A New Explosive.

The London Daily M,ns gives the fol-
lowing interesting account Of some e.
periments recently made at Fsversham
with some gunpowder Manufactured
from gun cotton:
The company went into the marshes
and the experiments began. Cartridges
wero held In the hand lit with fuses, and
burned with q steady blaze, whilc, when
ignited by the detonators. thoy exploded
with q loud report. Hitherto the COM
pany had not found any detonators
strong enough TO explode their powder
with the exception OF those specially
manufactured Tor them, but at the OK.
psrimonts some new dynamite deton.
ators proved powerful enough for the
purpose. At any ratio the powder evil
IDENTIFY needed q powerful dstonator. for
ton pounds were placed on tho anvil,
and an iron pile driver weighing hai a
ton was allowed to fall fftoon feet upon
Il without causing an explosion. This
proved c~onclusively that II could be car
ried In safety In railway trucks, and that
q collision would hayo no effect upon II.
Two barrels, each containing forty
pounds OF powder were now placed In o
pile OF faggots. Upon this being fred the
powder burned with o steady but in
tense flame, aud without any tendency
TO explosion.
The next experiments wero for the
purpose OF illustrating the applicability
Of tho powder to mining work. iron
breaking, etc. A charge Of two ounces
OF powder wa placed in q hole drilled
In q rough block Of Kentish ragsto-o,
four feet by two feet wido and twenty
inches deep. The stone was split into
Ave pieces by tho explosion. A solid
block OF steel Of about half n ION in
weight. was bored to the depth OF six
inches. and q siI.ounco cartridge was In
serted in tho hole. II would seem al
impossibility for tho small quantity OF
powder TO split q mass OF steel, but upon
the explosion taking place II was found
that II was split In two places. An ex-
pertinent tried upon u cylinder OF cast
iron OF the best qu~ality-of'a diameter
OF two feet and q depth OF eighteen
inches-was to q certain extent n failure,
for tho six ouncc OF powder, used in q
hole eight inches deep, drove a conical
