When Explosives Explode.
A popular notion that explosives will
"go off" by any simple method is
wrong. Many of the most powerful
explosives imaginable may he kicked
-about, may be set on fire or uaay be
«hot out of a gun, and unless the prop
er agency for exploding them 1b em
ployed they will not "go off" and will
do no damage. The reason for this
may be explained by «n illustration
