@. saw dynamite thawer the other
day consisting of rack upon which the
sticks of dynamite were placed, and
underneath the rack was pan of water
heated by candle flames; the steam given
off by the water upon boiling served
to thaw the powder. Is the above ap-
paratus a safe arrangement
A. No; more or less nitroglycerin ex-
udes from the cartridges when they are
heated and this drops into the pan be-
meath. If, as may easily happen, the
water boils away, the nitroglycerin in
the bottom of the pan is subjected to
the full heat of the candle fame and
may easily explode. This type of
thawer was the cause of an explosion
in the Occur d'Alene district last
