Properties of gun-cotton compared ivith those of gunpowder. Gun-cotton is more easily exploded than gunpowder ; the latter requires a temperature of at least 600 F. , whilst gun-cotton may explode at 277 F. , and must explode at 400 F. It is very difficult to explode gunpowder by percussion, even between a steel hammer and anv...il; but gun-cotton invariably detonates in this way, though the explosion is confined to the part under the hammer. The explosion of gun-cotton is, of course, unat- tended by any smoke, a most important advantage in mines, the atmo- sphere of which is sometimes rendered almost intolerable by the smoke of gunpowder used in blasting, but death has been caused by the large amount of carbonic oxide generated by the gun-cotton. The absence of residue from the gun-cotton prevents the fouling of guns, and renders it unnecessary to sponge them after each discharge, for the amount of incom- bustible mineral matter present in the cotton is very small (from 1 to 2 per cent.
