Giant Powder.

Chemistry itself is at loss to estimate
the power of nitrO-glycerine, and yet
this new agent of death Is 20 per cent
stronger. That our readers may be
enabled to form faint conception of the
danger of such a preparation, we viii
give brief description of the process by
which nitro-glyeerine, giant and Hercules
powder are supposed to be manufactured,
and of the extreme canton necessary IN
their manufacture. z--
In the manufacture of nitro-glycerine,
two tubes, each about a quarter of an
inch in diameter, and six inches ia
length, lead into Il single tube of double
their capacity, but of the same length.
Nitric acid is introduced into one ana
sulphuric acid into the other of these
small tubes. The large tube contains
glycerine. The two acids are then forced
quite gradually into the glycerine, and
the chemical combination thus forms an
explosive of incllculable power.
So powerful and dangerous is this
article that not an ounce of it Is allowed
in the mandatory while this tube, six
inches long and half an inch IN diameter,
is being filed, and this tube is kept con
stantly swathedin ice during the process.
To make giant powder, this nitro-glycer-
inc is.alloWed to drip upon a clay (simi
lar to nleerselIaunl imported from Ger
many. This clay Is the only perfect
absorbent of niJro-glycerine known. AS
Hercules powder is darker, it is believed
that that explosive is manufactured by
the same process charcoal, an imperfect
absorbent, being Hsed instead of said
quality Of clay II, in tie manufacture
of Ditro-glyeerine, a strong tube is kept
swathed IN ice, and 4 quantity Of the
liquid only SIX inches IN length and hall
an inch In diameter is allowed IN the
building at the same time, no wonder
that Gen. Won Bokkelen, with his prep
aration 20 Per cent. more powerful, re
marked that lie wonld have it handled
