As I have shown you, you can smash up dynamite on an anvil without danger, but if a hammer happened to strike a spot of free nitroglycerine it would explode in a moment. I beg to apologize to you for my momentary neglect." A man rose up in the middle of the hall, and it was some little time before he could command voice enough to speak, for he was shaking as if from palsy.
"It takes fire to set this stuff off, doesn't it?" he asked. "No," Dick replied. "If it's nitroglycerine in that box, a light, sharp blow might be enough to do the trick. At least, that was about what Dr. Thornton said." Dave came back with word that the police would send some one at once. "They asked me whom the stuff was addressed to," Dave continued, "and I had to admit that I didn't know."
This may or may not be a sound principle of persuasion; as we are not here considering the drama as an art of persuasion, we have not to decide between this and the opposite, or Shawesque, principle of shocking and startling an audience by the utmost violence of paradox. There is something to be said for both methods for conversion by pill-and-jelly and for conversion by nitroglycerine.
In the centre column, alongside the announcement of the annihilation of three entire regiments of Silesians by the explosion of nitroglycerine concealed in dummy gun carriages, was the following: CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE FALLS Washington was visited by a succession of earthquake shocks early this afternoon, which, in varying force, were felt throughout the United States and Europe.
"Oh, but couldn't I use that five hundred, if only my training had fitted me for such deeds as running down a nitroglycerine peddler!" "It isn't anything to joke about," shuddered one of the girls. "It's awful! Would four pounds of the dreadful stuff destroy the town of Gridley?"
The rock is dislodged by blasting, the holes being drilled with compressed air, water force or electricity, and, as has been said, powerful explosives are used, nitroglycerine or some nitro-compound being the most common. Many charges can be electrically fired at the same time. If the tunnel is to be long, shafts are sunk at intervals in order to attack the work at several places at once.
In despair, the directors finally hit upon the scheme of subscribing one thousand dollars to the funds of the Athletics Committee. The catching of the bank robbers solved the nitroglycerine mystery. One of the safe-blowing quartette was recognized by the police as having been in Gridley at the time when that nitroglycerine package was received at the express office.
They might as well leave him alone. What harm has he done them? As long as they can see people flying into atoms with the help of a little nitroglycerine they are quite happy. Vengeance, vengeance! That is their eternal cry. Of course in Russia it's a different thing. One must either be an autocrat and slave-driver or a Nihilist out there, but here they are mad, all of them!
This done to his satisfaction, he stepped back and surveyed his work. "All right, I guess," he said. "I never tackled anything like this before, but I think I know how it's done." The next article he produced from the grip was a small vial. One look told McKenzie what it was. It contained nitroglycerine. This Hal poured under the edge of the safe. Then he attached a fuse and lighted it.
However, he makes out that you obtain the wonderful result by fixing essential oils in a special magazine and that you managed to project a solid shot to the prodigious distance of of " he referred to the newspaper "fifteen miles by means of of I do not understand these jaw-breaking scientific terms. Is it not nitroglycerine?" "I do not use them myself," remarked Clemenceau, dryly.
