Otto' method is expensive, anid hans not pi odluc.rd, * as far as ithas been trind in this cuntery , the expectedl resules;anmd the Ilbours oef A merican Chemibts have not hitherto .beena entirely successful. When Professor Ehlet made hmis first eX? periments ini the manmufacture of* Explosive Cotton, hee was in possession of no furth~er -infurmation of the muaterials of which it wvas composed,. than that cottoni was a pamrt, and thaot an c~plosive suibstanece haWl been oreplared, whuich had nmny of the proper ties mafgun piowder. From his v'ery arem~u r ite knowledge of Chemnistry an agrent PaW -gested itself to him, whlich lhe t~houeght wuonhil pirodutce a like result,.*and his first expmeri mient with Nitric Acid, succeeded i'beyond his moat sanguine c'xpectatioins. This took place o'n the 1 4th of' Octobei- last. Oni the 31st of thu same month, hie used a umi xteere or Sulphuric aind Nitric Acid, which was stil more satisfactoary, and on the 19th of November ho completed hils process feor the :manufacturo of the Explosive Ceotuen. whlich lie hins communicaeted in a letter ad-. airessed to'time commilttee of the Ilouise, teo be ltied before thme Legislature.

A momang some of. thme remarkable properties of the Explosive Cotton whiichi yourt commit ve might enumerate, it-is said to possess fur times greater. power than m gun powdver, ad it has been estimated in weuighat as high~h as one0 of thme former to seveti of thme hatter.
