Perfectly Safe Except When Set Off By Dynamite
In a rural area east of Cleveland a test of the explosive called hathamite, invented by Professor H. M. Hathaway of Webber Pennsylvania, showed safety features by striking it on an anvil, exposing it to fire, placing it in a box and firing through it. The device explodes only when a dynamite percussion cap is used. Part of the material was frozen into an ice cake and detonated, and a one pound Army shell was exploded in a receptacle, shattering into fragments.
