Giant Powder for Fishing,


Our correspondent, who asked regarding the
use of giant powder a couple of weeks since,
seemed to fear that it would be so frequently
employed as to deprive the waters of our beau
tiful mountain lakes and rivers of fish. There
is little danger. Those who have witnessed its
explosive force describe its power as terrific. II
nitro glycerine. The explosion, therefore, is no
more or less than explosion of nitro glyc-rine.
The pressure of numberless tons of water has no
more effect upon its power, apparently, than the
atmosphere has upon ordinary gunpowder.
thousand little flashes of light shoot out in
every direction from the charge with the
Swiitness of electricity, the whole bosom OF the
lake trembles with the shock, and a hundred
tons of water rises up bodily from the surface.
The report is weird, shuddering, indescribable
species of thunder. that rings ia ones ears for
weeks. Now, from the very nature of the sub
stance, il il extremely dangerous, even in the
hands of the most careful. Theoretically, IL
can not be exploded except by the peculiar cap
that is prepared expressly for the purpose, but,
in spite of the theory, it sometimes explodes
without cap. The nitro glycerine sometimes
OOZes from the earth with which it Is mixed AMI
collects in or about the paper that is wrapper
about the charge of giant powder. Under thu sc
circumstances il is no safer than genuine nitro
glycerue The explosions are so powerful as to
exceed all belief. Explode piece of the pow
der no larger than pea upon an inch board,
and the board will be shattered into fragments.
II is SO little understood, even by scientific men
that no rules can he laid down for its use.
When il is accidentally discharged, scientists
are rendered none the wiser, because no one
is left alive 10 explain the manner in which 1t
exploded. Very few men are competent to use
il with even a moderate degree of safety, and
every man who experiments with it feels that he
Is RISING his life To be sure it kills fish. 1t is
an instantaneous, unmerciful way of slaughter
ing every fish, be il large or small, within a
radius of thirty feet But the very success
which attends the experiment makes n man
shudder with horror, and this. together with the
terror of an accidental explosion. and the fear
of the rigorous hand of the law, ii discovered,
will to great extent, deter men from following
this mode OF fishing.
