In lecture before the Aeronautfc
Society in New York City, Hiram
Maxim brought out the point that the
dropping of dynamite from air craft
would not be as dangerous to fortifi-
cations and buildings as was general
ly supposed! because, in order to do
much damage, this explosive must be
confined. If 100 pounds of it were
dropped into the smokestack OF a
warship or. exploded in the water
close to the vessel, it would be effec-
| tive, but dropping it upon the deck
would be of no avail. Mr. Maxim, as
! is we'll known, is an expert upon ex-
| plosives. He also described some new
explosives that may be available for
use In explosive motors.
