Gun Cotton.-Inquiries having been made
OF US lately as to the use of gun cotton and
whether it could take the place of gunpowder,
We have obtained the following information on
the subject from the Smithsonian institution,
viz: Gun cotton cannot be made with anything
like the same uniformity in strength as gun
powder, and its explosive property diminishes
on being kept for any length of time 1t can
be used with safety in the discharge of FIRE
arms, but not with as much safety rs powder
Its cost, weight for weight, is little more thar
gunpowder, but owing to its greater strength,
force for force, it is cheaper. The governments
Of France, Prussia, Austria, Russia and Eng
land have made great number of expert
ments on the use Of gan cotton in fire arms,
and In all cases the reports of the engineers
engaged in making the experiments were
against Its adoption in the place of gunpowder
In blasting rocks It is used extensively. The
objections 10 its use are the ineauality Of its
action compared with ganpowder, the effect
on the gun is greater, its projsetle force varies
with the compression OF it in the gun, it at

nit suicide with 0. knife, which he had in some
mysterious manner procured and which he had
sharpened ON the brick walls of his solitary
cell. His. windpipe had been cut, and his
throat, from ear TO ear had been hacked with
desperate, but misdirected energy, which
leftin aeomplete mass of mangled flesh. & He
had also stabbed himself in the side, and at
tempted to butt his brains out against bis dun

were bound up. with lint and linen, but it was
with grent difficulty that he could be kept
alive; until the day of execution. 1t appears.
however he walked to the gallows with Arm
step. So soon as the drop fell, the wounds
in his neck were opened afresh, presenting a
horrible sight. The knot of the rope caught
him directly under the chin, throwing his
head back, and he lived for some time, strug-
Cling most desperately. The Wind pipe was
entirely severed-the blood flowed copiously
from his throat and mouth, staining his white
neckerchief and cap.and the wind rushed
through the bleeding opening with frightful,
most unearthiy loud report,s which caused
esery spectator N the yard to shudder and
turn away his face in horror. The agony Of
'ne s'tlerer must aus, have been intense. His legs
and arms, although firmly tied behind his
back, writhed about at least ten ), rba

hanging about fifteen minutes DR.. Sabostier
