compound, and he ID therefore responsible for
the fatal results. ltremains now foe the auihofi-
ties to carry the case further, and anix some
penalty TO the responsibility. The testimony
Of Professor r. Ogden Doremus, who is prob
ably the ablest chemist in the country, shows
that nitro-glycerins is not necessarily more
dangerous compound than gunpowder and that
II Is less dangerous than gun cotton, and that in
proper hands II may be used with comparative
safety. Although IL will burn on the applica-
ton OF dre or red hot iron, or even stream
Of electricity from q galvanic battery OF the
highest power, yet II would not explode. These
facts he ascertained by repeated experiments.
He found, however, that nitro-glycerins would
explode, like other decorating compounds, by
pressure, and In this particular case there was
n very serious pressure caused by portion at
the orince Of the can being frozen hard, and
