THE SAFETY OF DYNAMITE DURING TRANSPORT AND STOP.AGE. , ' JExtra'c! a 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 hare also been placed upon an open fire, when the djnamite burned slowly away without exploding. —Parliamentary report—Blue Book, : page,l79. . Dynamite has been in a railway collision and, though the van and boxes containing it •were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page iB2, p*r. 2979 " Major Majendie, R.A., H.M'B. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is ns. mufih too stringent bb the gunpowder law is too lax; and (page 20', par. 116) that the time has come for re-lieving-safe nifcro-glycerine preparations from ■uch unnecessary restrictions as the Nitroglycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor > Abel, the Chemist to Her, Majesty's W« Department, gires his experience that 'Nobrfi dynamite is one of the safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.— Blue Book, pages 56, 57. and 59. , Agents : E.
