Janan,. Wonderful, Powder.

New York Sun: Since the war be-
tween Russia and Japan began a good
deal has been heard OF the Shimose
powder. which, in the opinion of MILF
tary experts, gives Japan a great adj
vantage both on sea and land. The ex.
perts have been reasoning from what
was known of the destructive effects
OF the powder in the naval battles al
ready fought, for IT was not until a
few days g that a detailed descrip-
complish reached London.
This description shows the powder
to be ever more powerful Than was
supposed. The compound. which was
invented by Professor Shimose. is Of
much greater explosive force than gun
cotton or dynamite. Whereas a shell
with a bursting charge OF the COM
pounds ordinarily used in Europe is
broken into a comparatively small
number OF fragments, the majority OF
which are scattered through a very
limited arc, h Shimose explosive
skaters h proiectile into from 1000
to 5000 pieces. which are driven IN ev-
cry direction with equal force. so that
nothing ran live in the vicinity. II
is laimed that. in spite OF its ire
handled with perfect safety. 1t also
has. the advantage OF cheapness, Its
cost being about half that OF gun cot
ton. Altogether x seems that Japan's
artillery is likely to be far more eff
eective than Russia's. 1t goes without
saying that the Toxic authorities lake
the most elaborate precautions to keep
secret the details Of The manufacture
Of the powder.
