The word dynamite" is in con-
slant use, but not one person in fif-
ty has any idea as to the materials
entering into the manufacture Of
this terrible explosive Or how it is
made. Giant, Hercules, Jupiter and
Atlas powders are all in fact dyna-
mite, differing principally in the
percentage Of nitroglycerin they
contain and consequently the de-
gree of danger incidental to their
handling.
Nitroglycerin, discovered by an
Italian chemist in iS45. is com

nitric acid and is the ingredient
which gives to dynamite its explo-
sive strength. Nitroglycerin alone
is extremely dangerous to handle
and for this reason and for the
sake of convenience is made into

and IS per cent I nitroglycerin.

organic matter. and il is also sifted
to FREE il from large grains. While

firing is done by illuminate of silver

patent exploders.
Nitroglycerin IS made OF nitric
acid one part and sulphuric acid two
parts, TO which is added ordinary
glycerin. the mixture being wen
