equals the nitroglycerin itself.

of the question. If left around they
are q constant menace, for while ali
men are prone TO show their respect
for a dangerous explosive, there are
few that think any harm can come
of kick at an empty barrel There
is nothing to do but TO explode the
casks.
''This is generally done by placing
them on open ground and firing a
rifle bullet at them from a safe dis
tance. The concussion produced by
the bullet Is more than enough to
bring about an explosion. And there
