mite, which is so quick in its action
that tender green leaf can be com
pressed into the hardest steel before it
has time to hatten One of the exper-
i'm .nts OF the United States Torpedo
Works was to place some leaves be-
tween two heavy, fiat pieces of iron,
set them on firm foundation and see
wha' gun-cotton would do in forcing
the two pieces together. The reaction
was so great from just being exploded
in the open air that one Of the iron
pieces was driven down upon the 9TH

complete impression of the leaves be-
fore they could escape. 1t is also q
singular fact that the gun-cot on itsel
should sink deep into the iron when
it explodes, showing the points of the
letters stamped into the cartridges
This novel method of engraving by
