ROCK FELL IN DYNAMITE BOX

That dynamite is not so easily exploded as some people are wont to think was demonstrated last week at ‘ the new South street sewer. A box containing about twenty-five sticks of dynamite was setting on the engine when a blast was made. Many large pieces of rock were thrown high in the air by the charge and one of them came down on top of the engine cab, smashed right through the same and fell squarely into the 'box of dynamite. Other than breaking open a few of tbe sticks there was no damage. -
