New Process of Making Dynamite is Valuable One George Van Vert, Superintendent at Burton Powder Works, Has MadeTmporant Discovery. Frozen Dynamite can be Exploded George Van Wert, of 63 North Bea ver street, superintendent of the Bur ton Powder works at Covert's station, has just perfected a process by which frozen dynamite can be exploded with out the dangerous method of thawing it. The process will not only revolution ize the manufacture of this explosive, but will be the means cf saving scores of lives that have been sacrificed each year to the deadly practice of of thaw ing that is necessary when the explo sive freezes. The invention, while it is yet kept a secret, is such that its disposal to the various dynamite companies should make Mr. Van Wert a rich man. Dynamite, like liquids, will freeze and before it can be used, it is neces sary to put it in an oven or on a stove and thaw it out. The toll collected by death from explosions in doing this has | been tremendous. Ever since dyna rgite has been manufactured, experts in this line, have been trying without success, to manufacture dynamite which might be exploded without dan ger. The attempts have all failed and the news of Mr. VanWert's success will be important. By bis process dynamite in any state can be exploded As noon as the idea is patented the s> crtt will be announ ced. Until a certain temperature is regis tered, dynamite is not dangeroi s, but once the heat overreaches a certain mark, it explodes. The danger of thawing the explosive has always been gre.it, but the deaths that have been caused have resulted mostly from in experienced foreigner* doing the wo k. Mr. VanWert has worked on the pro cess for many years and it was only last week that be succeeded in explod ing a mass of the frozen stuff. The teat was successfully made near the Burton plant.—New Castle Press. ClarenceQuinn, an Emporium boy, who is employed by the Burton Pow der Co., sends us the above article, through our friend, Mr. E. T. Welle. Geo. W. VanWert, being a former Em porium resident and has many friends here, we all are pleased to hear of any thing advancing his interests. "Onr Geo." is deserving of anything good that may come his way.
