If a section of the tube thus formed be inter- ...posed between the ends of the conducting wires, and a cur- rent of sufficient intensity be caused to circulate through the wire, it will leaye the wire at the break, and pass through the sulphide of copper ; but here sufficient resistance will be set up to ignite the sulphide, and, if it is in contact with gunpowder, will explode it. Statham's fusse is constructed on this principle, but it is very uncertain in its action without fulminate of mercury as a priming substance.
