ART GALLERY FOR THE BLIND

There is a large collection of busts and

not so placed that they could be enjoyed

A shelf within easy reach viii be put

will be placed the portraits. They can
then be readily handled by the sight!ess
and through the tips of their fingers they
will come to know the features and char-
acteristics of the people already known
to them in literature.
To Ellen Terry is due the suggestion
which has been carried out by Mr.. Put
nam. During her last visit to Washing

quert the reading rooms for the blind
at the Congressional Library and sent
them tickets to one of her matinees. Al
ter the performance she invited them up
on the stage and allowed them to hold
hel hand and even to run the tips of their
fingers over her face. that they might
see her" This so touched her heart that
she had a portrait OF herself made in re-
lief and sent to the reading room for
them.
At the time Of the death of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison the blind were much inter-
ested in him and his history, and were
given some interesting talks by different
people A bust of the general that had
been sent to the copyright division dur
ing the Worlds Fair by a well-known
Japarese artist was sent to the reading
room and the blind people exclaimed in
breath. How like the Japanese our

Jap had elevated eyebrows and other

the ex-President a decidedly Japanese

When told this incident Mr.. Putnam

TANNING LYDDITE.
MAXINTS RECENT WORK WITH THE NEW
EXPLOSIVE
BY REDUCING ITS sENsTTIvENEss TO
SHOCK HE INCREASES ITS PRAC-
TICAI4 VALUE.

Sir Hiram Maxim. who has probably done
more 10 perfect blasting and military explosives
than any other man now living. has within the
last few weeks conducted some interesting
periments with a view TO increasing the eff
cheney Of lyddite.
One Of the most important problems which
have engaged the attention Of ordnance experts
for ten fifteen years is how best to discharge
from a cannon shell containing dynamite or
other materials OF exceptionally high explosive
power The difficulty TO he overcome was the
disposition Of the shell To explode before leaving
the gun. owing to the extraordinary sensitive
Of its contents. Dynamite, which is moth
ing but d peculiar kind of earth soaked in nitro
glyccrine. and guncotton are both so constitut-
ed that sudden jar or shock will ignite them.
II is not necessary 10 bring fire in actual con-
tact with them. Hence the first attempts to use
dynamite guncotton In cannon were dis
astrous
One of the earliest propositions for dealing

inventor OF dynamite. The famous Swede pro-
posed to tame nitroGlycerine by adding cam
phor and collodion, but his attempt was not sue
cessful. Subsequently. in 1885. Maxim patented
a powder in which he put paraffin wax for the
same purpose. Later he tried castor oil and
vaseline each by itself, with better results. and
he regarded the use Of vaseline in the manu-
facture of cordite by the British Government
an infringement of his rights.
In his latest experiments Sir Hiram added
castor oil or vaseline TO lyddite. and either of
them would produce the desired effect This
modification of the compound reduces its sensi-
tiveness to jar, but without affecting its power.
Even when 10 per cent OF his mixture was nitro
gIycerine and only . per cent vaseline, lyddite
showed less of a readiness to explode from con-
cussion than ordinary black gunpowder. Thus
treated. then the new high explosive would
seem to be safer than the kind OF powder put
inside of bombshells thirty forty years ago.
Hence it now looks as If lyddite might be made
to do work in warfare not hitherto obtained
from nitroglycerine guncottOn, and that tt
might be sent through any armor plate that can
be pierced at all without exploding.
New-York tribune., 1901-09-01

with this trouble was to drive the shell from
the gun by compressed air instead OF gunpow-
der. Several inventors worked along this line.
Zalinski among them but none of them were
able to throw a shell containing high explosive
as far as was desired. Another plan, pursued
by several we'll known experimenters. was to
employ a gunpowder that would burn so slowly
that 1t would not greatly jar the projectile. and
would exert it's full force only when the latter
had reached the muzzle. At the present time this
method is probably regarded as the more prom
Using OF the two here referred to. Sir Hiram,
however is acting on still another principle. al
though it might be employed advantageously In
combination with the slow burning powder
scheme For the present his system is being
tried only with lyddite.
The basis of this explosive is picric acid. which
is carbolic acid treated with nitric acid. Picric
acid is analogous to nitroglycerine and TO nitro
cellulose or guncotton- 1t is one of the mar
vels of chemistry that the combination OF an ex-
ceedingly small quantity of nitric acid with
perfectly innocent substance will impart TO the
latter very dangerous properties. The explosive
character of picric acid has long been known,
but it was not turned to practical account on az
large scale until the South African war IL Nfll
be remembered that at the beginning of that
contest the British Government deemed IL ex-
