DYNAMITE is the Safoat and Most Powerful Explosive in use. THE SAFETY OF DYNAMITE DURING ■ TRANSPORT AND STOKAGE. Extract b from Ibo Official evidence given before the House of Commons Select Committee on Explosive Substances—Parliamentarj Session of 1874, London. Boxes filled with dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of shock without exploding. They aave also been placed upon an open fire, when the dynamite burned slowly away without ex* ploding. —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 Major Majendie, R.A., EMU Inspector of . Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (pa»o 18, pnr. 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 Hmojiae come for relieving safe nitro-glyccrine un.-pnrnfcious from •uch unnecessary restrictions as the Nitroglycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to H«r Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of tue safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.— i Blue Book, pages 56, 57. and 59. .
