Km DYNAMITE ifl the Safest and Moat Powerful Explosive in .use. _ The Safety of Dynamite During Transport and Storage. Extraots from the Official evidence given before the House of Commons Select Committee on Explosive Substances—Parliamentary Session of 1874 London. Boxes filled with dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and founo. to sustain any amount of shook without exploding. They have also been placed upon an open nro, when the dynamite burned slowly away without exploding.—Parliamentary report —Blue Book, page 179. Dynamite has been in a railway collision, and, though the van and. boxes containing it were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page 182, par. 2979. Maior Maiendte, R.A., H.Ms. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is as much too stringent as the gunpowder law is too lax; and (page 20, par 115) that the time has come for relieving safe nitro-glycerine preparations from such unnecessary restrictions as the nitro-glycerine Act mposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite 18 one of tho safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.—Blue Book, pages 56. 57, and 59, Agents: E.
