EXPLOSIVE FORCES.

Repeated attempts to derive a useful mo-
tor from explosive compounds were made
during the last century. No devices were
matured, not because of inseparable difficult
ties to be overcome, but principally ON ac-
count Of the increasing popularity OF steam.
1t was doubtful that any competing energy
could stand before that agent; but now
things are different Steam engines have
been greatly improved and extended, and the
arts have reached point where more port
able power has become greatly desirable. 1t
is only as the requirements Of advancing So
ciety present new exigencies, and such as
current forces cannot meet, that we begin to
look seriously for others.
Though few have been developed, explo-
sive forces are beyond question multitude
nous, and include every imaginable quality
and intensity. No systematic inquiry into
their various natures and numbers has been
undertaken--it is not yet time for that-nor
into the means Of drilling them to useful la
Dor. Many persons have supposed them un-
tameable; that their fitful violence incapac-
itated them for working steadily as other in
organic servants do--an error, certainly
There is no active energy, revealed or TO be
revealed, no matter how refractory in its hab.
its Or paroxysmal in its manifestations, but
will be subdued by man. 1t is his mission
to make them all subservients. Give him
time. Crumbling Cheops was not raised in
day, nor are the lasting edifces of civiliza-
tion and science TO be finished in century.
Some imagine their spires are already pene-
trating the clouds, while. in reality, it is
their foundation courses only that are laid.
The Portsmouth inquirer. [volume] (Portsmouth, O. [Ohio]) 1849-1855, 1851-02-17

AT periods, too remote to be sscertained
with precision, explosivemixtures were used.
OF these, gunpowder is best known. 9th
ers have passed away, while demands for it
have been swelling at fearful rate--fearful,
since it has long been dedicated to destructive
purposes, for which it is held of paramount
necessity. The scourge of our race, it might
have been a chief good; precious gift of
science, it has been prostituted to purpose
the most wicked that man can conceive, or
evil spirits suggest
So common and cheap as powder is, il is
difficult to realize the value Of device that
locks up the strength of giants in few
quiescent gains, and releases it al pleasure
a power that instantaneously dilates into
space two thousand times greater than II slept
In. Instead of projecting missiles Of death,
it might, if properly employed, extend and
refine every enjoyment OF life. Had atithe
of the treasure and thought expended during
the last three or four centuries on extending
the range and effect of firearms, been devo-
ted to the application Of powder as mover
Of machinery, society would probably have
been equally advanced as it is, even i steam
had moi been subdued. Strange as the asser-
ton may appear, gunpowder and its athni-
tives have in them elements calcnlated to
contribute as great good to man, as they
have heretofore engendered evil.

class Of explosives, seems more promising
than gunpowder. Neat, clean, Light, and

and while he was standing upon the platform, he
was thrown off, and fell partly under the wheel
of the succeeding car, and his right arm, "mar-
row, bones and all" was crus ned to Jelly, and
dropped useleSsly at his side This, however,
was fortunately his only injury. He was a
young man of determined nerve, and of the no.
blest spirit. He uttered no complant-not even
