I Hood’s Sarsaparilla A LIVING ITXESS. FERRYS _ SEEDS _ I To Prevent Freezing. Some interesting things have come to light in the history of the tunnel boring for tlie Jungfrau railway in Switzerland. Blasting gelatine was used in this work, which freezes at i> temperature of about 40 degrees Fahr enheit. It is an exceedingly danger ous substance to handle, being unlike dynamite in this respect, amt so the contractors engaged in this woik are keeping their explosives in a sort of safe heated by electricity, so that the danger of the gelatine freezing is en tirely obviated. In this connection is u proposition to extend this idea to the thawing out of dynamite by some elec trical application, as dynamite is com monly frozen for safe handling.
