DYNAMITE.
Nitro-glycerine was discovered in the year
1847, by an Italian named Asoogne Huboro,
but ita practical application is entirely due lo
the researches of Alfred Nobel, a Hwedish
mining engineer. It does not explode when
brought into contact with fire, and remains
unchanged even when raised to the tempera
ture of boiling water; but at abont forty
degrees Fahrenheit it beoomes converted
into an icy mass, which merely requires frio
tion to develop all its explosive qualities.
This peculiarity had been the cause of many
lamentable accidents, when M. Nobel com
menced a series of experiments with the view
of rendering its employment comparatively
safe.
After some time, he found that mixing it
with about ten per cent, of wood-spirit ren
dered it practically harmless, and this method
is now generally adopted. When required
for use, the wood-spirit can be removed, and
all the properties of the nitro-glycerine re
stored by the simple addition of water, which,
mixing with the spirit, sets free, as it were,
the nitro-glycerine. The only drawback to
this plan is that, when the nitro-glycerine is
reconverted into its original state, it is of
course quite as dangerous as ever.
To obviate this M. Nobel has invented a
new mixture, which he terms "dynamite."
It consists of seventy-flve per cent, of nitro
glycerine and twenty-five per cent, of very
fine sand, and is a brownish-leoking powder,
something like saw-dust, only greasy to the
touch. It burns without explosion when placed
in a fire or brought into contact with a lighted
match. If struck with a hammer on an
anvil the portion struck takes fire
without inflaming the dynamite around
it. As a proof of the perfect secu
rity 'with which it may be handled,
we may mention that M. Nobel has placed a
cose containing about eight pounds of it
(equal to nearly eighty pounds of ordinary
powder) on a brisk fire, and that the dyna
mite was consumed without noise or shook ;
while a similar case was Hung from a height
of sixty-five feet on a bold rock without pro
dncing the slightest explosion. A weight of
two hundred pounds was then let fall from a
height of twenty feet upon a box of dynamite;
the box was smashed, but again there was no
explosion.
The usual method of firing dynamite is by
means of a copper capsule containing fulmi
nate of silver the latter being inflamed
either by the ordinary slow-match, or by the
electric spark. The employment of this cap
sule and detonating composition is absolatoly
essential for the explosion of dynamite. In
order to give some idea of the force deve
loped by such an explosion, it may be men
tioned that a spoonful of it placed upon a
block of quartz, covered with bricks, and
fired, caused the quartz to be broken up into
pieces about the size of a pea, and reduced
the bricks to powder. Like nitro-glycerine,
dynamite congeals at. a comparatively high
temperature; but, to restore it to its proper
condition, it is only necessary to put it in a
warm place, or, if it is contained in closed
cartridges, to plunge it into warm water.
In mining operations, dynamite possesses
many advantages over nitro-glycerine, besides
those already mentioned.
A CHINESE S TOBY.
Some years ago, when the Tai-ping rebels
were devastating the most fruitful provinces
of China, a novel plan was invented for
discovering the money and other treasure
concealed by the terrified merchants
and people on the first warning of the ap
proach of the rebels. Some ingenious
Tai-ping thought within himself that,
ns men are all devout worshippers ot gold
and silver, something composed from man
would, in all probability, be more efficacious
than anything else in discovering hidden
treasure, without putting men to the pains
of pulling down each separate brick of any
suspected place, to get at the coveted hoard.
He therefore seized the first prisoner he
could lay hands on, and quietly proceeded to
cut him up and put him into a large caldron,
wherein he was allowed to simmer until a
sufficient coating of oil had collected on the
surface; this was carefully skimmed, and then
a roll of cloth was spread out and soaked
in the human oil, after which it was tightly
rolled up and converted into a torch.
The rebel then lit his torcb, and,
in a fever of expectation, started in quest
of a likely house. Having found one to
his taste, he entered, and slowly waved the
torch in all directions, intently watching the
flame, which shortly commenced flickering
like a man's fingers clutching at gold ! The
rebel was overjoyed at this sight, and felt
sure that this was a sign that treasure was
concealed exactly where the torch flickered;
he accordingly 6et to work and pulled down
that part of the wall, and sure enough there
discovered a goodly hoard of silver. This plan
was afterwards universally adopted in the
Tai-ping camp, and became so notorious that,
on an imperial officer in whose suite was my
informant taking one of the rebels prisoner,
be questioned him as to the truth of the re
port, remarking, at the same time, that he
could not possibly believe it. The prisoner
declared that such was their method of dis
covering hidden treasure. Whereupon the
officer replied that, as the prisoner persisted
in vouching for the truth of the report,, he
would do himself the pleasure of testing its
truth or falsehood on his person. The pris jner
was immediately killed, cooked, and con
verted into a torch, and used with the greatest
success !
EOEES DE CHAM HUE.
The Historical Museum in Munich has re
cently been presented with a new and cer
tainly very curious article; it is the robe de
chambre of the late King of Bavaria, Lu lwig
I, the same who made tha famous Lola
Montez a countess. The letter which accom
panies this present states that the monarch
wore this garment for sixty consecutive years.
It is to be hoped that it has undergone a tho
rough scouring previous to being placed
among the other curiosities of the museum.
The idea of exhibiting robes de chambre in
historical museums is not new; the Afusee dss
JSouverain$ in Paris contains several of them,
but they are not all as interesting as that of
Ludwigl. This museum is considered by
many a very useless institution. How many
among the present generation care for most
of the sovereigns ! Yet the crown of Charlo
magne, the panoply of Francis I and that of
Henry IV sre worth being preserved; so are
the small hat, and the grey coat of Napo
leon I. But among these interesting curiosi
ties, the most worthy of attracting our at
tention is the precious little slipper made of
black silk, worn out and patched, a mere
rag, whose miserable appearance forms a
strange contrast with the gaudy rags around.
This shoe 1b poor Mario Antoinette's. It
slipped from her foot when her. mutilated
body was taken down from the soanold.
licked up by a child, it passed into the hands
of a royalist family, who kept it religiously
for a loDg time, and afterward bequeathed it
to the Mutee da Bouveraias.
Its elegant sL&pe, the delicate texture of
the material, the perfection of the workman
ship, show that it is the same which the unfor
tunate woman wore when she left the Tuile
ries for tho prison of the temple. During
all the time of her captivity she could not
get any other, and was reduced, poor queen,
to mend it herself. This waif tells more of
the sufferings of Marie Antoinette than all
the accounts of historians.
