Professor Abel's Explosive.

y new explosive, manufactured by
the government, has lately drawn
much attention. II is called "eordite, y
and is an invention of Professor Abel.
IL is in the main similar product To
the smokeless powder Of other nations.
The name ''cerdite'' originates in the
process of manufactures, during which
the gun cotton. after being combined
with sort of explosive gelatine, Is
pressed through plate with fine open
ings, thus receiving the shape OF fine
threads. The object of this process Is
that %, proper selection of the thick
ness OF the threads, il oilers great lati-
tude in the control of the swiftness of
the explosion, which is, in other pow
ders, attained by the finer and coarser
grain of the particles. One can, there
fore, according TO requirements, manu-
facture quickly comSustible expio-
sive for mining purposes, or slowly
burning, driving power for projectiles.
Cordite can be plated int cords,
which naturally increases its available
ity for practical Use. The judicial side
of the cordite manufacture offers spec
ial interest, as the well-known firm of
Alfred Nobel-the inventor of dyna-
mite-had instituted lawsuit against
the English government for infringe
ment on its patent rights. But, al
though the modern manufacture of eX-
plosives rests mainly on Mr.. Nobefs
efforts, the firm lost its suit because
the fundamental patents had expired.
