The greater part of this deficit is accounted for by the discovery of two substances, glycerine and succinic acid, of the existence of which Lavoisier was unaware, in the fermented liquid.

The brigade is sugar, the regiments are carbonic acid, succinic acid, alcohol, and glycerine.

Among them he enumerated target-companies, sewing-machines, patent baby-jumpers, nitro-glycerine, shoo-fly chewing-tobacco, wooden hams, stuffed ballot-boxes, and a hundred other things which we are prone to brag of as being purely Yankee and original.

But the most novel addition to the camp has been a Fat Factory for the production of fat,from which comes the glycerine used in explosivesout of all the food refuse of the camp.

The fat produced by the system, here and in England, has already provided glycerine far millions of eighteen-pounder shells; the problem of camp refuse, always a desperate one, has been solved; and as a commercial venture the factory makes 250 per cent.

Once secured, it can be kept for an indefinite time in glycerine and water or dilute alcohol.

At the same time we may give thrice daily a tonic pill like the following: Sulphate of quinine, 1/8 to 3 grains; sulphate of iron, 1/2 grain to 5 grains; extract of hyoscyamus, 1/8 to 3 grains; extract of taraxacum and glycerine enough to make a pill.

And here is the rose-glycerine.

We have a practical illustration of this truth in the explosion of nitro-glycerine.

The explanation of this phenomenon common among the laborers who are the most numerous witnesses of it, which you have doubtless often heard, and which is accepted by ignorant minds without further thought, is that the action of nitro-glycerine is downward.

The real explanation is, that the explosive action of nitro-glycerine is so nearly instantaneous, that the resistance of the atmosphere is very nearly equal to that of the rock; at any rate, is sufficient to cause the rock to be broken up.

The Spaniards were dropping nitro-glycerine bombs into the city from the balloons.

A shell, filled with fifty or a hundred pounds of dynamite or nitro-glycerine, would be sure to do terrible damage anywhere within a radius of three miles around Madison Square.

The amount of pollen was determined by exposing slips of glass, each having an area of a square centimeter, and coated with a sticky mixture of glycerine, water, proof spirit, and a little carbolic acid.

"The method of procedure was to expose on the lee side of a field of potatoes, of which only about two per cent, were diseased, ordinary microscopic slides, measuring two inches long by one inch broad, coated on the exposed surface with a thin layer of glycerine, to which objects alighting would adhere, and in which, if of the nature of conidia, they would be preserved.

"Yes, Missie, glycerine and rose-water, Missie!" He had taken some from her dressing-table to shine up his face in honor of me!

He moistened the drum with glycerine and water and, substituting a stylus of hay for the stapes bone, he obtained a wonderful series of curves which showed the vibrations of the human voice as recorded by the ear.

When Joe carelessly picked up a small bottle that stood upon the table before Slippery, the yegg's face turned pale, and then he explained to the boy who too commenced to shudder the longer he listened, that the harmless looking liquid in the bottle was fearfully dangerous nitro-glycerine.

While Boston Frank hitched the horse and buggy to a nearby tree, Slippery carried the heavy satchels containing the tools to the rear of the store, while he ordered Joe to carefully unwrap the nitro-glycerine bottle from his leg, which the boy gladly did to be rid of the dangerous explosive, and then handed it to Slippery.
