EXPLOSIVE IMMUNE TO SHOCK
Would Seem to Be invaluable In
Mining Operations.

The manufacture of q new explo-
sive, known as Sengite, to meet the
growing shortage of nitroglycerin
explosives, now used by the mining
industry in South Africa, has been
recently commenced.
This new explosive, which has .
guncotton base, is the result Of e1-
periments conducted by Kynoch,
Ltd, at their Umbogintwini (Na-
tall factory. This explosive is said
to be so insensitive to shock as to be
quite safe if hammered with a steel
tool. Accidental explosions in min
ing, caused by drilling into unfred
holes, would not occur when this ex-
plosive was used.
The name Sengite originated with
the manufacturers. The first four
letters were derived by using the in
itial letters in the following words:
Substitute explosive, no glycerin."
The last three letters are taken from
the word dynamite"

ALL SOUGHT HIDDEN ENEMY
Various Ways in Which Cnases
Went After the Pirate Wh'en
Struck the CoWard's Blow.

The organization Of the numerous
ocean and coastal conveys conceded
with the appearance in French wa
tiers of large number of motor
driven submarine chasers, built IN
the United States for the French
navy, said review OF the war mace
by an expert for the Scientific Amer
lean. These vessels embodied all the
desired characteristics of high speed
and seagoing qualities, and they
proved ideal "vedettes de patroull-
les" for the coastal work on which
they are employed.
Mention should also be made OF
another type of antisubmarine craft,
which in its design and construction
is wholly Gallo. This is the "aviso,"
which has it's counterpart in the
British "sloop." In the "aviso," the
French naval constructors have de-
veloped motor-driven, ocean-going
cruiser, which exceptionally well en-
bodies all the characteristics consid-
cred essential to offensive anti-U-
boat operations, namely, high speed,
heavy armament, high free-board,
excellent sea-keeping qualities. and
q maximum steaming radius.
The machinery of the "avisos"
may be said to be product of the
war, and it is mainly due to its ex-
cellence that these vessels have
proved SO satisfactory under all con-
ditions of service.
