Boxes filled witfi dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of shock without exploding. They have also been placed upon an open fire, 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 , Beok, page 182, par. 2979 Major Majendie, R.A., H.MS. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (p ge 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is as much too stringent as the gunpowder law is too lex; and (page. 20, par. 115) that the time has 'one far relieving safe nitroglycerine preparations from such unnecessary restrictions as the Nitroglyrevine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nebel's dynamite is one «f the safest, most powerful, and moct convenient explosive' agents applicable 'to industrial purposes.— Blue Book, pages 56, 57. and's9.
