IN BULK

In view of the popular superstition as to the dangerous nature of nitro-glycerine, and as to the advisability of storing it is big tanks in the tropics, a statement of facts on this much mis- understood subject may be of interest to our readers. The question as to whether the in- stallation of storage tanks on a large scale In the heart of this Colony would be a source of -danger or not is out of the range of dis

cussion entirely; trade rivalry and other less honourable motives lead to agitation against it, but to an impartiel (J✔ German) mind there are no two ways about of that there is no possible doubt, no possible probable shadow of daub, no possible doubt whatever! What we give in the present contribution is merely a record of fets, gleaned from interested and unscrupulous sources, with regard to the nitro-glycerino trade.

Nitro-glycerine is a treadly sort of sweetmeat, largely used in the fishlog industry. A mali dose of it, made up in the form of dynamite
