Detonation, Is Used.

gases.
Practical explosives consist either OF
bodies such as nitroglycerin and nitro
relulose, which are explosive in them
selves or mixtures of ingredients
which separately are or may be non
explosive, but when intimately mixed
are capable OF being exploded.
Explosives are exploded either by
simple ignition. as In the case OF black
gunpowder. or by means of a detonator
containing mercury illuminate.
The molecules Of an explosive may
be regarded ms in n state Of unstable
chemical equilibrium. \ stable state OF
equilibrium Is brought about by the
sudden decomposition OF the original
compounds with the evolution of heat.
An explosion is thus an extremely rapid
decomposition. accompanied by the pro
duction OF large volume of gas and
the development Of much heat
There are two well defined modes OF
explosion which can be described as
combustion and defamation. In the
former case the explosive Is simply ig
nited. and combustion takes place by
transference OF heat from layer TO layer
Of the explosive. The rapidity with
which the combustion proceeds de-
