ROBURITE! .:. This is a newly-invented explosive, lately introduced and largely used in England, Germany, Spain, Tnrkey, Australia and New South Wales. ROBURITE is especially valuable *x on account of the perfect safety with which it maybe handled, transported, and stored. Neither friction, percussion, nor heat will cause it to explode, and it is only when primed hy a specially strong detonator that it can be exploded. It has the following special properties and advantages over all other explosives:— Roburlte cannot be made to explode by coucussion, by pressure, friction, nor by fire, lightning, or electricity. Roburlte can be made to explode only by the in" sertion of a strong detonating cap into the cartridge, and is therefore perfectly safe and free from danger under all conditions of transit, storage, and handling. Roburlte contains no nltro-giyccrine, and is therefore not subject to the excessive danger f«om change of temperature and thawing. Roburlte does not freeze. Roburlte may be hammered between two i-teelo plates, and a red hot Iron may be inserted into it, free of danger. Roburlte has the further advantage of giving on' no noxious fumes, and not pulverizing' the material blasted, and miners may re-enter the galleries Immediately after a shot is fired. Roburlte is practically flameless, and can be safely used in fiery mines, neither fine dust nor gases being exploded by it. Roburlte is of less specific gravity than dynamite, in the ratio of 2 to 3, but weight for weight it is found to be 25 per cent, more powerful and 100 times more safe. Roburlte compares with gunpowder as 4 to I, weight for weight, i.e., 4 oz. of Roburite will do the work of 1-lb. of blasting gunpowder. PCases received per steamer Havana, and 5 M.
