A German paper, the Swabian Mercury,
in alluding to the discovery of Professor
Schonbeirn, by chemical process, to
prepare cotton, that explodes with much
greater force than gunpowder, speaks OF
later experiments made at Basic with small
arms Of different calibre. These expert
menis are said to have afforded actual
proof, that prepared cotton of scarcely the
fourth part Of the weight of the usual
charge Of gunpowder, not only carries the
ball 10 a greater distance, but forces it
deeper into the object aimed at. The same
results are TO the saving Of material, were
arrived at in trials with pieces Of ordnance,
and on employing cotton powder in blow
ing up the walls of a solid piece Of mason
ry, the extent of $50 cubic feet, four oun
ces of the new article scattered the wall
into fragments, whereas three pounds of
gunpowder did not produce any visible eff
feet. A farther and very material advan.
tage is derived from the fact, that the ex
plosion of cotton powder takes place with.
out any resdum. No trace of any of the
guns being soiled by the explosion could be
detected, although some Of them has been
