DISTANT EXPLOSIONS.

That explosions can be heard and can
produce an effect at a great distance is
well known, but precise statistics on this
point have only lately been gathered.
Taking into consideration the fact that
much depends on the formation OF the
country and on the condition OF the
weather prevailing at the time. II may
be admitted that a cannon can be heard
at distance OF twenty-five kilometres
when the wind is favorable. the thunder
can hc heard at a distance Of moro than
twenty-five kilometres and that an OK
plosion. OF dynamite can be heard at u
distance OF thirty kilometres.
The explosion OF q powder factory In
Anvers somo years ago caused n veritabie
earthquake. which was felt az n distance
of more than thirty kilometres. The
more recent explosion at 81. Ilelcn's. be
tween Liverpool and Manchester, was
even more notable In this~respect The
explosion took place in a factory OF chlor-
ate of potassium. an explosive material
OF which eighty tons were destroyed The
explosion was heard at Alderly Edge
thirty-nine kilometres from St Helen's
and at Murple. forty-iive kilometres from
that city. In many houses the windows
were violently shaken, and near the scene
OF the catastrophe the ground was moved
as by an earthquake.
From those and other facts scientists
now conclude that. under favorable CON
ditions great explosions may be felt az a
distance of nifty Kilometres. and they
maintain that accurate knowledge on this
point is most desirable since Il will help
10 minimize the danger that might other
wise result from pre-arraugcd explosions
OF y. Mantle or similar sutEtsnees.
