On the fire-damp of coal mines, and on methods of lighting the mines so as to prevent its explosion

The great sources of fire-damp in coal mines are blowers or fissures from which currents of this inflammable gas issue in considerable quantities and for a long series of years; but there is also a certain quantity produced by the workings. The author was informed by Mr. Hodgson, that if a cask be f...
