NoN-ExPLosTvE GUNPowDKR. Handel
Cossham, one of the English railway touris;s
President 10 witness an experiment with JaIe',
evening.
The power Of rendering gunpowder exp-o.
siye or non-explosive at will has long ben
supposed to be impossible, but process Of OBJ.
tanning this desirable result has at last been
discoyered-so simple and efectnaI that the
only wonder is no one ever thought OF IL before
Mr.. Cossham has experimental with this
powder before scientific men in New York
where the exemplification excited much inter
est and astonishment He first takes a quaint.
ty of gunpowder, and after showing that
it is of the ordinary kind, mixes il with a
white powder in the proportion of two BY
weight Of the former to one Of the latter 4
red hot poker is then thrust among the mass
which takes fire and burns slowly, without the
faintest symptom of exploding. Matches ia.
ses, lighted paper, &c, Is applied 10 the pre-.
pared paper, but il cannot be made to explode
Mr.. Cossham then takes what remains un.
burned, and, sitting IL, in a few seconds re.
stores the gunpowder 10 its original state,
fact fully demonstrated by its exploding IN
stantly on a match being applied 10 il. MT
Cossham shows that the proper proportions
for rendering gunpowder more explosive are
about three parts by weight OF the protective
powder to one Of gunpowder II mixed in
equal proportions, there will be rapid combus-
ton, but no explosion. II four parts of pro-
tective powder are mixed with one Of gunpow-
der, it is about impossible TO make the mixture
Mr.. Cossham states that the white or protective
powder is merely ground glass. Other substan-
ces,such as fine sand, ground flints.&c had been
tried, but none answered so well as glass. The
cost Of the ground glass in England is about .
shiilirgs sterling per ton. The effect OF the
mixture is purely mechanical, not chemical
the glass insinuating itself between the grains
of gunpowder, and thus preventing more than
one grain being consumed at time
This curious discovery is mainly valuable IN
rendering gunpowder cheaper as it makes It's
storage in any quantity safe

BURIAL or UNKNOWN BopIEs.-We published
Tuesday respecting the Identification Of bodies,
which reveals very curious fact, and one that
Immediately suggests great want in this i'm
mense metropolis, which could be readily sup
piled and which ought to be attended 10 by the
authorities at once. II Is stated by tho Coro-
ner that three hundred bodies Of unknown
people upon whom inquests were held had
been buried last year In Potter's Field. Not
one of these, Il seems, was claimed or identi-
fed, and yet few, II any Of them, could have
been wholly friendless. In the case TO which
the Coroner specially refers, In Dover street, II
appears that there was q mark on the arm Of
the deceased (the letters L. J. L. by which he
might have been recognized had any notifica-
ton been made Of the fact; but, in the absence
Of any means to do so, except the accident Of
finding its way into the papers through the re-
porters which did not happen in this instance,
the body was buried, as hundreds have been
before, without identification.
Surely there Ia some branch of the city gov
ernment-the Board Of Supervisors, We pre-
sume-which could provide remedy for this
great evil The Coroner should be enabled to
advertise oil cases of unclaimed bodies, and
there should be some place allotted whore such
bodies could be exposed to public view for q
day Or two. The idea Is outrageous that three
hundred people should be huddled into name.

would probably never have been known out

SUMNER IN THE CrY-THn THHATREs.-
Every place Of amusement In the city b In
the full tide of success. The theatres are
crowded every night, no matter how hot It
may be, with audiences full as large and much
more enthusiastic than those that make the
winter nights 90 paying and 80 pleasant The
same summer tide Of success rises in all the
minstrel halls too, and fills every one dreadfully
full every night and all this in spite OF the
accepted tradition that the winter Ia the great
season of city amnsements, and that In tho
summon every one who can afford to be amused
takes to the hills and streams.
Are all the people in the city, then! Has no
one gone to Saratoga, Newport, Cape May or
the Catskillsi IF we only noted the size Of tho
audiences we might suppose 80; but 1t must be
noted at the same time that the audience ct
each theatre is entirely different from the one
usually seen at 1t In the winter. New York
has, In reality, two distinct and separate sea-
sons. The winter season is the city season

purpose" or who take our city en- route from
point to point
December draws out the Metropolitan aris-
tocracy-June and July draws in the aris-
tocracy of the country towns; the men and
women who come for dissipation and delight !;
the farmer on spree the merchant in search
Of dry goods and hardware-the whole cata-
logue Of country cousins. With those country
cousins the city is now more than usually
filed, and the theatres feel the benefit of it.
The style that pleases now is little stronger
than that which takes well In the winter.
Hence the vociferous applause at entertain
ments that are received very quietly in the
winter, and the ready response of sympathy
with the strong acting that the winter will not
stand at all.
