The above extracts demonstrate that Mr. Gale's luvention
affords an absolute protection against expkolon.
As an illustration of the risks noeparable from gunpowder Is
MI unprotected state, It may ba mentioned that during the last
twelve years upwards of fifteen serious explosions have been
recorded in the public journals, by which none thins WO peewee
have been killed, and runny thousaud persons wounded. and

destroyed. And the United Service Ilarazine" observes :

As a large portion of the gunpowder manufactured in Eng-
land is .hipped in an Irregular manner and without appealing In
the ship's manifest, it la impossible to estimate the t
amount of the manufacture. It t however, certain that if only
a fourth of the gunpowder made le protected by Mr. Galet pro-
cess, and a very small royalty paid upon it, a large revenue will
be derived from this source alone.
The danger and difficulty which at present attend the trans-
port sod sale of gunpowder ao enhance Its price as to leave room
for a lute margin of profit on the sale of the protected gun-
powder and some of the leallieg railway companies and ship-

In addition to the revenue gle
