Question 15
Is the Hydrogen Sulfide smell pervasive around steam engines?
If so, how do people deal with it?

Answer to Q15
Hydrogen Sulfide is unused in most steam engines, most of the time the gas escapes or is collected at the mine. So the smell isn't that important in the cities. At the mines, Hydrogen Sulfide engines are common and they smell horrible! Masking the smell is discouraged because when you mask the smell you could walk into a gas pocket without knowing and die. Gas masks with air tanks are popular in safety conscious mines, and are catching on because it can improve output.

Question 16
What happened to Spain and its colonial empire?
