Nearly every natioat nowadays aast its favorite bigleexploelve or fultnin, aUng force, intended for the eharg-, g of shells, the composition of which bs supposod to be A secret The ob- jetet fs to obtain an eXpllaSiVe atich vita bare the meat deadly effeete. but a be handled without danger of - blowing slp the people who use it and Ute artillery in whileh it is /ed. Such an explestve was taken by tilt mericans in a limited quantity te Cuba, to be used in the so-called y amite guns." These guns wort pkuined to throw shell* containing Jsigh explosi;es, but the explosives us a nut nye mat' they It ul a grea et exp)oi.Wo foree then dynamiter and e substarre used In them was eete- te handle than Ordittare gunpawki This substance was said to ba pia() tioally the same as the explosive in- troduced by the French army, and yenta' meltuite, from the name th4 venter. But the Engelt have mane e most aucoessful venture yet res corded in title field with their lytitlitt piswder which has cDctrIXIOLIS eat - plosive force. and can bo fired front1 a gun which is easily carried about,' Lyddite does not take its name' from a man, as ts scatetimes supposed, but from An ancient town near Oat coast ot Kea, 'hi England -the LOWie at Lydd, where there is a government artillery range. Here the tests were made which re - suited in the preparation of tiles ex- plosive; and the name of .the peaceful Kentish village is now heralded all over the world in connection with a substance which has dealt death te hundreds of Boers and Sudanese. It has other odious qualities besides its explesive farce, since Its fumes aim se suffocating as sometimes. to 4:rive even the bravest and most obedient soldiers from their trenches. Lydd. therefore 'shares the inter- national notoelety which attache,s to the name of Ditnedu.m-that other peaceful village in diotant Bengal, where are manufactured the expand: bag bullets which Great Britain hae demanded and retained the right to use against 'barbarians." The laddite projectile used by the Brie:fah naval brigade weighs tarty - five pounds, and is fired from a gun with a ealthre of four an•d seven - tenths inches. The weight of the projectile includes the five and a half pounds of cordite, another potvernil explosive, which is required to throw it.. The weight of the lyddite in the - head of the projectile is, ten pounlie- quite enough to break the project' e into fragments and hurl them si h frightful force. The whole projectile looks -like, cartridge for a sporting rifle -ma times magnified, of course. Tsvent nine and one-half pounds of metal a hurled about by the explosien of t lya.dite, which also oasts abroad si enteag reales, suggesting the Tea of 1 smelling liquid which used to' be an offensive adjunct of the operations the Chinese infantry. The South African Boers have in their reporte, ridiculed the effects of the lyddite, declaring that the 13ritish gunners were able to do very hale damage with it. However, isitele can be no doubt that it helped to render the position of G-enertil CI onje uneta- able after he was surrounded.; and it mast bean important aid in beleaguer:" ing operations. el-ATI/MAL HISTORY LESSONS.
