Enneriments with aEelenlte.

In experimenting with the new explo-
siyc, melcnite, some most interesting facts
were brought to light. Three wells were
sunk on the slope of three hills. There was
an interval of 100 yards between two OF
them and slightly more between the second
and third. The wells were square in form
and 26 feet deep. At the bottom there was
a chamber arranged to hold 80 cases Of the
explosive, each case containing lOpounds;
$500 pounds of powder were put into one
of the chambers, and 2 T5O pounds Of mel
enite were placed in the other. The pow
der was ignited by an electric current. A
terrific roar and rumbling, then great
column Of smoke covered the place. When
this had cleared away, it was discovered
that the entire face of the locality had been
changed in appearance. Enormous masses
of rock were thrown to the bottom and op-
posito side of the ravine; in some cases
L pieces as largo as 35 cubic feet were flung
out like marbles. The road was obscuCd,
vegetation had entirely vanished, and the
surface Of the ground was covered with
rocks ANA earth.
An hour GftorwGrd the melenitc was ex-
/ ploded The noise was louder than the
| charge of powder, and the earth was seri,
/ ously ahukon aU 500 yards distant from the
/ place whore the explosion occurred. The
popularity of this explosive was that in
stead Of large masses tho rock was reduced
Utmost to fragments. 1t was difficult to
find piece larger than mans fist, SO
completely was it disintegratod, and the
/ earth was opened for some distance. A not
/ able feature of the explosive was that in
/ wide fssurcs, where the rocks remained
/ apparently intact, they were so loosened
/ and crushed by the explosion that the
slightest touch pracipitatod them down
the ravinc, where they crumbled into little
pieces This experiment. has attracted a
great deal of attention especially from the
fact of the power of the mclenite to crusl
rocks into such small bits a peculiarly
hitherto unknown in experimenting Will
