The torpedo is not a modern inven-
ton, as the majority Oh people sup
pose. It, like many other devices of
which civilized nations boast. IS hoary
with age. The invention Of guhraw-
der by the Chinese seven centuries
ago, commonly attributed to the Con-
fucians, has been disputed. and the
credit for the discovery has been Civ
en- by various authorities TO the
Greeks or Romans.
Combustibles like naphtha. to which
class Greek fire belongs, were in use
in the armies Of the Califs. and were
confonded with explosives. Marcus
Graecus seems to have had a recipe
for making gunpowder from saltpeter.
coal and sulphur, and his career has
been placed as early as the ninth cen
tury; but 1t would be more correct
to place his life in the middle Of the
thirteenth. A critical sitting Of the
whole evidence leads to the conclu-
sion that saltpeter was first known in
China, but not before the middle Of
the twelfth century.
In the successful defense Of the Chi
nese city Piauking against the Mon
gols, explosives, blasting bodies and
rockets were employed against the
enemy, and some diagrams exist
which show the form in which these
explosives were used.

were made so that they could be-
transformed into hunks at night. At
every alternate station hot water was
provided for making tea. In nearly
every train one car was fitted as
