CHEMICAL DETONATING BALL.--The Public, it
seems, are not yet suilicivitly guarded against
the violent effects of the above preparation. The
other day, as a Gentleman was in the act of giv-
ing one to a.friend, the ball exploded, took cif
the end of a fore-finger --and nail, and lacerated
his hand and face in a most dreadful mAnner; the
explosion nearly caused suffocation to both
parties, •and in addition broke a mirror, several
panes of glass ; and what more strongly evinces
the• violence of- the component parts,, literally
broke a thick mahogany dining-table. Itoviteu
tially they escaped %vitt] their lives.
