Ellicott that gunpowdor stoadlly do veloped as rneclmnlcalsklll constructed bottcr and bettor wonpons ln whlch to uao lt, untll lo-day it has reached a por fectlon of manufacture for various pur poscs which oliows its cffccts to bo fore told in any woapon, oven to tho timo it takcs a grain to burn, and to tho dis tanco it will drivo a shot. Itogor Bacon's gunpowdor was mado of saltpetcr, sulphur and charcoal. Saltpotor is chemically callcd nitro, and is a natural product, found bedded in tho oarth iu dlfferont parts of tho world, chiefly in India and China. Sulphur, too, ls found in a natural stato In many volcanlc countries, liko Sicily, whilo, as is woll known, charcoal is mado from wood or woody substanccs by heating thcm almost to a burnlng hoat in an air-tight vossel, thus driving off overything in thcm but carbon. Saltpoter, sulphur and charcoal aro still tho only ingredionts of tho gun powder in common uso, although a now gunpowder, mado of difforent materials, is undergoiug succeesful oxporimont. A mixturo of saltpoter and charcoal alono would form an explosivo, and sulphur is added chiefly to mako it plastic, or capablo of being preeBed into cakcs and shapes. All throo ingredients havo to be purifled by tho most careful chomical skill before they are combined. Then an exact proportion of oach has to bo measured out, occording to tho kind of powder to bo mado. For tho gunpowder gcnerally uaed, you would Dnd in overy hundred pounds, if you could separato the -ingredionts, soventy-flvo pounds of salt poter, flfteen pounds of charcoal, and ton pounds of sulphur; but it would bo almost impossible to separato tho in gredients, for thoy aro not merely mixed togethor as you might mix pep per and salt, but they aro ground, and rolled, and stirrcd, and pressed to gether by special machlnes, until they aro almost sufllciently unitetl to form a singlo newsubstance. This mixing process is called "trit uration," aud the powdor is thus mado into tho form of big, flat cakes, called press-cake, and then brokon up, and screened into grains of special stees, or ground to tho Ono powder used for shot-guns and rovolvers. Tho large-groined powders are still further stirrcd togethor, until tho grains becorae highly glazed, and theso are called cnnnon powders. A lightcd match may bo held to a grain of can non powder and it will be found almost impossible to sst it on flro, but onco ig nited, lt llashes off very suddenly and violently. Exchange. Killcd by aKIfrht Moth. Ono of tho most mysterious murdor cases on record was lliat of tbc Prin cess Naravella, a lovely woman who mot with a violont death in Naples. Sho was found in her own room, ono ovcniug, lying dead on her bed, with the mark of a tiny bullet holo iu tho region of tho heart. It wns clear that no strangcr had flred tho shot, sinco tho bcdroom was siluated on tho third lloor, and no one had recontly entered tho gates of tho pnlaco; therefore, in accordauco with tho policy uauully observed in such cases, the husband of tho dead woman was arrested, on a chargo of havlng murdered his wifo with tho littlo pistol which lay by her sido on a tablo, and ono cbamber of which was empty, color being lent to tho accusation by tho fact that ho was uotoriously jealous. His trial rcsulted in acquittal, partly in consequonce of on oxtraordlnary pieco of testimony which was produced in court by ono of tho polico ofllcials. Tho etory ho related was this. Two days aftor tho murdcr, on the removal of tho seals from tho doors of tho bedroom, ho bad made a careful in vestigation of tho opartmont, and had found on tho lloor, by the bcdsldo, ono of thoso enormous night moths, tho bodies of which aro almost as thick as a mau's thumb, and wbich abound 5n Italy. Tho moth was badly singed, and somo of tho powdor of its wings was apparontly on tho ebooy antf gold stock and trigger of tho littlo rovolver which had beon found on tbo tablo, and wlth which tho shooting had beon dono, Tho ofllcial called tho attontion of tho judgcs and jur.y to tho phcnomcnal facility with which tho trigger yiolded, and advauced tho oxtraordlnary argu ment that tho princess had been killcd through tho ageucy of tho night moth, which, ho allugnd, must havo flown into tho room, attracted by tho candlo light, and, falliug with singed wings on to tho tablo, had diacharged tho rovol ver in tho violonco of his contorlions.
