Abstract
IN collecting together and translating the papers on the researches carried out in the laboratory of the Carbonite Explosives Company, Hamburg, the translator has given to English readers a valuable and interesting little volume. The title is perhaps a trifle misleading, but the whole scope of the work may be seen from the following quotation:—“(1) Why does a smaller quantity of one explosive than another cause ignition of fire-damp? (2) What are the incidental phenomena and the influences tending to promote such result? (3) In what manner do they co-operate in producing it?”
