EXPLOSIVES.
How 7hey Are "Set OF" and How
They May Be Handled.

n0y way oS tS0tbAsSAs
There are two ways in which an ex-
plostye may be set off-by burning and
by defamation. The burning process is
progressive from one particle to an
other, as Of fire in a CRATE. only infinite
~ more rapid. This process is adapted
to gunpowder. requiring, as it does, a
very short time for the burning up Of
the explosive body. The other form Of
explosion. the decorative, being at
once throughout the mass, is united
for use in guns, which would be smash
ed to pieces, but is adapted to shat
tering or breaking purposeS such as
blasting rocks in mining operations and
bursting charges in shells. torpedoes
and submarine mines. Substances Of
the latter sort are termed high e8plo-
sives. Some examples may be given
Of the safety with which the most da9-
gerous explosives may ordinarily be
handled. For instance, a considerable
quantity of gun cotton, such as pure
cotton treated with nitric acid, may be
set afire and will burn. quietly. but If
sufficient mass be set afre the heat and
pressure on the surface Of the burning
body will cause the whole to be ex-
ploded. A torpedo filed with wet COM
pressed gun cotton will not explode if a
shell from a cannon should penetrate it
and burst in the mass Of gun cotton.
Even nltroglycerin will burn like oil in
small quantities, and stick Of nitro
glycerin may be set on fire without dan
ger Of harm.-St. Nicholas
