DYNAMITE is the Safest and Most Powerful Explosive in use. THE SAFETY OF DYNAMITE DURING TRANSPORT AND STOUAGE. 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 0 of shock without exploding. They have also been placed upon an open fire, when the dynamite burned Blowly nway. without exploding.—Parliamentary report—Blue Book, page 179. . •■•' Dynamite has been ma railway collision and, though the van and boxes containing it were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page 182, par. 2979. .Major Majondie, 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 mtro-glycerine preparations from such unnecessary- restrictions as the Nitroelycerine Act imposes upon them. Processor 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.
