THE WAYS OF NITRO-GLYCERINE
How II Is Made, and what Happens
When 1t Is Destroyed.
From the indianapolis Journal


Hartford City, Ind, Oct. 7.-Nitro-glyc-
erin and its peculiarities are little known
even in localities where it is made. Prob
ably in no other place in the United States
is there such a great amount of the explo-
slve used as in the Indiana oil fields. In
diana has four nitro-glycerlne factories.
two near Montpelier, Blackford county,
one at Button and one at Knightstown.
The explosive is made from a compost
ton OF acids and glycerin. 1t is generally
pale yellow in color. 1t is odorless. and
has a sweet, pungent, aromatic flavor.
If touched by ones tongue, or even
brought into contact with the skin it will
produce severe headache. A large tank.
called an agitator, is where the fluid Is
mixed and the mixing Is composed of
equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acid.
Inside the tank are several paddles, like
those of a churn, and 1t is here that the
real danger in the manufacture exists.
The paddles are put in operation and
steady stream of sweet glycerin is turned
into the vat until $50 pounds are thorough
" mixed with the 1900 pounds of acid The
chemicals coming in contact produce an
intense heat and In order to obviate the
danger cold water is run through pipee en-
crcllng and running through the vat. AT
like fire, arises. If cutting off the supply
of elycerin in the agitator does not lower
the temperature it is time to say fare
we'll Before 80 degrees are reached moth
ing but atoms Of the structure and its
contents are left.
In its manufacture water is used to flood
the workroom, since drop falling on the
floor might lead TO an explosion Not
a nail Is TO be found In the floor of the
factory and the visitor is cautioned not to
drag his feet Those who make the dam
gerous fluid say that one may pour bar
rel of nitro-glycerine from a high building
10 cement walk below. and IL will not ex-
plode, but a small quantity of 1t dropped
from the same hight in a can will blow the
building down. A sharp conclusion In
stantly touches 1t off. Factories become
useless after few years operation and
have TO be destroyed. The timber be-
comes saturated with nitro-glycerin and
an explosion Is imminent at any time.
The average production of glycerin from
800 pounds of acid and $50 pounds of
glycerin is about 40 quarts. The glycerin
concerns in Ohio and Indiana are in the
trust. and the price within the past few
weeks has been advanced from IS cents
to 80 cents per quart. About l6O quarts
constitute an average shot for an Indiana
oil well While magazine explosions are
not rare, the real cause for blowing up
never becomes known. Those who are
close enough to see the cause always go
up with the building. The average time
for a shooter or nitro-glycerln maker to
remain in the business does not exceed
five years Death is instant, and no one
has ever recovered from nttro-gycerin
accident. Bodies are tom to atoms. Two

with the practice of forestry. with work

forest to the weather and the streams, and
will conclude with a brief description OF
forestry at home and abroad.
