Submarine and Nubtcrranean E,rploSionS.--
Experiments have been tried at the English Gut
Ia Percha Works to prove that an electric current,
sufficient to explode eunpowder at long dis
lance, may be conveyed under wafer. Electric
ity was passed through coils of wires forty miles
III length, covered with gutta percha sunk in wat
er, and cases Of powder were exploded at the
other end Of the wire. Ii is strongly recon-
mcndod to explode fire damp by this method
prior to the descent OF miners into foul mines.
