There is a widespread =isapprehen.
sion in regard to the devastating effect
Of high explosives. When unconfined
the effect even Of large charges OF them
upon structures is, comparatively
slight At the naval ordnance proving
ground, SO long ago as 1884, repeated
charges Of dynamite. varying from five
pounds to 100 pounds in weight, were
detonated on the face of a vertical tar
get consisting OF eleven one-inch
wrought-iron plates bolted to twenty
inch oak backing. until 40 pounds OF
dynamite had been SO detonated in
contact with 1t, and yet the target re-
NAMED practically uninjured, while at
Braamfontein the accidental explosion

which was stored in railway vans, ex-
cavated but 10000 tons Of soft earth.
Thus at Fort Lee on the Hudson, but
two tons OF dynamite placed in cham
