Fire damp, white damp and black damp are names commonly used by miners for methane, carbon monoxide and carlon dioxide as well as for mixtures of each of these gases wilh air or other gases that form respectively explosive, poisonous and suffocating mine atmospheres. In some cases, mine workers not familiar with the composition and properties of gases mistak- enly call white damp black damp, anii the same error is common in general newspaper reports of mine explosions written by reporters not familiar with the radically different effects of car-lio- n monoxide and carbon dioxide on human life. Fire (lamp i the name given by the miners to methane itself and to any detertalde mixture of mothune and air. Methane is a colorless, odorless and taste leu gas that exudes in varying quantities from the pores of the coal in practically all mines, thougli often in Midi small volume that it ean only lie detected by most careful chemical or iqiecial instrument tests. In many other cases it ran lie detected when it exudes in surh volume as to romiose over 2 or 2V4 per cent of the mine atmosphere by its effect on the flame of an ordinary Davy safety lamp. Sometimes the methane, under high pressure in fissures and crevices in the seam or its adjoining strata, issues from sueli places through cracks in the coal face or in the floor or the roof in small streams commonly railed blowers. In some eases it occurs under sueh very high pressure and in anch quantities that, aa the mine workings approach such accumulations, the pressure bursts the solid coal from its position in the seam and the gas, expanding many timet in volnme, rushes into the mine workings, causing what is called a sudden outburst of gas. Is Lighter Than Air. Methane, volume for volnme, ia much lighter than air. Therefore the pure gas, or a mixture of that gaa and air, risea to the roof and to oavatiea in the roof eauaed by falls of top. In inclined seama it also tends to flow np the pitch and to accumulate against the roof and face of riaa workings. As ita chemical symbol (CI14) indicates, it is a chemical combination of one atom of rarbon with fonr of hydrogen. Aa it eontaina no oxygen it will not ignite or explode unless it ia ao mixed or diffused with air that it will draw enough free oxygen from the nir to make the carbon and oxygen in ita combination combustible. From 5.5 to 13 (ier rent of methane diffused in air will make more or lesa explosive mixture. Beyond these the mixture will not ignite. The maximum explosive force occurs when the mixture rontains 9.38 per ent of methane. In actual mining experineee, since the mine air may contain other gases besides methane, the figures given are regarded only as close approximations. White damp is an after damp that results from incomplete combustion. It is chemically known as carbon monoxide and is a chemical mixture of one atom of earbon with one of oxygen and is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It is a very little lighter than air and is extremely poisonous. One per cent of it in the air will very quickly reuse the death of the man breathing it It has a wide explosive Tange any proportion of it from 13 lo 75 per cent mixed with air will form an explosive mixture. Unquestionably it is the most dangerous and most treacherous of any of the gases ordinarily met with in coni mines. Carbon monoxide or white damp is a resultant of all fire damp explosions when the percentage of methane in the fire damp exceeds 9.38 per cent. It ia also a product of mine fires when, as is often the case, incomplete combustion of rarbonaeeous matter occurs. Owing to its extremely poisonous nature and its property of Tcadilv diffusing in air, carbon monoxide produced in one portion of a mine may be disastrous to men in other parts if the air current flowing to (them should become contaminated with it Investigations following dis-- ; astrons mine explosions and fires 'have proved that many men in por- tions of the mine not directly affected the explosion or fire were killed by by ' the resultant white damp. This white ' damp or earls n monoxide is the gas that has caused the death of many automobilists who were in poorly ven- tilated garages when their engines ' were running. Known Aa Black Damp. Black damp is the name applied by most coal miners to carbon dioxide, a ' colorless and odorless .gas which is not rombustible and which will not support combustion. As uts chcraieal symbol (C02) indicates, it is a combination of one atom of earbon with two of oxygen. It is the heaviest, densest gas ordinarily found, Ita chief source of production in the mines is the eomplete combustion of carbonaceous matter in firrdamp explosions or mine fires of which it u the principal resultant gas. To a small extent it is exuded from the pores of eoal, and is produced by the breathing of men and animals. In some eases,' too, where water from es BAH, SAKS TAKES HU.
