BLASTING GELATIN.
One of the Most Important Explosives, and
How 1t Is Made.

One OF the Most Important Explosives, and
How 1t Is Made.
By far the most important as well 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 or glue, converted by
chemical means into a powerful explo-
sive. But blasting gelatin" contains
no particle whatever of gelatin, prop
erly so called, the term being applied to a
mixture of nitroglycerin and nitrocel-
lulose. 1t is prepared at Ardeer, in Ayr
shire, N. B., by heating nitroglycerin
in "jacketed" pans to between 40 de-
grees and water at go degrees Gao
degrees F.--a certain proportion of dry
gun cotton of the Soluble" kind. A
current of hot water at so degrees G.
140 degrees F.-oirculating between
the outer and inner pans keeps the con-
tents Of the latter at the required tenn
perature, and the mixing is effected by
mechanical stirrers.
Any rise of temperature above 40 de-
grees Glib degrees F.-is quickly
checked by turning into the outer
Jacket" astream Of cold water in place
of the hot for time. In the course Of
about an hour the nitrocotton is dis
solved in the nitroglycerin, the two
bodies uniting to form more or less
stiff homogeneous jelly. 1t may indeed
be compared to the Photographic COLO
dion, thickened by evaporation, the gun
cotton having been dissolved not in the
usual alcohol-ether mixture, but i'll nj
troglycerin. When composed of 93 per
cent of the latter, with per cent cot
ton, we get a most powerful explosive.
Mr.. G.. Macroberts, 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, that Of blasting gelatin will be $50.
Nitrogelatin itself shows less energy
than blasting gelatin. Nineteenth

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST l, 1894.

Now, while there is so much difficulty
between capital and labor, it is interest
ing to nole the views of ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN, in this connection, made 10 his mes.
sage to the I'd session of the thirty sew
enth Congress of the United States. See
appendix to the Congressional Globe,
87th Congress, I'd section, page 4 i:
Monarchy itself is sometimes limited at
as possible refuge from the power of the
people. In my present position could
scarcely be justified were l to omit rails
ing a warning voice against this approach
of returning despotism. 1t is not needed
or filling here that a general argument
should be made in favor OF popular in
situations, but there is one point with its
connections not so hackneyed as most
others TO which l ask brief attention.
1t is the effort to place capital on an equal
footing with, if not above, labor In the
structure of government. II is assumed
that labor is available only 10 connection
With capital, that nobody labors unless
somebody else owning capital somehow
by the use CT it induces him to labor.
Labor is prior TO and independ-
ent ofcapital. Capital is only the fruit
Of labor and could never have existed if
labor bad not first existed. Labor is the
superior of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. No men liv-
ing are more worthy TO be trusted than
those who toll up from poverty none
less inclioed to take or touch aught which
they have not honestly earned. Let them
beware of surrendering political power
which they already possess and which.
If surrendered, will surely be used 10 close
the door of advancement against such as
they, and to fix new disabilities on them
till all of liberty shall he lost.

A Perfect Leaf.

The teacher of large class in one Of
the New York schools once said to the
pupils who were leaving for the sum-
mer; 81 want each of you to search for
a perfect leaf and bring 1t to me when
school reopens Remember 1t must be
perfect-eyery tooth right, not to speak
Of mold or blight or discoloration, not
a vein broken" They searched faithful
ly, but none found perfect leaf, though
they learned great deal about leaves
while they examined them thus careful
ly.--New York Times.

Irritating, easy of application, and one

SHORT STORIES OF THE DAY.
A Stock Jobbing Deal.

The case of Shaw ys. Myers occupied
the attention OF Judge Shaw yesterday
in department five. II transpired that

go shares OF the capital stock OF the Se-
curity Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany. At the request of the defendant
she endorsed it and delivered it over to
him for safe keeping and also that he
might vote it at tho annual meeting OF
stockholders. 1t is alleged that upon
March Goth the defendant wrongfully
took the stock certificates and caused
the came to be cancelled on the books OF
the corporation and new certificate
issued to j. NJ. G. Marble. In April the
plaintiff discovered the misappropria-
ton and defendant then resto ed to her
90 shares OF the stock, leaving nine to
be accounted for. That nine is the
cause of contention in the courts. and
plaintiff asks that $3.50 be awarded for
the time and money expended in track
ing the missppropriated stock, and that
judgment be entered for $3.50, with in
tsrest accruing on 1886, and per cent
added, AMI costs.
