The actual chemical result of the ex-
plosion Of a charge of gunpowder cannot
be told with accuracy.
The general idea of what happens il
that when the temperature of the ignit-
ing agent reaches 4S2 degrees +. the
sulphur bursts into flame; the saltpeter,
acted upon by the heat, frees the oxygen
with which it is highly charged, and,
combining with the charcoal, forms car
bonic acid and oxide, while the nitrogen
is liberated.

proximately 81 per cent of solid matter

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one-haf the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-iy ing rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate, the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by peltry 20 feet. country is drained through this narrow canyon POO miles square. representing 40.000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- ficient to fill the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practically hmitless.
