Picric acid is a bright yellow substance freely used in peacefnl industries for dyeing purposes. It is obtained by the action of nitric acid on phenol, or car- bolic acid. It burns vety violently, and, owing to the tremendons blast produced by the explosion, the des- tructive effect of a ‘bursting shell filled with it is some 11 times greater than that of a shell filled with powder. Common shells of forged steel filled with lyddite are used with 6 and 92 inch bieech-loading guns, and with howitzers ; also with 4 to 6 inch quick- hring guns. “All lyddite shells are equipped with percussion nose fuzes only ;hence the explosion takes place on impact in the following fashion. The percussion fuze in turn ignites the bursting charge of lyddite, the detonation of the fuse, and of the two explosives inside the shell, being instantaneous. ‘The picric pow- der exploder, we should add, is inserted in a recess, left in the lyddite for that purpose. Lyddite shell is to some ex- tent less barbarous than shrapnel ex- ploded by powder, for, though wide- spread, its death-dealing effects are due mere to air-concussion thanjto the wounding cffects of the flying frag- ments. In other words, in the case of a lyddite shell bursting in a group of men, the greater number will be kilied, not by pieces of the shell, Dut by the blow of the suddenly com- pressed air.” What Methuen Did Say. The despatch attributing to Lord Methuen the statement that the battle of Modder River was the “bloodiest of the century,” has raised a chorus of derision in the United States. Some newspapers, however, have had the good sense to see that the despatch was bogus. The battle of Modder River well merits Gen. Methuen’s descripticns as one of the hardest and most trying in “the annals of the British army,” The expression “bloodiest of the century” is the invention of a yellow correspon- dent.
