Ij. 'Aib ii.l fllil bynsmllr. Tliero are several grades tif dyna mite, the quality depending lipon the absorbent used for absorbing the nitro glycerine. Nitr'd-glycerine consists of the common oil of glycerine, nitric acid and sulphuric acid, mixed under certain" conditions, And is a most dart gerods compound, tile trtnspdrtation or handling of it lieing attended with tlio greatest danger.- This quality prevents its use td irluch exteiit, as it must be rhade ricar the place at which it is td beaused: f'or the purpdse of making it available for blasting purposes, dyna mite was invented. It consists of nitro . glycerine mixed witll sonie abstirlient Infusorial earth, broii'llt from" Germany, is considered the best material for this purpose; wo'dd pulp, charcoal, sulphur nd paper pulp being" tised for the cheaper' rind less powerful gfades. For commercial purposes it is packed in cartridges of various sizes, from one to two inches irt diameter and aboUt 8 indies long. It is commonly supposed thai dynamite is exploded by concussion, biit fifty poiinds of the ellpldsive triay btt thrown from" tHe top of a high building with no morn effect than would result from throwing down a box of sand. Neither is it exploded by fire. It is easily ignited and in bUrnirtg gives an intense heat, but it canrtot be exploded in this way. I t is said tllttt the only way in which it can bo exploded Is by weans of fire and concussion at the same instant. For this purposo a strong' copper percussion cap containing fulminate of mercury is used. Without the cap the cartridge is comparatively harmless, and tho cap is not inserted until just before the cartridge is to bo used. The best dyna mite is about twelve times as strong as gun-powder, and is very effective for blunting purposes. It freezes at about 45, and it is almost impossiblo to explode in a frozen condition. It may may be used under water. The paper shell of the cartridge has a covering of paratllne which is Mot easily prm&trated by water) but even if tlW dynamite is wet its explosive properties are not destroyed, though if it remain in the water any length of time the glycerine is washed out and the destructive value of the compound is lost. 1 here is a marked difference in the explosion of gun powder and dynamite; tho former, if placed on the floor of a buildins and exploded, might blow out the windows without seriously injuring the structure, but dynamite exof ts a power ful force downward, and for this rcdson is used by the so-called ''dynamiters," as they can hastily placet it anywhere in a building, without confining it, as would be necessary with gunpowder. There is a certain amount of comfort in the reflection that although ni:ro glycerine and the like are such terrible explosives, yet the devastation supposed to be possible from even a very moder ate quantity is an error, Thus it would be physically out of the question for conspirator ttf utterly destroy any urge building. For example; in Satur. day's performance in London, a grrat litter was produced in the infmodiato vicinity of the explosives but, as the Pall Mall Gazette remarks, the sob. 8tantial damage was actually not great. Says the poper, "Everything may lie put right within a week's timer." The power of these explosives lies in the intense rapidity of action. The detona tion of nitro glycerine proceed at the rate of twenty ono thousand feet per second, or over two hundred miles minute, Hence the effect is almost entirely local. Everything in the vicinity is shattered, pulverized and completely demolished, but it is a local effect essentially.- Thus it will be impossible for the dynamiters to do much greater (farouge on any occasion than that accomplished on Saturday, from the fact that the coffkl nbt bring to the spot a charge' largfe enough for the purpose without befajr observed and their design detectjACoston Transcript, Jan. 28th.

Many years ogoTlSehemet All said to Ferdinand de Lessps: ''If you ever have any great thing to db, dd it alone; when tliero are twd persons', there (s always btie lod many." Had De LessnpB not followed this advice, it ia probablo that ho wduld not have been so successful in the great undertakings of his life: Agaiiist his twd g'reat enterprises there licit arisen dti dp'pd sition So fierce dud strong that the Second nlan at their hrad would Have to lie anbthor tie LeSfaps to remain unmoved. lliit tho nian who cdt Hie Suez Carta), and who is now cutting ihe' canal acrdss tho Isthm'Us of Pandlha; stands alorin. His is the spirit of all those whd perform apparent impossibil. ities, and hifi faith id of the chdr'dc'ler that Mirtovci) Wiotintains. Hdwevei" savage the attacks Against him' and his great Undertaking, he never fails to reply Calmly and confidently, "Messie urs, the Panama Canal will bo open to commerce irt 1886V Now' and tHrl some fact li brought td llglit wliicti shows that lie is not irtdiilgitig iri happy vision's; but is engaged in wotk; It has just become known td tlin public' that a very important contract wad made a short tim'o ago' witH the Anglr Dutch Company, which ciit the great canal from Amsterdam1 to' tho sea: This company had Undertaken the siork of cutting the Pananla Canal to the bill of CUlebra, dbout half way sxoss the Ltthirfus, the1 cortract to bo' finished in October, 1886. this pari Of the undertaking is considered the most difficult, and its accomplishment in the time specified will render the opening of the entire car.al in 1883 an assured fact. And thai the work will he pushed on to completion is manifest from the enthusiasm which it has in spired in other workers besides Dei Losseps himself. Mr Dingier, the' distinguished engineer in charge,- who" has just lost nearly all, if not his entire family, which were with him upon the Isthmus, writes to De Dsidc'ps, after his great loss, that he is rrtore than ever attached ttf thtf enter pf lie, which remains the sole object of bfs" life and the consolation of hid grief. "There' is," says De Lsseps, "among those bravo mon a sentiment of devotion; which can be compared to the devotion! of a soldier," The Nicaragua Canal project rfrid the si t marine railway or. tape. &aa8 nave, apparently, never given Do Lcsseps any uneasiness. With regard to the former", he says its' construction will not trouble him, for it will at least Sirve to fertilize the soil. As to' the latter project, he nays: ,4I think that lira greater pari of savants are too often among tlrd clouds, and this1 is the way with Capt EudaY His airy pro- jVct appears' usn'tastio to me, for I bolieve' that a ship weigh niOre in the .. . . a d a., v 1 f I air than in the water. Uftpt. xaas may sail in the ir, others may con struct the Nicaragua Canal; nothing of that kind will trouble me. I cut through my Isthmus; the principal work will be finished in 1880, and wilt be completed in 1888; I now give' ou a rendezvous for that year .. for the inauguration." .... . i . res. The firemen's exemption bill passed the Senate Saturday, under' sirspensioh of the rules, amd now ttwaits' the signa ture of the Governor. This bill was Introduced bf Hon. A; N.' Gilbert of this county into the House, and reflect credit upon the introducer. It pn vides that after a volunteer fireman has served seven rfuctosslve years he is then entitled to exemption from road and poll tax and jury duty. The fire men all over the Stato will be thankful for the past-age of fhid bill. It will make some inducement to be a fireman, and after serving thus long they can rest from their labors and feel that they are honored' by the laws of the land. StatedtuanL The Portland News says M. Vol?, formerly superintendent of construction on the Oregon & California extension but now road master, gives' it as his opinion that work oh: the extension south of Ashland will not be resumed i the Sprirtg, nor" for some time to come.- He' says matters in railroad circles are exceedingly quiet and likely ' ' to remain so indefinitely.
