TnE seventh lecture OF the season was de-
liyered In the High School room on Tuesday
of this week, by Prof Kedzie OF Lansing. The
subject, "Projectile Forces" was ably treated,
ana largely illustrated by experiment. Ex-
plosiye forces arc caused by the rapid conver-
SION OF SOLID or liquids TO gasses, the gasses
expanding and occupying much greater space
than the original solids or liquids. There are
two kinds os the force-shatterng forces and
proiectie forces. The distinction is due to
the difference IN the rapidity OF the conversion
into gas. When the combustion is extremely
rapid-the force generated is shattiring one.
o gun charged with such a substance bursts
without sending forward the ball. Ihe con-
version OF sunpowder into gas is much slower,
and generates force that Will expend itself In
throwing the ball-a projectlle force The
Prof. showed the relative rates OF combustion
in two substances, generating these two forces
by burning at the same time trains OF gun
powder and illuminate Of mercur". The pow
der was comparatively ''slow coach.
His lecture was finely illustrated by means
OF nitro-glycerine, gun-cotton. compounds OF
potassium, Sc., aud was considered by many
the best OF the course
