DISCOVERY OF DYNAMITE.
Terrible Explosive First Prepared by an Italian Chemist in
 the Year 1S46.

Few people know what dynamite is, though the word is in common use, says the American Syren and Shipping Jour- nal. It is a giant gunpowder, that is, an explosive material. varying in strength and safety of handling according to the percentage of nitroglycerin it con- tains. Nltroglycerin, whence it derives its strength, is composed of ordinary glycerin and nitric acid, compounded to- gether in certain proportions and at a certain temperature. Nitroglycerin. though not the strongest explosive known, being exceeded in power by ni- trogen and other products of chemistry, is thus far the most terrible explosive manufactured to any extent. Nitro glycerin by itself is notasafe to handle, hence dynamite is preferred.
 It is extensively made and consumed Tn the United States under the various names of Giant, Hercules. Jupiter and Atlas powders, all of which contain anywhere from 30 to 80 per cent of ni- troglycerin, the residue of the compound being made up of rotten stone, nonex- plosive earth, sawdust, charcoal. plas- ter of paris, black powder, or some other substance that takes up the glycerin and makes porous, spongy mass.
 Nitroglycerin was discovered by Sal vero. an Italian chemist, in 1345. Dyna- mite is prepared by simply kneading with the naked hands 25 per cent. of in fusorial earth and 75 per cent. of nitro glycerin until the mixture assumes 3 putty condition not unlike moist brown sugar. Before mixing the infusorial earth is calcined in a. furnace in order to burn out all organic matter and it is also sifted to free 1t of large grains. While still moist it is squeezed into car tridges, which ares prepared of parch- ment paper, and the firing is done by illuminate of silver in copper capsules provided with patent exploders
 Nitroglycerin is made of nitric acid one part and sulphuric acid two parts, to which is added ordinary glycerin, and the mixture is we'll washed with pure water. The infusion is composed of small microscopic silicious shells which have lost their. living creatures. The cellular parts receive the nitroglyc- erin and hold it by capillary attraction, both inside and out. The earth is very light. Water is expelled from it by means of a furnace and then in the form of a powder it is mixed with nitroglyc- erin. Nitrog1ycerin has 8 sweet, aro- matic, pungent taste, and the peculiar property of causing g violent headache when placed In small quantity on the tongue or wrist. It freezes at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, becoming white, half crystallized mass, which must be melt ed by the application of water at a ten1- perature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
