He thinks tbot by aeetnm rile historians intended to describe a' anbstnrice reeembllng dy namite in Ita properties, and be Invitee chemists to consider tbe question whether tbe ancients may cot bava possessed a formula for making a pow erful eiploaive of this kind. - He calls attention to the act that two ancient bistorlana, Marcua Grae cus and Albert of All. apeak of the ex istence of two kinds of acerum, one of which possessed greater energy than the other. A clew to the composition of this explosive may be found, be be lieves, In the tact that to acetum 'waa ascribed tbe property' of extinguishing tbe dreaded "Greek fire.''
