Mr.. Alfred Nobel, the inventor and
chief manufacturer of dynamite, is
emphatically a man of peace, and de-
plorcs the use of the explosive a de-
stroyer of human life. "n l did not
regard it as on the whole a great
blessing TO humanity" he said re-
Gently. Il would close up all my fac
tories and never make another ounce
of the stuff" He detests the use Of
dynamite by the Anarchists and when
he heard of the Haymarket butchery
at Chicago he exclaimed: Il would
like TO gather the whole crowd OF
them into a storehouse fun of dyna-
mite and blow them all up together. !"
