The Earliest Use OF Guppowder.

In paper recently read before the
Shanghai branch of the Royal Asiatic
Society, DR.. Mcgowan affirms the claims
Of the ChihEae to be the originators Of
gunpowder and firearms. This claim was
examined ih an elaborate paper some
years ago by the late Mr. Mayors, and
decided by him in the negative. DIR.
MRcgowan admits that gunpowder, as
now used, is European discovery.
Anterior to its granulation by Schwartz
it was crude compound, of little use in
propelling missiles. This, rays the writer,
IL The article first used In China. The
incendiary materials stated by q Greek
historian to have been employed by the
Hindus against Alexander's army ara
stated TO have been merely the napthas
or petroleum mixture OF the ancient
Boreans, and in early times used by the
Chinese. The "stinkpot," 80 much used
by Chinese pirates, 10, it appears, Cam.
bodian invention. DIR. Mcgowan states
also that as early as the twelfth or thir-
teenth century the Chinese attempted
sobmarine warfare, contriving rude tor.
pgdoes for that purpose. In the year
1000 an inventor exhibited to the then
Emperor of China, "a fire gun and fire
bomb" He says that while the Chinese
discovered the explosive nature of inter,
sulphur and charcoal in combination,
they were leggards in its application,
from inability to perfect its manufacture
co, in the use of firearms, failing to pros.
ecute experiment, they are found behind
in scientific gunnery.
