Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Excerpt: {16}O_{6}(ONO_{2})_{4}, the penta- and hexa-nitro-starch. They are formed by acting upon potatostarch dried at 100° C. with a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids at atemperature of 20° to 25° C. Rice starch has also been used in itsproduction. Muhlhauer proposes to use this body as a smokeless powder, andto nitrate it with the spent mixed acids from the manufacture of nitro-glycerine. This substance contains from 10.96 to 11.09 per cent. ofnitrogen. It is a white substance, very stable and soluble even in coldnitro-glycerine.The explosive bodies formed by the nitration of jute have been studied byMessrs Cross and Bevan. and also by Mühlhäuer. The former chemists givejute the formula C_{12}H_{18}O_{9}, and believe that its conversion into anitro-compound takes place according to the equation--C_{12}H_{18}O_{9} + 3HNO_{3} = 3H_{2}O + C_{12}H_{15}O_(6}(NO_{3})_{3}.This is equivalent to a gain in weight of 44 per cent. for the tri-nitrate, and 58 per cent. for the tetra-nitrate.
