The varying forms of dynamite were dealt with by Mr 11. A, Campbell, civil engineer) and formerly professor at Canterbury College, giving evidence in the Supremo Court on Thursday (states the "Christchurch Times"). Dynamite was called by various names, he saw, but was formed of pitre-glycerine with other materials. The names given to the various explosives were purely connected with the trade. Although the amount varied, nitro-glycerine was the main active compound. In gelignite there was from 62 to 65 per cent of nitro-glycerine, which rendered it n fairly high explosive. To counsel, Mr Campbell said that miners often carried gelignite against their bodies to keep it warm. "But they do things like that," he added. "Personally, T would not like to do it." Mr Campbell added that many practices of miners were dangerous and common—he had done thorn himself, but he would not recommend them. Another expert witness said that gelignite was much less sensitive than dynamite, and that was one of the reasons for its use in blasting. Other reasons were that it was more convenient, was a homogeneous mass, and was not affected by water to such an extent as was dynamite.
