We had thought that the Chinese had long before this discovered gunpowder.. Iu 1807, Rev." Mr. Forsythe, an English clergyman, discovered -the percussion-cap. In IS08 Pelonze discovered an explosive f hy steeping cotton io. nitric and sul-ypl)uricacid.In- 18iG, Scnonbein made a practical application oi the discov f rv v of -Polouze. In 1 847. ; Sobrero d isco ; e red . n itro-gly cerine Pelouze as a Frenchman,' and Spbrero was an Italian. Mr. Alfred,NQbel,a Swiss, is "considered --the greatest inventor and maker of air blasting agents.!He Las improved upon many discoveries and made some important ones. i He took nitro-glycerine 'alreadydiscov ered and began to- nse it for an ex plosive. This was 1865. - He had his factory blown np. by it. A great many serious accidents occurred in uianyarts-of the world by this Hew, and wondrous agent; y Nobel gave up its manufacture .and .began to look around" for- a substitute : He found an absorbent in a certain kind of, earth to be found in Hanover, New Jersey ad in Scotland.

' We read an article on "Explosives" in the July. number .of the lLondon Quarterly' on the Fourth and ." w noted :i few points. - We "find a ref.-reiue to the ingenion's - effort of Gen. Hen Butler to .blow jjp. Fort Fi!er and Iiohf he failed. He caused 2U) tons of frun nowder, to be nlaced an.l the' vessel. to berlggedasablock aie runner. The .blockading rmada was sent twielve miles out and the diSLMuseijiLoHisiana approached -the rort. The Confederates were de? eeivei. When the vessel j was close . under the- Fort the powder was ex . plodedand no damage -was done.! to FisheK The Rev iew says:-, li - - "Uon that memorable night, several clerks, connected with an english firm- en gaged iu the blockading business, happened l sleeping at .Wilmington. .The dis tauce of the house in which they slept from ; the exploding vessel was from ten to eleven . miles, and so frightful was the concussion. lUat every one in the house, and, it might ne added, in all its neighbours, woke up under the impression that a mine bad been sprang within the grimy little town of Wil mington itself. The failure of the largest - volume of gunpowder ever exploded in one mass to do as -much damage as was , ex pected, admits of easy explanation. ' The tliiu deck of the Louisiana burst upwards iostautaneously, and allowed the whole firerv mass to rush harrrileselv intn'tlfrfiair i Had it been possible for General Butler to ' placing enormous weights upon the Lou isiana's deck a very different result . might have been attained.- Anyhow, the explosion close under an overhanging cliff of 210 tons of dynamite, or still, better, of blasting gelatine, would, if directed by an expert, probably have chipped off a rood or two from the ribs of North Carolina." - ABOUT CLOTHING. - - Prof. Barstow has been giving ad vce concerning -the clothing ono should wear.

It says of his last novel "Hot Ploughshares :' . . "It was certainly an ambitious idea that stirred Mr. Torgee, and one not lacking in originality, Id attempt to put recent his tory into the novel form without making a conventional historical novel.' As such he deserves sympathetic treatment.. None the less is it plain that the task, considered from the artistic side, 'is a "little beyond his strength. - The preceding novels,of the six , for 'Hot Ploughshares' is to form the first of a completed half dozen though written last are more , in the nature. of political pamphlets enlarged and cast, without great skill, in the form of a novel. Their weakest point is construction ; they fail in plots. Their next weakness is. in most cases, undue length." 'Hot Ploughshares" suffers "from Both these defects, and yet, taken all in all, is the most carefully writ--ten, the besUof the -six. In other words," Mr. Tourge6 has been learning to write."
