dynamitic

The short note by R . R . Hunt read at the last meeting , relative to destroying snags by dynamitic charges , has led me to bring this subject again before the members, as I believe an alteration in the manner of firing the charges, which was carried out by the fuse, may lead to more comprehensive working in this matter, with more certainty, safety, and economy.

The public that had reacted strongly to his “Editor's Study" could not be shaken by the polite statement of his social radicalism. His important essays on Liberty, Equality and Fraternity – which Howells thought were “terribly dynamitic" and which Walter H. Page felt hesitant to publish – finally went off "like wet firecrackers."
