Dynamife 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 . . Major Majendie, R.A., ELM'S. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his eyidenco (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 1 for re* lieving safe nitro-glycerine preparations from such unnecessary restrictions as the Nitrogljcerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chomigt to Her Ma* jesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of the safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.-— Blue Book, pagos 56, 57. and 59.
