Now, lyddte Is indigo on v113ch nitric acid has been poured. It ia not 5nly a thing to be melted and 1c1led into shells and set off with pt1mer of guncotton, but 1t is a bril- 3katlt yellow dye. When the-e~plosive iolnade In England it is called lyddite; NNen it is made in France it is called 1A&ainlte, but it will answer to either 1I4&ne if 1t Is touched off in the right ~roy
 This may seem queer use of indi- o& but it is still queerer that all the 6fl4ht colors that we call the anlline 0yHs, and which we know are derived ft1tn the coal tar products, are SO N1hed from indigo's other name anil, x11de in the laboratory.
