Smokers Fail To
Gas Selves In
Sealed Room

WASHINGTON, u. G., August
l5.-Thc much moo;cd question as
TO whether the carbon monoxide
present il. tobacco smoke constitutes
a hazard to the smoker in coufined
iuaocr spaces seems to have been
settled as rosuI, Of tests gust com
pleted bv the Department of the
Interior at the experiment station
of the Bureau of Mines at Pitts
burch, which demonstrated the
danger to be negligible.
The tests, which were performed
in the course Of general studies of
the Bureau of Mines relative to
gas hazards in mines, were made
on three men confined III a sealed
chamber Of 1000 cubic feet. The
three subjects putfed mcrrily fer
The space of au hour and a half
at cigarettes of every variety,
Turkish, Egyptian. the old Virgil
mia brand, and the type wherein the
smoker rolls his own. Follow
ing this the smokers drew energetic

Mauilas and IIavanas of choice
degree. Finally they puffed fran
tically at pipes, at pipes of clay
and cob, at pipes of meerschaum
and briar. At the conclusion Of
the performance the mir of the
closed chamber had become so
smoky that It was impossible to
sec across the room. The atmos-
phore was Sc irritating to the eyes
that it was necessary to wear
goggles.
Samples of the atmosphere and
blood samples of the smokers were
then taken for analysis. 1t WIS
found that in no instance did the
carbon monoxide content OF air eX-
ceed 1-1O0 of one per cent. The
maximum blood saturation WAS five
per cent. Some of the subjects sup
posedlv inhaled their smoke, but
the tests indicated that such in
halation, though it may have eX-
tended to the bronchial tubes, did
not penetrate throughout The lungs.
The tests Indicate that carbon
moneyide hazard from smoking in
doors or in mines is negligible in
tself, though the Bureau cf Mines
investigators consider that it may
add TO the smoker 5 hazard should
he be caught by carbon monoXide
from sources such as occur in the
mining industry.

miners were under ground when the
explosion occurred.
1t is believed that gas explos-
ion occurred, followed by a tumb-
ling of tons of earth, cutting off
about five score miners. The blast
was not heard on the surface, but
when news of it spread rescue
parties from surrounding camps and
Il government rescue car were
quickly on the scene. 1t was five
and a half hours after the explosion
before any of the survivors came to
the surface.
Desperate Underground Panic
Those who went into the gas
laden mine during the night fought
their way through debris, fallen
timbers, rock and earth to the
scene of the blast with the greatest
difficulty. They found evidences
that a desperate panic underground
had caused many deaths.
In some instances apparently,
groups of miners, fear maddcned
by the blast, had rushed blindly
about until they encountered the
deadly gases that were sweeping
through the entries. Then they piled
up hopclcssly against4an impenetra-
bic barrier and died struggling.
Survivors told of one instance
where the coolness of one veteran
miner saved 2S.
This old timer kept his comrades
with him in Groom that was
free from gas; they were brought
out alive; those that ran from the
protected spot to the shaft met the
gas and fell dead.
