LYDDITR SHELLS
TAs eNDsrior1ty Of the sAells UosA ~
the EnGliAh N the
9OuAaA.

According to the accounts rec0vSo
from those who participated in the re-
cent Soudan campaign, the destructive
nous and far exceeded any desults
previously attained. In an incredibly
short time earthworks were destroyed,
leaving breaches through which the
xhrapnel or man-killing shells could
be fired. and the work of destruction
thus completed. The experience of tbs
whole campaign leaves no room for
doubt that lyddite is by far the most
efficient shell explosive known.
It is very difficult problem to as
certain the numerical superiority Of
lyddite over other explosives. 1t is GER
tainly six times more powerful than
nitroglycerin, which in turn is at
least eight times more powerful than
the same weight of gunpowder. Fur
ther. all experience shows that its eff
fects are spread over much greater
area than in the case OF nitroglvcerin
or dynamite. which are intensely local
in their action. 1t has been frequently
enormously stated that lyddite or
neIlhlte may De useu as SUBS IL uie
for cordite or gunpowder in propelling
projectile; such could not be the case,
however, as the explosion takes place
so rapidly that the chamber of the gun
would be inevitably shattered Prob.
ably one of the greatest advantages OF
lrddite is its absolute safety to handle
which we can realize when we recall
it's use in the arts for over century
without its powers being even suspect
ed. In this respect, combined with its
supriative destructive capacities
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells, and it is safe to predict tina
il will play an extremely important
p7-s in the great military operations
of the furure.-Boston Globe.
