(3) Oxidizing mixtures.—These are mix tures of combustible substances with oxidizers other than the nitrates, chlorates or per chlorates. Among such bodies may be named sodium peroxide, potassium permanganate, po tassium dichromate, liquid air and liquid nitro gen tetroxide. As examples we have mixtures of sodium thiosulphate with sodium peroxide; metallic aluminum with sodium peroxide; cot ton wool with liquid air, and panclastite, which is a rnixture of carbon disulphide with liquid nitrogen tetroxide.
(4) Organic nitrates or nitric esters and mixtures containing them.—Esters: Guncotton, which is a cellulose nitrate of high nitration and practically insoluble in a mixture of ether and alcohol at ordinary temperatures; nitro cellulose, a term applied to all cellulose nitrates; nitroelectrite (isomannitol nitrate); nitro erythrite (erythrol nitrate); nitroethyl (ethyl nitrate); nitroglucose, a nitrate produced from grape sugar; nitroglycerin, pyroglycerin or glonoin oil (glyceryl' trinitrate) ; nitrolactose (nitrated sugar of milk); nitrolignin (nitrated wood); nitromanntte (mannitol nitrate); nitro methyl (methyl nitrate); nitrostarch or xyloi dine (starch nitrate); nitrosugar or nitrosac charose, a nitrate produced from cane sugar; pyroxylin, collodion cotton, nitrocotton or pyrocellulose, are cellulose nitrates of medium nitration and practically completely soluble in a mixture of ether and alcohol at ordinary temperatures. In this class is also to be in cluded the explosive mixtures into which these esters enter as essential components and of which the dynamites are conspicuous examples. These are classified, accordmg to the nature of the dope or absorbent, into A. Dynamites with an inert dynamite No. 1, giant powder NS. 1; dynamite blanche de Paulilles; dynamite de Vonges; C. dynamite; S. 1, dynamite; Rutenberg's ex plosive; dynamite rouge, ay consist of nitro glycerin with kieselguhr; Hill's powder (nitro glycerin with precipitated Mowbray's mica powder (nitroglycerin with asbestos) ; Hercules powder (Extra No. 1) (magnesia powder, nitro-magnite; dynamagnite; fulgur ite; nitroglycerin with magnesia alba); dyna mite de boghead (nitroglycerin with ashes from Boghead coal); selenitic powder (nitro glycerin with plaster of Paris) ; Horsley's powder No. 1 (nitroglycerin, alum and mag nesium sulphate); metalline nitroleum (nitro glycerin, red lead and plaster of Paris) ; renish dynamite (nitroglycerin, kieselguhr and naph thalene) ; dynamite noire (nitroglycerin, sand and coke) ; mataziette (nitroglycerin, sand, ochre, charcoal and resinous matter); pori f era nitroleum (nitroglycerin, sponge or vegetable fibre and plaster of Paris); Bursten bender's explosive (nitroglycerin, spongy vegetable substances with glycocoll or chon drin) ; Morse's explosive (nitroglycerin with rosin) ; Borland's carbo-dynamite (nitro glycerin with charcoal from cork) ; white dyna mite (nitroglycerin with lime-guhr); bontine (nitroglycerin, kieselguhr and boric acid); fluorine (nitroglycerin, kieselguhr and calcium fluoride).
B. Dynamites with an active a. Con sisting of nitroglycerin absorbed by a gun powder like dope—Ammonia dynamite; am monia knit; ammonia powder; Coad's ex plosive; Champion's powder; colonic powder; Dittmar's powder; dynamite No. 2; dynamite au charbon; dynamite d'ammoniaque; dynamite grieses de Paulilles; extra powder; Fowler's explosive; giant powder No. 2; Gotham's powder; Hercules powder; Horsley's powder No. 2; Judson's powder; Jupiter powder; lithofracteur; Monakay's explosive; miner's powder Co. dynamite; Neptune powder ; potentia; petrolithe; sebastine; thunder bolt powder; Titan powder; virite powder; Vulcan powder.
b. Consisting, of nitroglycerin absorbed by or gelatinized with a cellulose or ligno-cellulose nitrate — Blasting gelatine; cellulose dynamite; Clark's explosive; Dean's explosive; Dittmar's explosive; extra dynamite; explosive gelatine; glyoxyline; grisoutine; gum dynamite; nitro gelatine ; paleine; Punshon's explosive; Schultze's dynamite; straw dynamite; Trauzl's dynamite.
c. Consisting of nitroglycerin or an explosive gelatine incorporated with wood pulp or saw dust and a nitrate, principally sodium nitrate. Such dynamites are styled lignin-dynamites — /Etna powder; amidogene; Atlas powder; Brain's powder; carbonate; diaspon; dualin; dynamite de Krummel; dynamite de Lanky; forcite; gelatine dynamite; gelignite; giant powder; Hecla powder; megamte; miner's friend powder; grisoutite; Icadmite; petralithe; rendrock; rhexite; safety nitropowder; Schultze dynamite; stonite; stowite; vigorite.
