NITKO-GLYCERINE AS AN EXrLOsIVE-
In answer to 4 Kansas CORES ponIent vi no
asks about the use Of nitro-m -mlvcerinc in
splitting logs and for similar purposes. we
would say that it is entirely too dangerous
to be thus used. The objection to gun
powder, that cracks in the log wouldaliow
the escape of the confined air on which
gunpowder explosion depends. is offset by
the greater danger that on exploding. pa
of the nitro glycerinc may be thrown into
crcviccs and remain, to be suddenly cX-
plodcl at some other time. Nitro mlvccr-
inc cXpodes by conclusion and no; by
fire. Tamping it down, us our CORES
pondent proposes, and rs is done with gun
powder, would inevitably cause an eNplo-
sion, splitting the LOG indeed but DESTROY
ing everything in the vicinity. \ spark of
fire which would explode Il charge Of cum
powder would be harmless with nitro
glyccrinc, and no fuse excepting Il detona-
ting one could have any effect Ga the
other hand. nitro glycerine will produce a
violent explosion III the open air which
gunpowder never does Its principal use
is in exploding substances under water.

Gus way, the destruction of the stomach.
Not long AGO scientific gentlemen in Lon
don analyzcd samples of tea. Of the
twenty teas analyzed only one was found
to be genuine. and that was the Foochow
caper: the other nineteen samples were
adulterated with plunba@o. or black lead.
tea dust. iron filings. sand, and fragments
of quartz in variable quantities. Now
since tea contains naturally 4 large guam
titv of tannn, we have brought together
in the adulteration some of the chief con-
stituents which enter into the composition
of ink, and by appropriate treatment 4
bottle of ink was made from one of the
samples of tea in question. What has
been accomplished in the laboratory it is
not impossible may arise in the human
stomach, into which largely aduterated

slowly dissolved by the acid of the tea
forms tannate of iron, and the color of the
infusion made with such tea becomes
larkened, so greatly preferred by many
people that the Chinese have been led to
make the adultcration. 1t is said by
physicians that the death of one OF the
leading tea dealers in New York was
caused by continually tasting tea in show
inc it to customers. And, it may be,

in tea to bear part of the blame. OF course
people will not leave off drinking tea be-
cause it turns their stomachs into tan
yards and ink factories any more than they
will discard whiskey because it turns them
into brutcs or tobacco, because it destroys
their nerves
