Do one thing at a t.Gie and the big
things first.-Lin"oln.
GunpoWder.

The explosion of gunpowder is divid
ed into three distinct stages. called the
ignition, Inflammation and combustion.
The ignition is the setting on fire of
the first grain. while the Inflammation
Is the spreading of the flame over the
surface of the powder from the point
of ignition. Combustion is the burn
ing up of each grain. The value of
gunpowder is due to the fact that
when subjected to sufficient heat it be-
comes gas which expands with
frightful rapidity. The so called ex-
plosion that takes place when Il match
Is touched to gunpowder is merely Il
chemical change, during which there
is sudden evolution of gases from
the original solid. 1t has been cal
culated that ordinary gunpowder on
exploding expands about 0,0OO times
or fills space this much larger as
gas than when in a solid form. When
this chemical change takes place in
closed vessel the expansion may be
made to do a work like that of forcing
projectile along the bore Of the
great gun or test tube in the line Of
least resistance.
