A German paper contains a descrlD-
ton of new explosive which prom
ises to make mining a less dangerous
risk and healthdestroying occupation.
Literary Digest in translating the Ger
man article, says:
Ammonia the new explosive, has
the advantage that it can not be set
off by ordinary means, but requires
special detonator of great power, so
that accidents are nearly impossible
This quality is due 10 the fact that
IT is a mixture of a metal having great
affinity for oxygen. with an explosive
whose constituents are easily sepa-
rated: Says the writer:

One hundred years ago trials were
made to separate aluminium oXld into
its components. but It required more
powerful methods than then existed TO
effect it-electrlclty was the sought
for agent.
"'There are other chemical com.

It, can be graduated in Its power by
modifying the relation OF It's compo-

the explosion must have a slow, loos-

ore can be moved only BY a sudden
crushing movement
The manner of operation of the
new explosive IS obvious from what
has been said above. The pulyerlzed
aluminium. on being ignited. takes up
the oxygen OF the ammonium nitrate,
generating an enormous amount Of
heat and expanding the gaseous prod

it is kept in q dry place. We read

Exhaustive trials have been made
with ammonal Three pounds of the
strongest quality were placed in a
package and thrown into the fire, The
package merely burned, without any
explosion occurring. Then one pound
was placed on a rock and hit with a
hammer no explosion resulting; five

question and declared that the largest

The bakers were also heard on the
question OF the weight of the loaye5
