Bile discovery very lately madeb Prof. Schou-
bein. Cotton is so prepared as TO be suddenly
converted by spark to the gaseous state,
without evolving smoke; leaving as resi-
due only small quantity Of carbonaceous
matter. Balls and she'll are stated to have
been projected by this prepared cotton, tine
projectile force Of which is twice as great as
that Of gunpowder. -Four ounces blew TO pie
ces thick wall and it was calculated that il
would have required as many pounds Of gun
power TO produce an equal effect. If wetted,
the cotton re-acquires its properties on drying.
A full account Of this remarkable substance is
TO be made by the Professor to the British As
sociation
