odd Fact About Gun Cotton.

OOO T 6CC AOOuC Cun N0CCOus
 When gun cotton or other high explosives are freely exposed upon an iron anvil and detonated, the explosive leaves . deep and permanent impression upon the surface of the metal with which it was in contact. The impression produced -by the exploding mass is an almost exact copy of that face of the explosive which was in contact with the metal. This is best observed with gun cot ton, for, from the nature of the material, it can be shaped according to fancy, and such figures and designs as one wishes can be stamped upon its surface. Thus if a disk ot gun cotton, on tho face of which the letters ''U. s. N." and the date s1884" are indented, be detonated, 1t will be found that the letters and figures willy be reproduced in the iron and, most singular of all the phenomena, they will be indented in the iron just as they were in tho gun cotton.
