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

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.
