Nitro-Glyeerine-Naat 1. it /,

N,tro-Glyeerine--yyhat is ttt
The Panams correspondent of the
New York Times gives the following
account Of this fluid. -
The fluid known by the name Oh
nitro-glycerine was first made about
fifteen years since, by M. PeIouze, Of
Paris, who thought it too dangerous
for practicable use. A short time
since, Nh. Alfred Mabel, Swedish
chemist and engineer, thought he had
so improved upon Nj. Pelouze's re-
ceipt- as TO avoid this difficulty, and
established house for its manufac-
ture, ut the head of which he placed
q younger brother. Mr.. Mabel
claimed that the compound was inso-
luble in water, that it cannot be ig-
nited by simple contact with fire,
-s'thus removing all risk of accidental
explosion in store s'The discharge
can only be effected under certain
circumstances, which are Indicated i'm
the directions for using the article.
On applying q Lucifer match to the
oil, the latter decomposes without
explosion, and on removing the
match, the fire Immediately extin-
guishes. It can bear, without dan
ger, 212 degrees of heat, (Fahren-
heit, but cxplodes at about 36O de-
grees. But Notwithstanding the
claim which Mr.. Mabel made, that
the Oil could be manufactured and
used with so much safety, one day in
January, 1865, Mr.. Nabel's factory.
together with his brother and work
men, We're blown into such little par
tlcles that no trace of building or
workmen were ever after discovered.
Of course the cause of the explosion,
rs was that of the Wyoming Hotel,
and now of the European, is wrapped
in mystery.
This Oil is described as being in
color of 4 light ycllow-a compound
of glycerine (the sweet principle of
oilsl and nitric acid, its chemical
formula giving eighteen parts of oxy-
gen; and Mr.. Natel claims that as by
combustion the carbon takes twelve
atoms Of oxygen and the hydrogen
i've, its complete combustion leaves
surplus O only. He states that each
100 parts of exploded blasting oil
leaves residue of: Carbonic acid,
5S; water, 20; oxygen, 81; nitrogen,
1871, 900; and that as the specific
weight of the oil is 16, one volume
produces 1928 volumes of gas; that
IS to say, steam 554; carbonic acid,
1863; oxygen, 80; and nitrogen, 236.
weight for weight the blasting oils
bears very favorable comparison with
gunpowder, which is calculated ordi-
narily to produce about $50 volumes
OF cold gas only, the nitro-glycerine
would consequently appear to be,
other things being equal, about five
times MS effective as glnpowder. :"
Mr.. Mabel claims more than this, for
he says it is difficult to determine the
degree Of heat produced by an ex-
ploding substance, and that, accord
ing to theory, the blasting oil, on
account of its complete combustion,
ought to develop more intense heat
than gnnpowder, and thus the heat
developed by the explosion of nitro
glycerine is twice that generated by
gunpowtler, and from this calculates
that nitro -glycerine, compared with
gun-powder, possesses about thirteen
times its power, when volumes are
considered, and eight times its power
for equal weight
