THE SAFETY OF DYNAMITE DURING TRANSPORT AND STORAGE. Extracts 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 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 explodinj;. —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., 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 Nitroglycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Majesty'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, pages 56, 57. and 59.
