Chiseling Gun Cotton.

Gun cotton, said Professor Munroe,
IN beginaing his lecture on that explo-
sive, at the Lowell Institute, recently,
is pure cotton dipped in q mixture OF
pure nitric and sulphuric acids. In
seeking q method by which these in
gradients might be obtained absolute
ly pure and the cotton thoroughly
treated with the acids, many years
have been spent and serious accidents
have occurred.
According to the Boston Journal of
Commerce, the lecturer tracedithe ex-
periments with the explosive from it's
discovery, IN 1882, up to the present
time, and spoke OF several of the most
fatal explosions which attended the
experimental stage.
After experiments by Professor Hill,
one OF the United States torpedo sta
ton, gun cotton WAS adopted as an
explosive for use in the navy in 1884.
In preparing it for this service the gun
cotton Is, by successive DRESSINGS in
hydraulic presses, the last OF which
has a pressure OF $500 pounds to the
square inch, made into little blocks
measuring 2 1-2 inches each way. 1t
now contains from 10 to 16 per cent
OF water, but when issued to the SER
vice contains 35 per cent. Before be-
ing made up into blocks it is carefully
tested.
Professor Munro declared that gun
cotton, correctly prepared and han
died according to directions, was the
safest OF the explosives touse. Itwas
dangerous only when the materials
had not been thoroughly purified, or
| the union OF cotton and acid incom-
plete.
In proof OF what could be done with
it, a picture was thrown upon the
screen showing the workman cutting
it with chisel, jig saw, and lathe to fit
it into IL shell. Another illustration
was the extinguishing of a block that
was burning by bouring upon 1t. Two
thousand pounds of it had been burn
ed IN u bonfire without an explosion.
One volume OF the explosive gives
S29 OF the gas, and the pressure de-
veloped by combustion is eighty
one tons to the square inch,
and by detonation 1915 tons,
the latter being in contact, however.
The effect of the explosion OF one par
tlcle on another is so rapid that it
would take only one second for it to
pass through $4,000 feet OF the explo-
sive.
1t was shown by the stereopticon
that the letters U. S. N, with the date
OF manufacture, that are ON the bot
tom OF each block, are impressed upon
an iron plate upon which the gun cot
ton may b. exploded. 1t is a curious
fact that, if the marks on the block
are in relief, the reproduction on the
iron will be raised, and, if cut in, there
will be an lndentatlon on the plate.
Professor Monroe's theory is that
when the letters are cut into the ex-
plosive, the gases generated in the in
oentations are hurled from them as a
projectile from gun. II a leaf or a
delicate piece of lace be laid between
the gun cotton and the iron, it's inn
press will be left in all the perfection OF
outline of the original, though the ar
ticle itself is absolutely annihilated.
