Every year, when Congress meets, up comes
the eternal subject OF repairing rebuilding
aWplifying the Navy. Everybody feels that the
United states ought to have a armament not the
equal perhaps of Great Britan's but one that will
be sufficient for all the purposes of peace and leave
wholly naked to our enemies If war suddenly come
TO doors. The American Navy is but little more
than name, procession of hulks, resembling u
home. 1t Is the laughing stock of Europe, aud we
feel no hesitation In saying that 1t Will remain such
lust as long as this country is at peace with other
nations. Even Spain that worm out old hummer of a
state, has better navy than the United States
Italy certainly has one much more eilicient. In a
word almost any third and fourth rate power In Europe
possesses stronger service than this Republic,
with Its So 900 people and widely extended Interests
Lay the blame where we may, the great fact remains
that 1t Is not likely to be any different while have
no belIigerent bones to pick with neighbours II
Is characteristic OF this country to take thought
the morrow so far as risks are concerned. We exer-
else especial orethought against possible dangers.
We rush on careessy, In the path Of money making
and other domestic concerns giving little thought to
any system of defense against foreign enemies. This
feature Of Onr national life owe largely to our
insnar position. We have no foes that we need to
fear IN Onr immediate vicinity When the Rebellion
broke out our Navy was line OF wooden walls

A New ExniOsIye.

A new explosive has just been patented in
England by Or. G. W, siemens, The compound IS a
mixture Of satpetTe, chlOrato OF potash aud solid
hydro carbon, and is suitable both for mining pur-
poses and firearms, while, n gnled In the open air
the combustion takes place slowly and imperfectly
and therefore without danger The incorporation Of
tue Ingredients Is by preference effected as follows
The saltpetre, ChoTate OF potash and hydrO-CarOOn
TOR which may be taken paranu aSphaltnm, pitch,
caOutch0uc, gutta percba etc. are mixed together
In pulyerulent form by passing, through sleeves or
otherwise, and the mixture Is then treated with
liquid volatile hydro carbon, which acts as sol
vent to the solid hydro'carbon. plastic mass Is
thus produced, which Is then formed into cakes OF
sheets by passing through rollers or otherwise and Is
rendered hnldby eYaporatng tho liquid solvent used,
the sheets or cakes produced being then converted
into grains pieces Of any desired Size, la the
manner as ordinary gunpOwdor. The new compound,
which has about the same destiny as ordinary gun
powder, and Is very hard, possesses with equal vol
umes more than double The explosive force Of the
latter. The Intensity OF explosion be regulated
at wilhy varying tie proportions Of tho ingredients
and the sle of tho gTanules. These proportions
should generally speaking, be such that for each vol
ume Of the REFRIGERATION, when converted into gas
eous state, there shall be present Ia the other nEIe
dlonis three volumes OF oxygen.
