It Is possible to weave a very attrac tive fabric—as regards appearances, at least—out of ordinary gunpowder. The cloth looks very much like silk and when Ignited instantly disappears with out leaving a trace behind. The fabric is used for making bags to hold gunpowder, which in this shape are loaded into big guns. When the bags are of canvas, as is customary, they are not consumed by the explo sion, and what remains of them after firing has to be removed from the pow der chamber of the weapon. But if gunpowder bags be substituted for can vas the sack actually becomes part of the explosive charge, and no trace of it la left after the shot has sped. Sound Enjoyment.
