will fill their experimental
mine with dust and touch il of. The
bureau hopes to Undue eowners to
install preventive devices voluntarily,
but as the result of the experiments
the government will be asked to pass
laws compelling safety measures.
Some measures which will prevent
coal dust explosions are:
Humidifying the intake air current
with steam
Daily sprinkling of corridors.
Frequently cleaning up dust and
washing down walls with hose
Covering walls with stone dust.
Using only small flame explosives.

II has been determined beyond
doubt that the Monongah horror, tie
most terrible in history, was caused
by coal dust. In all, LAS men lost
their lives in coal dust explosions in
1907, and 400 In 1908.
Nearly all mine disasters occur
either at the beginning OF winter. or
i'm the early spring, with few dur
ing the dead of winter. December is
the most dangerous month. Rut
disasters seldom occur between April
and November.
1t doesn't just happen that way
There is a reason.
In summer the ventilation systems
are tanning warm, moist air into the
mines, and the damp coal dust set
ties to the floor and walls and will
not rise when stirred.
When cold sets in the fans blow
into the mines cold dry air. Present
~ the cold dry air takes all the
moisture from the mine. The dust
now rises at any disturbance.
The dust may become so thick in
the air that il becomes explosive. A
heavy blasting charge or a crossed
electric wire may touch II OFF. AS

WASHINGTON, Jan. The bu-
reau of mines is preparing to touch
on an explosion in a real coal mine
TO demonstrate to doubling min own
ers OF America the explosibility OF
coal dust
Mine owners say that the govern
ment experiments at Pittsburg have
only theoretical value because they
are conducted in a steel tank and
not in a mine. The government Is
trying to hammer into the heads of
the mine owners that 1t is coal dust,
not gas, that causes the most terrible
mine disasters. They will buy q
mine and blow II up to prove it.
The experimental explosions viii
have all the characteristics of the
real disaster without the usual loss
of life, for there will be no one in
the government mine when the dust
explodes. When the poisonous gases
have been driven out the experts will
enter and study thre effects of the
explosion.
Scientists have long known that
the dust OF coal, wood and grain Is
explosive; 1t is only within three
years that they have discovered that
coal dust as an explosive is powerful
as dynamite. II is no wknowns the
destruction of the Washburn and
five other -four mills of Minneapolis,
May 2, 1878, was caused by dust ex-
plosion.
