SEVEN STICKS OF DYNAMITE.

Seven one-pound sticks of dynamite lying at the bottom of the Chicopee River just above the upper dam at Chicopee Falls threatens with destruc- ton not only the plants and buildings lying adjacent to the dam, but also, owing to the quantity, buildings sit- uated farther away. The dam itself is likely to go when the explosion occurs and the lower part of the falls will be well flooded. That loss of human life would result in case of an explosion of this sort would be highly probable. The danger from the sticks of dynamite is not that they will explode where they are, but that gradually they will be drawn by the current into the canal, where a few blows from the water wheel will do the business.
 The putting of the dynamite into the river is the story of an effort to get it out of the way of doing harm. Some weeks ago the Belcher-Taylor Com- pany had some junk broken up by dy- namite. This was done in pasture on the north side of the river, little way above the shop The work was done and the man who did it went away. But he left behind him, under tree, seven sticks of dynamite. These sticks, which look like Roman candles, were there some days. and as boys frequent the pasture, it is a wonder that they were not heard from by bad accident. The sticks were finally discovered bp one of the few Germans who, live in Chicopee, and reported to the police.
 The disposal of the sticks presented bit of problem. No one wanted to put them in lookup and they couldn't we'll be chopped up for kindling wood So they were put into the river. The thought occurred, however, that there was some danger in this and man from Longmeadow, who was familiar with the handling of the explosive, ex- ainined the place and gave his opinion that danger of an explosion existed through the drawing down of the dy- namite into the mill wheel It is said that no immediate danger of an explo-
