DYNAMITE is the Safest and Most Powerful Explosive in use. THE SAFETY OF DYNAMITE DURING TRANSPORT AND STOIIAGE. Extracts from the Official evidence given before the House of Commons Select Committee on Explosive Substances—Parliamentary Session of 1874, London. Boxeß 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 exploding.—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 j Maior Majendie, R.A., H.M'3. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law relating to dynamite is as munh too stringent bb the gunpowder law ia too lax; and (page 20/W 115) that the time has come for relieving safe nitro-glyceriue preparations from such unnecessary restrictions as tbe nitroglycerine Act imposes upon them. Professor Abel, tho Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives his experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of the safeßt, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes. — Blue Book, pages 56, 57. and 59.
