THE GENESIS OF DYNAMITE.

Though purist might regard the term as
contradictory, there is yet a very consistent
and amiable idea in what are called the thu.
manities of war" They have even come to
arrange themselves into q recognized code,
OF which Grotius, Puffsndorf and vattel are
the leading interpreters. The bulk OF them
are fosnded on that common and humane
instinct which we designate fair play" and
which inspires brave man not to attack q
defepceless enemy, and not to strike him
with weapons to which be can oppose
no manly or corresponding resist
ance. Hence the use OF explosives,
even in legitimate warfare. was only
brought about with tedious reluctance;
and gunpowder which is their primitive
aud best known type, was long vigorously
denounced as q continuance of the arch-fiend.
Even as late as the time of Shakespeare, this
feeling finds voice, and we have the dude
OF that period complaining to the gallant
Hotspur that

This villsinous saitpetre should be digg'd
Out of the bowels OF the harmless earth,
Which many a good tall fellow had destroyed
SO cowardly; and, but for these vile guns,
he would himself have been a soldier"
But, destructive as gunpowder has shown
itself. II is the mere baby of explosives as
compared to these which science has re-
vealed to Us in our own time. With the
rapid progress OF chemistry the elements
have been giving up their secrets. and CON-
binations have been discovered which by
