EXPLOSIONS AND EXPLOSIVES ,
The greater sensitiveness of dynamite as compared
with gun-cotton is well illustrated by their different
behaviour when fired at with a rifle. If a wooden box
filled with dry compressed gun-cotton is exposed to this
treatment, the contents of the box are generally inflamed
but never exploded. Dynamite, on the contrary, and
other explosives derived from nitro-glycerine, cannot
contain themselves when treated in such a fashion, and
go off1 with great violence.
