Abel s method of nitrating cotton was not elegant. The plant was a series of water-cooled cast-iron pots containing mixed acid into which cotton hanks were dipped. J. M.

The following tables, taken from Messrs William Macnab s and E. Ristori s paper ( Proc. Roy. Soc., 56, 8-19), "Researches on Modem Explosives," are very interesting. They record the results of a large number of experiments made to determine the amount of heat evolved, and the quantity and composition of the gases produced when certain explosives and various smokeless powders were fired in a closed vessel from which the air had been previously exhausted. The explosions were carried out in a "calorimetric bomb" of Berthelot s pattern. [A]...
