IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS
WITH SCHOENBEIN'S GUN COTTON.

On Wednesday last, a series of experiments, to test
the efficiency of gun c,ltton in blasting, as compared
with the known powers gunpowder, took place in the
Standedge. Tunnel, on the Huddersfield and Manchester
Railway. As the occasion was one of peculiar interest
to the scientific world, sunny gentlemen connected with
railway and other extensive works availed themselves of
the opportunity of being present, amongst whom we
observed Wrn. Leigh Brown, Esq., of Meltham Hall
and Thomas Varley, Esq., of Huddersfield, acting di
rectors of the company ; Chas. Brook, Esq., of Melt
ham Mills ; J. A. Barron, Esq., of Stainmoor, Middle
sex, the legal representative in this country of Chevalier
Schoenbein ; P. Brames Hall, Esq., of the Deafen'
Gunpowder Works,
one of the patentees of the Gun
Cotton ; H. F. Mackworth, Esq., resident engineer ;
Morland Jee, Esq., and R. W. Wal, assistant engineers;
W. A. Pardon, Esq., principal engineer, under Mr.
Brunell, on the Dublin and Wicklow Railway ; Thorna,
Nicholson, Esq., contractor of the tunnel ; Mr. Clark,
of Liverpool, and many other gentlemen, who take a
lively interest in scientific pursuits.
The place selected for the experiments is in the midst
of the great Yorkshire chain of hills between Hudders-
field and Manchester, where a tunnel is now construct-
ing through huge beds and masses of millstone grit, and
which, when completed, will be the longest in existence.
The rocks, which are situated at a depth of 155 yards
below the surface of the mountain, consist entirely of
close grained quartz. of which some idea may be formed
by the fact that in 110 yards of the tunnel now completed,
no fissure or joint is perceptible in the whole length. At
the same time, therefore, that it afforded the surest test
to the power of the gun-cotton, a more distinct compa-
rative test could not be instituted between its powers and
that of gunpowder. A rough estimate having been
made with firearms of the relative strength of those ex-
plosive compounds, a charge of gun-cotton having the
same effect on a wooden target as six times its weight in
gunpowder. Holes were drilled 2 inches, 11 inches,
and 11 inches diameter in the millstone grit, and the
charges of gun-cotton varied from I.6th to 1-3 d of the
weight of powder ordinarily made use of in blasting.
Cartridges, containing the gun-cotton, were dropped into
holes, with the patent fuse attached, and the quantities
varied from 10 ounces in the larger, to 6 ounces in the
smaller tubes: the quantity cf gunpowder employed for
similar blasts varying from 1 to 3 pounds.
The shots prepared in the tunnel were twelve in
number, 10 being charged with gun-cotton, and Nos.
4 and 11 with gunpowder. The shots numbered 2 and
7 in the south hemlines, and 12 in the north heading,
were declared by Mr. Nicholson, the contractors of the
works, previous to their being fired, to be those on
which the test of the strength of the gun-cotton com-
pared with that of gunpowder would be most certain,
both as to charge aid position. No. 2 was charged
with 10 oz. of gun-cotton, and did wonderful execution,
exceeding in everything the expectations of both the en-
gineers and miners. No. 7 was charged with 14- ounces
of gun-cotton,and did the same work as six ounces of gun-
powder would have done. The crowning experiments
were Nos. 11 and 12 in the north heading. No, 12 was
charged with 16 ounces of gun-cotton against 3 pounds
4 ounces of gunpowder in No. 11. The shots exceeded
anything the engineers or miners had before tested.
The gun-cotton exploded first, and threw against the
side of the heading, and broke into nine pieces, 220
cubic feet of rock, or about fifteen tons weight. This
shot with its connexion with No 11 was supposed to
have assisted it materially. No. 11 removed to the dis-
tance of about one yard 224 cubic feet of rock, or about
16} tons weight, but was broken only into six pieces.
The following properties were established in these
experiments. Ist. That the gun cotton may be consi-
dered three or four times the strength of gunpowder.
2nd. That it is entirely free from smoke—a qualification
of great importance in tunnelling operations ; as the
miners can recommence work immediately after the
shots have exploded, which is not the case with gun-
powder. In works in Cornwall, where blasting opera-
tions have hitherto been carried on, on a large scale
with gunpowder, eight hundred men have been obliged
to leave their work for an hour every time the shots
have been fired. This, with gun cotton, is entirely ob
viated. 3d. That no risk is incurred in stemming the
holes. 4th. That in keeping the cotton on the works,
and its being handled by the men, there is not so much
risk from explosion or loss from waste as with gun-
powder. sth. That it ignites with more certainty than
gunpowder. 6th. From the decreased size of the charge,
the depth of the drill hole may be diminished, and the
power more concentrated.
Its other advantages are—that it may be kept under
water instead of in a magaeine. Schoenbein has kept it
under water for six weeks without damaging its
strength. It never misses fire or fouls the gungland is
more instantaneous in its discharges. It possesses all the
qualities of the best gunpowder, and there is no danger
of its exploding from frequent firing. It explodes at
350 degrees.
The, advantages just recited apply themselves to all the
conditions under which explosive mixtures can be em-
ployed, so that thsro is no doubt that when the powers
of the gun cotton become generally known, that a com-
plete revolution will be effected in the use of materials
holding such a prominent position in the arts of peace
and war. We will just add in fine, a curious fact, pro-
bably unknown to our readers, that the so-called gun
cotton is no longer, strictly speaking, cotton, having
undergone a chemical change, and become, according to
the experiments of Berzelue, the first chemist of the
age, a nitrite of lignine. There is in fact as much dif-
ference as between lime and gypsum.
In the evening about twenty gentlemen sat down to a
sumptuous repast, prepared by Mr. Joshua Hall, of the
New Inn, at Marsden ; Wm. Leigh Brook, Esq.,
occupied
the head of the table, supported on the right by J. A.
Barron, Esq. and on the left by P. Brames Hall, Esq.,
Herbert F. 'Mackworth, Esq., occupied the vice-chair.
The health of Mr Barron was drunk with honours. In
returning thanks he stated that Chevalier Schoenbein
wished the gun-cotton to hare a fair trial, so that its
properties might be fairly tested. Messrs. Hall's, of
Dartford, had not hesitated to make the case their own,_ts
when they saw that its powers were gigannien.stiits
destructive qualities had been urged as a plea

warfare. They looked to its use in civil
to prove in

Mr. HALL proposed the health of W. L. Brook, Esq.,
who in reply stated that he was much gratified by having
witnessed the events of the day, which proved their
young and talented engineer, Mr. Mackworth, to have
a strong desire to test the real efficiency of gun cotton
in blasting. He felt pleasure when he saw the works on
their line Jf railway progressing so favourably ; he
thought no railway would supersede it. The country
through which it passed presented the most romantic and
picturesque scenery in England. They had many beau-
tiful viaducts on the line, and would have one of the
longest tunnels hitherto constructed. He begged to
propose the healths of two gentlemen connected
with the undertaking, who, had they been pre-
sent in their little company, he felt sure would
take a lively interest in their proceedings ; he al-
luded to W. Aldan, jun., Esq., M.P., the chair-
man, and J. Brook, Esq., of Greenhead, the Vice-
chairman, of the board of directors, gentlemen who ever
felt alive to the interests of the undertaking, and whom
he believed would work well to the end.
The healths of the gentlemen connected with " the
Press" were proposed by Mr. Nicholson: he had felt a
pleasure, he said, in watching the anxiety with which
, who had attended
they had overlooked the experiments made that day in
the lower regions, and doubted not but what they would
chronicle the scenes that they had witnessed, not only
with a good many flourishes, but with faithfulness.
