til Alfred Nobel BEGAN it's manu-

peculiarly is that its explosion is

tire mass that it produces the most
violent shock. Gun-powder starts
a ball slowly at first, but nitro7gly-
ccrine acts like a baseball bat
against a bail il gives only one
sharp shock and Is over. The OBJ
jectionto its use is that it is a liquid
which renders it troublesome to
handle, and in usingit for blasting
it is liable to be wasted by leaking
into c~reyices, besides being spilled.
The great desidcratum was to con
vert it into a solid for convenience
and safety IN handling. Nobel,
Therefore, conceived the idea Of
solidifying in by mixing ii with
some absorbent, and in casting
about for the best, it occurred to
him that what vas called intusorial
silica would be the most effective
agent.
This is a clavey substance com
posed Of skeletons ofminUte plants
that live in water, and alter death
SETTLE to the bottom in layers.
They are microscopic grains, but
when examined look like hollow
glass boxes. In fact they are hol-
low, and by virtue Of being SO
they absorb a great dead more Of
the nltro-glyccrine than any other
substance. One pound OF the IN
tusorial silica will absorb three
pounds of nitro-glycerine, and
make a solid substance which can
be dried, and IS then dynamite or
giant powder. AT Drakesviile, N.
d., there is a bed OF this silica,
which Is used IN the powder manu-
factory there. 1t is the bottom Of
q dried up lake, and singularIy
enough, the eiectro-Silicon which is

OF the lntu3orlal silica brought
from the west.
Dynamite, therefore, is nitr0-glv-
ccrino, with lust enough Of the sill

people of Chase's Mills as Wander ts
gaudy balls are for the kings and queens
of the rail. All the women and girls
knit a pair of wristers. Each put one
wrister in box and put the other on.
You can buy wrister out of the box for
half a dollar, which entities you to the
mate to it and oysters for two if you
find it. AS the couples fell in line one

Sounding the Cymbals.

[Reported for the N. Y. Sun by Ah Wong. ]
Tom Lees restaurant, at 4 Mott
street, ON last evening, was all ablaze
in Oriental glory. Tom had seeming

thrown off all the gloom in the threat
ening thunderbOlts of the rest of the
heathens, and temporarily immersed
himself in the midst of festival and op-
cratic pleasures. We have heard of his
celestial joys nearly half q mile away,
by the sound of his great Gong (the
noise sounded as If the walters within
were on the strike by first smashing all
the dishes. The doorways for nearly
half block were people by native GU
| riosity seekers, talking and swearing
almost like Chicago Christians, and
pushing against each other for chance
to go nearer the scene Of the squashIng
Tor smashing) noise within.
When your reporter entered and
went up stairs to the very seat Of the
Jubilee, Queer sight presented itself.
The large room (restaurant) were de-
nuded of its usual ornaments of furni-
ture. The tables as well as the chairs
were turned into sitting machines.
Upon them sat the elite of Tom Lees
New York Generals and friends. At
VIC cIiu vi SAC AOotAS hCeSi SAC W lhuo",
was Chinese Brass band of about fif-
teen strong (although sounded as if
they were stronger), and before them
were the amateur performers of the
evening in their fantastic imitation
dresses, and a couple of operatic sing
ers whom Barnum would have aug
mented his greatest show on earth to
the heavens if he could only engage
them. They yelled, they beloved,
and the music doomed, squashed and
shrieked. The crowd in the room
roared for more tea, and our nOble-
hearted Tom sat there beaming with
face full of smile.
We understand that this Offhanded
Jubilee was more especially gotten up
for the benefit of Jun Cean Lung, the
legations agent from Washington,
but that august representative OF the
Middle Kingdom made his departure
for Washington before his friends were
acquainted with the fact, after having
transacted what business was necessa-
~ here. He is said to have taken
house somewhere near the neighbor-
hood of Eigth street, or Fourth avenue.
