TYNAMITE is the Safest and Moat Powder-. ful 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,Xondon. Boxes filled with dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of Bhock without exploding. They hare nlso been placed upon an open fire, when the dynamite burned slowly away without exploding.— Parliamentary report—Blue Book, Dynamite haß 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 _ Maior Majendie, R.A., H.MS. In ß pector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is os munh 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 •uch unnecessary restrictions as the JSitroglycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, the Chemist to Her Maiesty'e 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.
