Ordinarily one of the most lazy, inactive, inert of substances, this gas Will, under certain circumstances, enter into combination with others, and when it does SO it becomes in some cases the very reverse of its usual peaceful, lethargic self. It is as if it entered reluctantly into these compounds and so introduced an element of instability into them.

The latter, particularly, conjures up visions of anarchists, bombs, and all manner Of wickedness. Yet the time seems to be coming when every farmer will regard explosives, Of the general type known to the public as dynamite, as among his most trusty implements. It is so already in some places. In the United States explosives have been used for years, owing to the exertions Of the Du Pont Powder Company, while Messrs Curtiss' and Harvey, and Messrs Nobels, the great explosive manufacturers, are busy introducing them in Great Britain.
