THE NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Il Il Called Schnebelite and was In
vented by a Priest

vented by a Priest
A man Of peace has invented another
terrible instrument of war. He is NJ.
rAbbe Schnebelin. and his invention, a
powerful explosive, has been named
after him, schnebelite.
Like cordite, in which military au-
thorities have been so much interested,
schnebelite is a smokeless powder. A
trial of the new explosive was recently
made. In the first place the able made
some Of his powder in the presence Of
the crowd, for the simplicity of its
manufacture and the rapidity with
which il can be made without any es-
pecial apparatus are the first advant-
ages which are claimed for the new
powder. Taking some Of the powder
in its manufactured state the able
placed it on an anvil. He commenced
by hitting the grains with a hammer,
but the conclusion did nothing but
grind the powder fine. Friction, too
was proved to have no effect upon the
substance, and then the able applied a
lighted match to a small heap of it.
Not even a blade of grass was blown
up. The powder burned with bright
light, but without the least defagra-
ton. Nothing short of Theoretically
sealed quantity is susceptible to con-
cussion. The cartridges were made up
with a government bullet; the range
was 100 yards, and the bullet went
through an S-inch plate of Bessemer
steel and through four inches Of the
wood against which the plate rested.
This, too, was with the sporting pow
der, which is not nearly so strong as
the concentrated or warfare powder.
