Abstract
AFTER the occurrence of great colliery explosions such as those which took place recently in Pemberton and Blantyre collieries, one very general and pertinent question presents itself to most minds, namely, What has been done or attempted with the view of preventing these disasters? It would be impossible to condense into an article like the present all that could be said in reply to this question, but I shall endeavour to give a brief outline of the subject, and point out, as well as I can, what appear to be its most prominent features.
