Abstract
DURING the course of the last summer the Royal Prussian Fire-damp Commission has carried out a series of experiments in the Saarbrücken mining district with the view of ascertaining the influence which coal-dust has, alone and in conjunction with fire-damp, in propagating explosions in mines. The apparatus and the mode of experiment were suggested by retired Bergwerks-director and Bergassessor Hilt, of Aix-la-Chapelle, who is a member of the Commission, and the results hitherto obtained have been of the most interesting kind.
