Gas More Deadly
Than Dynamite
The most. dangerous, yet the most
widely uhcd commodity, without
thought of its danger. is gasoline.
Five gallons ot‘ it has. the explosive
force of more. than 400 pounds of
dyntmiito. '
This Harrie amount will evaporate
into 5,000 cubic foot of gas which. if
ignited, will, oxpnnd suddenly 4,000
time‘s this space.
Yet gasoline is practically harm-
less except in gasoous form. when
mixed with air.
That’s how its enormous power is
used in iutcrnnl combustion engines.
