  <dc:title>Unpublished paper, on the prevention of disaster in coal mines by J [John] Senhouse</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Senhouse offers a solution to the problem of gas buildup leading to explosions in coal mines. Senhouse's solution relies on irrigation via a fire engine pipe used to create a 'shower' within the mine, inspired by methods used to clear the air at the bottom of a disused well.
