THE BRITISH AGAIN VICTOR
IOUS.

Whether the fight of January 10Th.
as reported IN dispatches, be called the
battle OF Shebeeat or Metemneh. il an
pears to have practically settled the
question for which the Nile relief ex-
pedltlon was organized. One report
says the fight was short and decisive.
another that it continued nearly ali
day but probably all statements agree
that while the Arabs were brave to
desperation the cool, deliberate disci-
pine OF the English troops was too
much for them and that something
over thousand rebels were killed
General Stewart is wounded, several
British officers are killed and perhaps
hundred men-One Englishman to
ten Arabs-the killed keeping up about
the proportion of the relative numbers
engaged.
1t Is costly and deperate work. But
Ahartoum and Gordon had to be saved
or the entire SOudan handed back to
Arab barbarism and the slave trade.
The Nile expedition and its leader
have been severely handled bv MANY
critics, but the selection Of Colonel
Stewart to lead the advance army of
the expedition, and the scheme of
sending the troops well ollicered in de-
tachments about 1000 strong. though
looking desperate and hazardous. now
appears to have been a master stroke
Of warfare. Had Stewart and his
army perished, WOlsely had another
sucn army ready at Korti, and evident
ly intended to lead it himself. as he is
now leading it across the desert track
made famous by Stewards splendid
heroism. 1t is new blow against
paganism and polygamy.
The brave and wounded Stewart an
pears to have carried out Lord Wolse-
ley's orders to the letter. Finding
Wetemneh occupied by rebels and not
thinking it worth while to attack the
place, the British took up a strong no.
sltiOn south of Metemneh and for the
last week the advance army of the
Nile expedition has been in communi-
cation with Gordon at Khartoum.
Steamers are plying between the latter
place and the British advance at
Gubat. Gordon is practically saved.
inside of another week the second de-
tachment of the Nile army, this time
with Wolseley himself along. will be at
Gubat with Stewards advance. and
with the prestige Of the battles of the
l|th and 18th before them and fresh
endorsements pressing forward the
Mahdl may be considered as good as
smashed and Gordon saved. d.-PhilaeIel-

OF THE STUFF THAT STARTLEs.

Few people know what dynamite is,
though the word is in common use.
1t is Il giant gun powder; that is, an
explosive material, varying in strength
and safety of handling according to the
percentage Of itro-glycerine it con-
tains. NltrO-glycerine, whence it de-
rlves its strength, is composed of Ordi-
nary glycerine and nitric acid com
pounded together in certain propor-
tions and at certain temperatlre

in power by nitrogen and other
products of chemistry, is thus far the

mite is preferred. 1t is extensively
made and consumed in the United
States, under the various names of

powders, all of which contain anv-
where from thirty to eighty per cent. of
nitro-glycerine, the balance of the
compound being made up of rotton
stone, non explosive earth sawdust.
charcoal, plaster of Paris, black pow
der or some other substance that
takes up the glycerine and makes a
porous, spOngy mass.
Nitro-glycerine was discovered bv
SaIVerO, an Italian chemist. 1854. Dv-
Mantle is prepared by simply kneading
with the naked hands twenty-five per
cent. Of infusorial earth and seventy
live per cent of nitro-glycerine until
the mixture assumes putty condition

mixing, the infusorial earsh is calcined

Vlned with patent exploders.
Nltro-glycerine is made of nitric acid
one part and sulphuric acid two parts
to which is added ordinary glvcerinp
and the mixture is well washed with
pare water. The infusion is composed
OF small, microscopic silicious shells
which have lost their living creatures
Inc cellular parts receive the nitro
glycerine and hold it by capillary at

from it by means of furnace, and then.
