nary destructive effects within a few
miles and furnished reports OF con-
siderable effects at great distances.
According to a despatch from Mon
treal. dated December 8. in the Brook
ly Eagle of Saturday, December 8,
1917, the following facts were noted
In the Halifax explosion:
Debris from shells, steel plates and
1hrapnel were found over an area OF
ten square miles with a five mile ra-
diuS. The commander of a naval
cruiser forty-nve miles off shore
thought his vessel had struck q mine.
At sydney. 200 miles distant in al air
line. the shock was like that Of an
earthquake. Windows were broken at
Thurow sixty miles away, II a clock
was shaken from a wall. A barn thir-
ty-fivo miles from Halifax was lifted
from its foundation"

mensions Ca be so severe as to pre-
sumably ~endanger weak projections
on the facades of buildings In New
York city. As to damage at Perth
Amboy. II a quantity OF 100 tons of
TINT were to explode, serious indeed
would be the effect.
1T is impossible TO state accurately
the total energy of such a system, but
al approximation deduced from the
theoretical horsepower of one pound
of INT gives. for 100 tons. a potential
energy Of 400. 100000 horsepower.
This is equivalent of 100 c~ataracts Ike
Niagara Falls. Or. IL compared with
the crushing power OF ball mills
crushing rock to powder. II would be
the equivalent of the energy required
to pulverize 10000 ton of rock.
ut must be noted that the explosion
OF large quantities at Morgan In Oc-
tober were in the form of shells. Ev-
en- though O large stock of these
should detonate en- masse the destruc-
tive effect for any great distance is re-
duced to the minimum conceivable.
for the reason that the energy of the
| explosive Is taken up in reducing the
steel shell bodies to fragments. 1t IL
! possible, also, in considering the de-
donation of the ammonium nitrate that
| the explosion or explosions of masses
of 1t scattered large fractions OF the
stored quantities without exploding
them.
Therefore, while Mr.. Maxim is
right in showing how an air wave
from a center of explosion diminishes
with geometrical rapidly as the dis
lance grows, nevertheless the damag'
es must be considered as certain with
in tho narrow ranges of a few miles
| and possibly within scores Of miles

Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-12-11

Some discussion IL still heard in this
city as TO the hazards surrounding the
remaining lots of explosives at the
Gillespie plant at Morgan.
A representative of the EVENING
NEWS interviewed Dr.. Charles +.
AcKenna the well known authority on
explosives, who testified at the close
of the investigation. IN. McKenna
was shown a PUBLISHED statement by
Hudson Maxim. tending 10 minimize
the probabilities OF injurious effects
from defamation OF any large lots of
explosives.
Maxim is said 10 claim that the
only effect to be concerned about
after the air wave has travelled a very
short distance from the site OF the ex-
plosion Is the breaking of glass. He
averred that 5000 pounds OF TINT ex-
ploded at Morgan might break some
window glass in New York, yet 81
000. 600 pounds could not by any pos
sibility transmit through the earth
such q shock as TO endanScr the New
York subways.
DIR. McKenna deprecated any fur
Their alarm In this vicinity. as he said.
IL vas not TO be presumed that the
authorities were using anything but
the most extraordinary care in hand
ling OF the explosives which they were
now shipping away as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t Is probable, in fact certain,
that never again Will Perth &mboy
be subjected to the same hazard as II
was exposed on october 4 last.
At the same time. he said. II Is well
