STOP MINE
EXPLOSIONS
K. U. SCIENTISTS EXPERIMENT
ING WITH GAS AND DUST.
INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETE
Exhaustive Work In the Laborato-
ries Under All Known Conditions
Being Done by Graduates of
the Engineering School.
Lawrence Kan. Oct. 1 1. "Can
coal mine explosions Iim prevent-
ed?" This Is the question that the
Kansas State Geological survy Is
trying to answer by uiuiius of it
series of comprehensive Investiga-
tions of explosions supplemented
by laboratory experiments with gas-
es and dust under known condi
tions. Tlio work Is In the immediate
charge of I'rof. C. M. Young head
of the department of mining engi-
neering In tho university and he
has had four men working on the
subject constantly for the last six
months.
It is tlio intention of Prof. 11a-
worth who Is directing the work
to make tho investigation as com
plete as possible and to this end
the work will cover not only ox-
iloslous In this country but the In
ferences are to bo drawn from au-
thentic accounts of explosions In
Europe us well so that the work
wjll have the distinction of being
the first attempt to cover the field.
Prof. Young has madu several
trips through thu Kansas district
Hid has gone twice into the anthra
cite region of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia collecting these facts
and now has a fairly comprehensive
survey of conditions whero Import-
int accidents have happened. In the
meantime Frnnk llrock. Harvey El-
edge and Wallace Pratt all grad
uates In mining engineering In the
university have been conducting
thousands of experiments In the lab
oratories with powder coal dust and
the "damps" common to coal mines
n order to determine whot propor
tions of those substances In the
ilr are dangerous.
"I think the remedy will be found
to lie In using good horse sense
in mine work" said Prof. Young
yesterday. "I think wo can find
practically all thu conditions that
will produce an explosion and
then it wilt bo up to the miners
to use their heads and avoid these
conditions."
The results of the work will bo
published by the state as a part of
the work of the geological survey
as soon as It Is completed.
