NEW SAFE EXPLOSIVE
SUCCEEDS DYNAMITE
Is Invented by New York Guardsman
/ Who VIII Give Formula Worth
/ S5GO,0OO to Government


New York. July 24--The safest high
power explosive the world has yet seen,
an explosive equal to the strongest
dynamite made, the $50 per cent dyna-
mite" has been perfected by a lieuten-
ant of the Ney York national guard
after three years work.
He will give it 10 the United States
government although half dozen ma
lions would pay from 100000 Up for
the secret formula It is more than
probable that in a year or two the
other explosives. Lieut. Harold Chase
Woodward of the 22d engineers, ma
tional guard, New York. is the inventor
Of trotol, the newest and the most
deadly explosive
TrotoI can be exploded only by full
inmate of mercury, the substance used
to explode dynamite 1t cannot be set
off by any shock however great In
test at Fort WadsWOrth, trOtOl was
packed into a II inch shell and the
shell was fired at armOr plate 1000
yards away. The shell struck the
armOr plate while going at a rate Of
275O feet a second, but the trotOl in
side remained unexploded IN spite Of
the terrific conclusion
Six ounces Of trOtol will do the ex-
pIosiye work of u ounces Of dynamite.
Dynamite deteriOrates- in water or on
the water and under certain atmoS-
pheric conditions TrOtol can be soaked
in water for years and be as good as
ever.
The standard high explosive of the
army is wet guncotton. Trotol can be
carried wet or dry and the illuminate
of mercury, which must be kept yards
away from dynamite lest a premature
explosion result may come as close
as six inches TO trOtOl without danger
Like dynamite, trotol cannot be eN-
ploded by ignition and merely burns
when fire touches it TrOtol has a
longer name. It is derived from a
coal tar byprOduct which has been sub
jected to stop up nitratiOn. that IS, re-
duced to dregs.
