BLASTING GELATIN.
One Of the Most Important Explosives. and

One Of the Most Important Explosives, and
How It Is Made.
By far the most important as we'll as
the latest form of dynamites or solidi-
fed nitroglycerin are those designated
not too happily as blasting gelatins. "
Many persons imagine, quite naturally,
that these consist of some form of gela-
tin, isinglass OF glue, converted by
chemical means into powerful exp]o-
sive. But blasting gelatin contains
no particle whatever of gelatin, prop
erly SO called, the term being applied to q
mixture Of nitroglycerin and nitrocel-
lulose 1t is prepared at Ardeer, in Ayr
shire, N. B., by heating nitroglycerin

mechanical stirrers.
Any rise OF temperature above As de-

of the hot for time. In the course Of
about an hour the nitrocotton is dis
solved in the nitrogly lycerin. the two
bodies uniting to form q more or less
stiff homogeneous jelly. It may indeed
be compared to the Photographic colo
dion, thickened by evaporation, the gun
cotton having been dissolved not in the
usual alcohol either mixture, but in nj
troglycerin. When composed Of 98 per
cent Of the latter, with 7 per cent cot
ton, we get most powerful explosive.
Mr.. g. Maeroberts, the manager at
Ardeer, observes upon this point:
"Of all the nitroglycerin explosives
blasting gelatin is the strongest. If the
energy Of dynamite be represented by
100, thatof blasting gelatin will be l50.
Nitrogelatin itself shows less energy
than blasting gelatin. Nineteenth

harmless to human beings. It is said
