FIRECRACKERS,
How They Are Now Manufactured In
the United States.

How They Are Now Manufactured In
the United States.
A few years ago all the firecrackers
with which American boys and girls
celebrated the Fourth of July were
brought over from China. But Yankee
ingenuity soon found a way to make its
own firecrackers, and now the Chinese
actually celebrate with the fireworks of
the finer kinds sent over from America,
says the Chicago Record.
The Chinese probably made firecrack-
ers thousands Of years ago. They were
the first to discover gunpowder, and
the very old books tell how the Chinese
had curious art of making "devouring
fire. and causing the earth "to thunder
right terribly" The discovery of pow
der was due to the presence of vast
beds of saltpeter in the plains of China
and India. Some Chinaman was camp
ing perhaps near these beds and left
some charcoal from his campfire In
some way the saltpeter and the char
coal became mixed, and the next camp
er who built his fire in that spot was
no doubt startled by seeing the rocks
blaze up furiously. 1t was only n step
then to the addition of sulphur to this
flashing powder and presently to the
production of fireworks.
FirecraCkerS are made by hand in
China, but the Yankee has invented a
few simple but effective devices by
means of which an American girl can
make as many crackers in one day as
IS or 20 Cinnamon and make them bet
ter too.
The firecracker tubes are made by
rolling sheets of strawboard over a
teel roll, forming a tube just the size
/ # the intended firecracker. The fuse
/ of spun cotton, soaked in a mixture
of starch and fine gunpowder, and is
listened into the tube by means Of
packing of clay, which hardens into
firm plug.
The explosive mixture, which is Of
charcoal, bichrOmate of potash and chic.
rate of potash, is put into the crackers
! 100 at a time, and the bottom is then
| plugged with a bit of cork, which is
rammed down hard on the powder
After being dried for time the crack
ers are by girls coated with red and
green and yellow paper and then braid
eG into punches and packed away to
await the Fourth of July. Chinese fire
CRACKERS may still be had in the mar
ko., but they are generally regarded as
less excellent in quality than those
made in this country. But they will
tall pop, and that Is all any boy wants.
