Since the days of Nobel's invention of dynamite, his mixture, or a close approximation to it, has been used in practically all industrial work requiring the use of a high explosive-until very recent years.
For some ten or fifteen years in Europe, and two or three years in this country, there have been coming into use some explosive compounds of the nitro-substitution class, so-called, which are claimed to have advantages over the dynamites, from the standpoints of nonfreezability, safety in handling, and certain other points, varying with the particular compound.
