United States Possess Secret ot
Deadly New Explosive.

Dunnlta Proves Superior to Bhimosa
With Which Japan Won Har
Great Naval Victorias.
New York, Aug. 24.— The Time* to
day says:
“ The experiments at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds with Dunnite, the high
explosive invented by Major Dunn, of
the Ordnance corps, U. 8. A., have
proved that the United States possesses
in Dunnite the secret of au explosive
perhaps more powerful and destructive
than any other explosive ever invented.
“ Dunuite, army officers say, is more
powerful than Shimose, the explosive
with which the Japanese did such ter
rific execution in the naval battles off
Port Arthur and Vladivostok and in the
Sea of Japan. Shimoee ordnance offi
cers say the explosive is a compound of
picric acid, the secret of which is known
to the ordnance officers of all the first-
class powers. Oo the other hand, the
secret of Dunnite Ji» in the exclusive
possession of the United States govern
ment.
“ In the recent testa of Dunnite at
Sandy Hook it le said that the very best
five and six-inch armor plates that
could be obtained were used as targets.
The result ol every shot was the same.
The armor plate was smashed into
thousands of email pieces, it is said, by
their impact. The impact of the Dun
nite ia also all that is necessary to ac
complish the destruction of the target.
Penetration is not necessary, the impact
being such that the armor i| shattered
into countless pieces.
“ The droping of a Dunnite shell on
the deck of a battleship, it is said by
many ordnance officers, would mean the
immediate sinking of that ship, not by
penetration of ite vital parts, but sim
ply by racking the vessel until her
seams opened and the lnrnab of water
sent her to the bottom. This, it ia raid
by some ordnance officers, was the way
that the Japanese put the Russian ship
out of commission. They would drop
the Shimose shell» on the decks, and
the destructive Shimoee did the rest.
