SMOKELESS POWDER.

Cordite the Most Potent Explosive of Modern Times.

cineo the advent cf the speedy torp> . boat und sinee rapid firing guns have en placed em battleships and cruisers that would allov- to the officers and gumners an unobstructed view of an cacmy under all conditions has been sour‘bt, and thousands of dol- lers have beeu expended in the effort tc obtain a satisfactory substitute for black gunpowder. Cordite, the latest explo- sive, is said toube the most satisfactory propellant of modern times for naval! warfare, and the expert opinion seems to be that in afew years gunpowder as now understood ‘will have vanished. The earliest records of established powder mills show that there was only one in operation in 1590, this one being in England. During the year 1787 the Waltham Abbey Powder mills were parchased by the English government. They are still conducted by it. The Fa. versham snills, which up to that date were the largest in the world, passed into the hands of # private corporstion in 1815. The manufacture of powder 4 was continued without much improve- ment, except in the efficiency of the grinding and mixing machinery, until about 35 years the formula for black powder being saltpeter 75 parts, charcoal 15 parts and splohur 10 parts, the whole forming :.a mechanical mix- ture and not a chemical compound. Smokeless powder, however, became absolutely a necessity, for the reason that smoke produciny powders masked the object aimed at, and the torpedo boat, which was becoming a recognized feature of naval warfare, could dash up and discharge one or more deadly mis- siles under cover of the smoke. Smokeless powders were first pro- duced in France, and for some time the secret of the mauufacture was guarded jealously. As soon as the necessity for this kind of powder became apparent, moweve r, @ number of manufacturers dexoted attontion to it, nd as a result

"r 270,

“azmwous brands of smokeless explosives were placed on the market.

The most satisfactory resalts evento alty made their appearance in cordite, which was produced throngh experi- | ments made by Professor ‘Dewar and Sir | Frederick Abel. Cordite iis composed of , aitroglyeerinu 58 per cent,:gun cotton 37 per cent and vaseline 5 per eent Nitro- | givcerin is an oily, colorless liquid and an active poison. It is produced by mix- ing a quantity of sulphuric acid with | alinost double the amount of nitric acid | and allowing it to cool About one- eighth of the total weight of glycerin is then added gradually, the mixture be- ing kept below a temperature of 70 de- grees F. by passing air and cold water through it. After the mixture has stood a sufficient time the acids are drawn off, and the residue (nitroglycerin) is wash- ed and filtered.

Nitroglycerin cannot be ignited easily by a flame, and a lighted match or ta- per plunged into it would be extinguish- ed. It is sensitive to friction or percus- sion, either of which will detonate it. Another peculiarity is that the higher the temperature the more sensitive it becomes. It will solidify at a temper- ature of 40 degrees, and its explosive ferce is estimated to be about twelve times that of gunpowder.

Que of the most approved methods | used in the manufacture of gun cotton , is this: The raw cotton is torn into shreds, dried and dipped in a mixture of sulphuric and nitric-acids. It is then placed in astream of running water and washed thoroughly. The cotton is then wrung out, usually in a centrifugal ma- chine.

It is afterward boiled, dried, cut into pulp and pressed into disks. When the gun cotton is finished, there mild be no trace of the acids remaining. Vzse- line, the other component part of cor- dite, is the well known extract from pe- troleum, and its usefulness is chiefly to lubricate the bore of the gun and thus | lessen the friction between it and the projectile. It also hasa tendency to im- part a waterproof nature to cordite.

A colorless liquid prepared from ace- tate of lime, called acetone, is msed as a solvent in the manufacture of cordite. | oo method of preparing the explosive

shi

Coaghs and colds need not | be endured; they can be | cured, and that quickly.

Many mixtures are tem- porary in effect, but Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites is a permanent remedy.

The oil feeds the blood and warms the body; the hypophosphites tone up the nerves; the glycerine soothes the inflamed throat and lungs.

The combination cures. This may prevent serious

lung troubles.

: The requ ired proportion of nitro- ai erin §s poured over the gun cotton, and the two, with the addition of ace- | tone, are kneaded together intoa stiff } paste. Vaseline is then added, and the whole compound, after being thorough- ly mixed, is put into a machine and the cordite pressed out and cut into lengths, after which it is dried.

‘Lo the artillerist the nature of cordite is represented by a fraction whose nu- merator gives in hundredths of an inch the diameter of the die through which the cordite has been pressed, its denom- inxtor being the length of the stick in inches. The eordite known as 30-12, which is the size used for the 6 inch quick firing guns, signifies that its di- ameter is three-tenths of an inch, and “tis 12 inches long.

It is necessary to use a fine grain powder to ignite a charge of cordipe, it being secured in such a manner that a flash from the tube firing the gun will | cause the explosion of the charge. A | ful! charge of powder for a 12 inch gun is 285 pounds, while th

e cordite charge, | having the same efficiency, is only 16744 | pounds.

Cordite is one of the safest explosives known, and is not dangerous unless it | is confined. It can be held in the hand | and lighted without danger. It burns slowly and with a bright flame. Al- | though comparatively a new discovery, | it is used extensively in every navy | throughout the world. It was manufac- | tured first in Great Britain and was in | general use on her battleships before | sAopted by other powers.—New York | Gun.

Some Tough Old Nuts.

Not all centenarians have been para- gons of all the virtues) Thomas Whit- tington, who lived to be 104, was @ habitual drunkard, drinking only Lon- don gin, of which he consumed from a pint to 1'4 pintsdaily. Philip Laroque went to bed drunk at least two nights in the week until he was 100. At 92 he cut four new teeth. John de la Somet, 130 years old, was an inveterate smoker.

Several famous old people were ex-

| tremely addicted to matrimony. Owen

Duffy, who lived to be 122, married his third wife at 116, “‘by whom he hada son and a daughter.’’ Francis Hongo, a Venetian, was five times married and was the father of 49 children. At the age of 100 his white hair fell out and a new crop of the original color came in. At the age of 112 he had two new teeth.

A Berlin Scandal. A Berlin physician of standing says, in a medical paper, that the nurses in

the private hospitals are in league with

the undertakers, who distribute among them circulars offering as much as $25 ' by way of gratuity for a good job. He calls the attention of his professional colleagues to this infamous combina- tion, which has been in force, so he de- elares, for half a centuzy and exists in other large towns. He suggests the em- ployment whenever it is possible of wo- men working in sisterhoods or actuated by some higher motive than the mere pursuit of gain.—Berlin Correspond- ence.

He Worked In Ol.

Mrs. Million—Oh, so you used to know the Count Macaroni in Italy. He is very attentive to my daughter, you know, and I am somewhat interested in him. He tells me that he worked for 15 years under one of. the old Italian mas- ters and that his specialty is work in oil.

Mr. Globetrotter—Yes, that was his profession when Isaw him. He was one ef the most rapid sardine canners in the

place.—London Answers.

Painfully True,

She—So this is your picture? Itisa true representation of the dining room of the ocean steamer, but wliy didn’t | you introduce some characters?

He—Because that picture is entitled “The Dinner Hour During a Rouga Passage. ’’—Stray Stories.
