been suffering from the effects of an

last fall. His condition became serious

Saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal are
still tho only ingredients Of the gun

gunpowder made Of different materials
is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture Of saltpeter and charcoal alone
would form an explosive. and sulphur
is added chiefly to mako it plastic or

purified by the most careful! chemical
skill before they are combined Then
IN exact proportion Of each has to be
measured out according to tho kind Of

For the gunpowder generally used you
would find in every 100 pounds, if you
could separate the ingredients, IS
pounds of saltpeter, Is pounds Of char
coal and 10 pounds of sulphur, but it
would be almost impossible to separate
the ingredients, for they are not merely
mixed together as you might mix pep
