What reading level is The Story of a Piece of Coal 8 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There wasconsiderable difference of opinion as to what these conditions were. Somewere of opinion that coal-dust and air alone were of an explosive nature, whilst others thought that alone they were not, but that the addition ofa small quantity of fire-damp rendered the mixture explosive. Animportant conclusion was come to, that, with the combustion of coal-dustalone, there was little or no concussion, and that the flame was not ofan explosive character.
Coal-dust was, however, admittedly dange...rous, especially if in a drycondition. The effects of an explosion of gas might be considerablyextended by its presence, and there seems every reason to believe that, with a suitable admixture of air and a very small proportion of gas, itforms a dangerous explosive. Legislation in the direction of the reportof the Commission is urgently needed.
We have seen elsewhere what it is in the dust which makes it dangerous, how that, for the most part, it consists of the dust-like spores of the_lepidodendron_ tree, fine and impalpable as the spores on the backs ofsome of our living ferns, and the fact that this consists of a largeproportion of resin makes it the easily inflammable substance it is.
