HIGH EXPLOSIVES AND
 THEaR MANUFACTURER

When nitric acid acts on cotton, 1t converts it thereby into gucotton, which, as everyone knows isa s'high explosive. of tremendous power. The process of making guncotton consists in saking the cotton in mixture of nitric and sulphur:ic acids. After un- dergoing that treatment, the cotton is wrung by wringers and thoroughly washed, in order to remove the free acid. It is then reduced to pulp in a pu1ping machine, and finally, when wanted for use in torpedoes, it is carefully moulded into blocks
 Guncotton is many times as power fuI as gunpowder. When "set off'' 1 it is instantaneeusly resolved into a large volume of highly heated gas that produces an overwhelmingly de- structive effect In order that the effect shall be forthconing it is not I even necessary that the gas shall
 be confined for it's particles move with such surprising velocity that the explostve never fails st6 work havoc even in the open
 If. instead of using cotton, we mix ordinary gIycerfn---a harmless, sweet, and co1orIess lquid-with nitric acid, we get nitrog1ycerin, another high ex- p1osive of enormous power. It is Iyery dangerous, and for that reason is commonly mixed with other mater fals when put into industrial uses 4tO make QynaT1lL6, TOCLSnSEOnos a, substance that by itself s inert and harmless. is saturated with it. But I there are many kinds of dynamite, The material used as an absorber is called the dope It may be in itself an explosive like gunpowder, and in i that case is know as an active dope z | The essential difference between Fsueh high explosives as guncottons and Initroglycerin and the ordinary ex- Ip1osive, like gunpowder. lies in the fact that each mo1ecuIe of the high explosive contains both the thing that burns and the oxygen that supports the burning. When the stuff is etset off, therefore. there is no delay, and
 the whole mass Is instantly converted
 into gas In the case of gunpowder,
 on the other hand there is not a chemical. but a mechanical mixture
 of the essential ingredients, and ac- cordingIy the fire produced by ig- hilton has to be communicated with Ire1ative sIowness from grain to grain,
 Furthermore, 8 chemical compound
 of the high explosive kind is so un- I stable that a mere mechanical shock
 will explode it. In order to set it off,
 therefore, a @tdetOnator. .s'@cOrres-
 bonding to a eap,-conposed of some
 such substance as illuminate of mer- curry, is commonly used. The fu1nain- .
 ate is made by treating alcohol with
 nitric acid in the presence of mercury. sl-Prof. Charles E.. Munroe, in The
 Youths Companion.
