Chemical experiments prove that hydro

tremendous violence AT very high pressure
- 200 pounds 10 the square inch IA
these experiments small glass tube was
employed, into the ends OF which two
platinum wires we're fused and after Ia.
Producing cubic oentimeter Of ncidulAted
water the tube was Dramatically sealed
then placed Ia largo glass vessel OF cold
water aud an electric current OF nix volts
passed through it.
The acidulated water was rapidly do
composed into hydrogen and oxygen gases,
the action continuing Ha energetioally nft-
er 10 minutes had elapsed / 3 and 20 min

elapsed, when a vivid fash, succeeded by
violent report terminated the expert
ment, SCATTERING the glass vessel aud scat
teirng frogmcnts In all directions, The
force Of the explosion may be understood
from the fact Of the sealed tube being but
an inch and half in length, and contain
ing only ono cubic oentlmeter OF water,
nevertheless portions Of tho glass were
hurled with sufficient force In the immo-
diate neighborhood Of the explosion to
