Gun CorroY.-Wo have before alluded to the
fact that renewed attention is being paid to the
manufacture of gun cotton for tho sano uses to
which gunpowlcr has been applied; and, 80 far as
mining purposes are concerned, thcro is no doubt
felt now that it can be used with great advantage
BY making gun cotton in threads, and winding it
round sticks of wood, it is found that tho sudden
ness of the explosion can bo controlled, 80 as to
render it much moro efficient than powder, while
tho absence of smoke becomes . very important
matter in q mine, where ventilation is so difficult
But, it seems that General Sabine, of tho British
army, is now carrying on experiments that will
probably lead to its adoption in the British army
both with the Wlitworth and Enfield rifles. BY u
proper modo Of construction of the cartridge,
the tendency of rapidity of combustion, which is
too great, is avoided, and tho cotton in tho rifle is
now found to command fully as great range as
the best powder.
At thousand yards excclent target practice
has been effected, although the cartridges, being
made by hand, are inferior to what they will be as
to uniformity when madc by machinery. Two
thousand shots have been tirod from the rifle
without doing it tho least harm. There is scarcely
any smoke, far loss rocoil Of the pieco, and no
touling. Tho sportsmen of England and Scotland
have, since the first Of August, very extensively
adopted the gun cotton cartridges for which there
has sprung up sudden and great demand
Eventually, it is supposed that the same princi-
pies will cause the substitution of the new car
fridge for iron ordnance, which Will very much do
away with the smoke, if not tho roar, of cannon
and change greatly the fate OF war. 1t is also
said that it can be manufactured moro choaply
and with far less danger than gunpowdor, and
also that it can be stored with much less danger.
