smoke. In other proportions they form
ordinary black. smoky powder used for
so many years as decorating and ex-
ploding agent in the propulsion OF DEATH
dealing projectiles. The discovery OF
the monk of the Black forest has been
discarded because OF the large amount
of smoke and the low velocity impaired
never complete.
In the July number of Casters Maya
zine Hudson Maxim discusses the dis
covery and perfecting OF the modern,
high velocity. smokeless gunpowder now
being used in sport and war. He traces
the discovery from Its inception to the
recent perfection. He shows how the
use of cellulose treated with nitrates--
gun cotton--and washed with nitro
glycerin becomes a harmless compound
under mere friction. but deadly one
under ignition. The freeing OF the gases
in this compound imparts a high degree
OF velocity to the projectile, and also
leaves the vision OF the gunner unim-
paired, for the amount of smoke pro-
duced by the combust:on-which Is COM
piete compared to puivsrixed black pow
der--is almost zero.
AS Is the case with all chemical revo-
buttons, the perfection of the smokeiess
powder, says Mr.. Maxim. was not due
to one step, but long series of them.
The Franco-Prussian war was fought
with the black powder This was the
last great war the world has witnessed.
Even then the French government was
experimenting with the Lebei powder
a nitric celiulose composition. which
failed. As a matter OF fact. the discov-
cry Is dated back as far as 1882, when
Braconnet, chemist of Nancy. France,
learned that starch and similar bodies
were rendered highly combustible by
treatment with nitric acid
d Pelouze six years later experimental
with cotton paper and other vegetable
substances under nitric acid. Dumas
also produced what he called mira
mide. produced by treating paper or
cardboard with concentrated nitric acid.
But these experiments were of no prac-
teal value. Mr.. Maxim carries the dis
cussfon through all the successive stages
TO the point where n smokeless powder
was produced that has all the advantages
desired. of slow combustion. heavy ex-
plosive force and safety without n great
quantity of smoke in the burning. But
gun cotton and nitroglycerin. two agents
OF fearful power alone, are combined to
make this death-deaiing agent

way fully two-thirds of the rockers
that now clutter up our houses would
be split into kindling wood and three
fourthS of the factories that are now
turning them out by the hundred would
be shut down. People who have never
given the matter thought have no idea
how much energy is wasted in keeping
